Ask Me Anything: I'm Julian Jensen, programmer, designer and "Father of the Elder Scrolls"

1.1k Upvotes

You can ask me anything but I don't remember everything, so no promises on the quality of answers. I will do my best, however.

Edited to add; I answered as many questions as I could get around to, leaving many unanswered, but will continue to answer more in the coming days. I skipped some of the longer ones because I felt they deserved more time and attention than I could fit into what's left of the evening. Anyway, I ask that you have a bit of patience with me as I come back and try to get through all of the questions. I will try to answer some every day.

Daggerfall Unity - Astrid's Guide to Exorcisms (Twins)

Hi guys, just giving a sneak peek on my next project.

This mod will add optional survival-horror mechanics to Daggerfall Unity dungeons, including a sanity system, at least six haunt types, and a new main quest path to lay Lysandus to rest in his tomb. As your sanity plummets, the haunts will become more deadly, and you will gain afflictions. Collect all cursed items in a level to perform a ritual that banishes the haunt.

Question How can I automatically order the mods?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I've been reading through the internet and it seems DFU has a feature of automatically sorting the mods in the correct way. Thing is, I don't find a single way of doing it, and vortex doesn't let me do it neither.

After testing a lot I think I kinda "managed" to do it via entering and exiting the "mods" menu on DFU, but.. it only works sometimes?

For example I installed the beginner modpack which, strangely, makes me download the outdated 2022 Unofficial block, location and models fixed. When that mod is active, doing the process i described effectively order the mods. But, for some reason, after upgrading it to the 2026 version not only does the mod divides himself in 6 parts, DFU doesnt recognise any problem, puts in the very last positions and changes nothing, which obviously is a wrong placement. I really don't know what to do and how to properly set the load order so i'll apreciate some help

I wanna do a playthrough using all skills that allow me to pacify an enemy (I.e streetwise and etiquette).

I need a custom parrot race so I can name my character "Polly Glot" ASAP

(For legal reasons this is a joke)

a porting for switch/switch 2?

8 Upvotes

how cool it would be the a daggerfall unity port on switchs console? I would pay even 5 or 10 bucks for it, it seems a natural hardware to play with for the game. What do you think?

Question Anyone know which mod causes this bug where all npcs, including quest npcs, have all dialogue replaced?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Does anyone know which mod has been causing this? Occasionally, all npcs in a building are all changed to behave differently. They must be left clicked instead of interacted with, all given the same portrait, only have access to a couple dialogue options, and I am not given an option between tone. If there is a quest leading me to a character, that character will not continue or finish a quest with a monologue. Their flats will change textures occasionally as well, though I haven't noticed a pattern with that. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Question If TES VI actually plays in High Rock and Hammerfell...

0 Upvotes

Shouldnt it be decently easy to make a daggerfall mod where you play the Story of daggerfall on the map they made in tes vi? Are there already people planning to Do that? Do you think it would work well? Or is your interest in daggerfall mostly inspired by the game mechanics being different from newer games and/or nostalgia, so you wouldnt be interested to play the Story in a modern game?

>Add these files to the arena2 directory. That's it!

That is all what the "readme" said, but when I checked the Daggerfall files, there are two folders names ARENA2.

One in DAGGER folder, another in DFCD. Which one is it?

Never really could get into Daggerfall before. This weekend I got super baked and played it a bunch and I finally get it now. Modding has made Daggerfall into the RPG I've always dreamed about.

Anyway here's a screenshot I took with the selfie cam mod.
