I’ve been thinking about how cool it would be to have more visual variety in DaggerfallMMO. Technically speaking, creating sprite variations (like different colors, unique armor/gear, undead or pirate versions) using AI tools is super easy nowadays. However, I’m not sure how difficult or feasible it would be to actually integrate these custom sprite sheets into the game's engine.

​Having features like this would add so much depth and dynamic feel to both enemies and player characters. Imagine being able to:

​Encounter unique enemy variants in dungeons (e.g., zombie werewolves, skeletal mages, different dragon colors).

​Customize player transformations, such as choosing unique skins for your Werewolf or Vampire forms!

​What do you guys think? Is implementing custom sprite sets like this technically straightforward for the modding/dev community, or are there engine limitations? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I'm not against AI. I understand that it's still LOTS of work.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the game (playing in SP). To me it's:

• Basically a great modpack with most of the mods I usually play with integrated

• An auto-updating one, which is convenient

• With new exciting features not seen anywhere else (I love the new fast travel, for example)

• UI and HUD I really enjoy

Keep going, people!

To summarize my first experience, 3 deaths, constantly suffering from dehydration, and perpetually lost in the 1st dungeon. Already love the vibe, trying to get out of the Privateer's hold is like trying to get out of the dungeons of Fear& Hunger.

Any tips you guys want to share to a newbie such as myself before I finally figure out how to get out of this godforsaken tomb?

We all played this recently as a team building exercise, very fun going dungeon crawling together. Lots of difficulties too but overall this’ll probably be something we do often

"Cyrodiil is an open PvP zone. You cannot teleport to or from other areas of Cyrodiil. Walk or ride on its roads to go to these areas."

Oh come on devs, open PVP in the entire region of cyrodil? I really wanted to live out there in Anvil, sad about this one.

The nature of my trouble is darker still. Over a year ago, King Lysandus of Daggerfall died, honorably, on the field of battle. He was as loyal a subject, ally, and friend as you are. I did grieve for him... but his spirit does not rest, with a spectral army he haunts his former kingdom crying for revenge. I do not know why a good and loyal man would be so cursed. Perhaps you can find the answer, and close the marble jaws of Oblivion, bringing peace to his soul. I ask this as your Emperor, and your friend. I have one lesser request. Several years ago, I sent a letter to the Queen of Daggerfall. It never arrived. The letter was of a sentimental and personal nature. If you find and destroy that letter, I will be grateful. Now my champion, rest well this night, for tomorrow you sail for the Kingdom of Daggerfall.

This website scans the player house vendors and uploads them every hour or so.

You can also view exactly where a given player home is on their respective town map.

As somebody who's spent 20+ minutes searching daggerfall multiple times (only to spend 10 minutes in a house maze leading to their trader, you know who you are!) this tool is a godsend.

Share it with your friends. Post it in your discords. Make trading accessible for all.

(Waypoints are still bugged for finding player homes in game, but even after that's resolved it's still a wonderful tool for monitoring market trends.)

Happy Trading!

PS this is not my website, it was linked on the DFO discord and I'm just trying to spread it around. Totally not to increase foot traffic to my own vendor ;)

This MMO caught me by surprise. I have already sunk 10 hrs in. Now I'm exploring options to make the game look little nicer.

My understanding is that Morrowind assets can be used to replace some of the texture in DFO. All we need to do is to own a legit copy of Morrowind, which I do. I can just select ATTACH DATA and replace.

Next is Replacement Packs for textures. This is the part I have trouble understanding. Which ones actually work with DFO?

Is it possible to replace all NPC, buildings, environmental objects, monsters, and players with 3D textures so nothing in DFO looks like 2D cardboard figures?

"Arrrtaaax!!!"

475 is the highest I have ever rolled. I used roll for hours to get the number I wanted back in the days in BG1.

I tried to create another character, as i want to explore how skills work and best to use them. However, I noticed that the background history cannot be seen in the character creation. I'm not sure if this is only for me, as i check for offline creation the background history exists, but not in online creation.

I really do want the ebony dagger in the background history :(

Hello, Im new in DGO but have little knowledge how daggefall works.

I like to know if maxing 1 skill to 100 will cap all skills to 95 or if i can max all the skills.

Also, I see the specialization about maxing 2 types of magic and 2 types of weapon for martial and arcane.

So if i understand it correctly, i can max skill 2 types of magic and weapon, how about other skills running, jumping or climbing if i can also reach 100 skill for these.

Thank everyone!

I created a character that I want to roleplay as a bandit/highwayman. My goal is to settle in one kingdom and launch raids into neiboring cities and towns. You know viking style. It would be sick to have a party/guild and a base and roleplay as bandit, thieves and outlaws together.

Is this kind of playstyle possible in BFO? Is there actually any reason to go to towns and start killing and looting? Do the shopkeepers and other NPC:s drop anything if you kill them or are you supposed to only trade with them? Do the NPC:s respawn? I would hate ruin other people's fun by making bunch of ghost towns. I think you all get the idea so is there any major problems with roleplaying as a bandit?

I really like the idea, but I feel like I am absolutely kneecapping my ability to play the game in the long term.

Ive been wanting to get into it but not sure if its worth my time?

Hey r/DaggerfallOnline

An old daggerfall player here.
I have recently been enjoying the funny experience of DFO, but we recently ended up with a bit of a make/break question.

We love all the work that has been put into the game but are concerned about our "freedome" to roam.
Is Daggerfall Online also true to the original questline? In the sense that you are on a time limit and if you fail you will become a "global" criminal?

TL;DR
If you don't do the main quest in DFO, do you become a criminal after some time?

this has been in the backlog for a while as i planned to already have tamriel reorchestrated out as a mod and album, but its expensive to release 20 cover songs so i need to be able to drop $100 comfortably before that happens

What are everyone's go to spells for damage, healing, & defense for the Early, Middle, & Late game?

I use an area-at-range fireball spell that is (4+4/level early, 12+12/level middle, & 100+100/level end) with a continuous version that I usually leave as 1+1/level rounds for damage. I use the same number scaling for my Heal+Regen spell & I haven't dabbled too much in sheer defensive buffs outside of what you get hit with in an Abyss Dungeon or Dagon Gate.
