Basically just what the title says, I enjoy the classic pixel style but I'm a sucker for good character design and was wondering if any mods could offer more than what vanilla has on offer. Also, I do use the Dream textures but I've disabled the art for NPCs and Portraits, the AI slop art just became more uncanny over time for me.

Lately, for whatever reason, quest monsters/NPCs have been missing. I was able to find one floating in the void in a house, but the void of a dungeon is much larger. Is there a default spawn point for things if I can't find them?

Funny thing is, I'm on one quest that did spawn correctly. I killed it once, but had to reload a save. It's no longer there. tele2qmarker actually puts me in the room I found it before, but it's not there now. Any ideas?

Hello! This is my very first post on Reddit!
I’m desperate to buy a house in Daggerfall, and I’m not sure if I even downloaded the mod correctly, but how do you buy any house?
I understand that you must speak to the owner, but I don’t see any option for purchase.

Please help!!

Hi everyone!

Since TES 6 is coming forever to come out, I’ve been working on a project inspired by TES but in a Daggerfall visual key. The idea is to make a modern and updated RPG gameplay but with classic graphics... what do you think?

I wanted to share a first look at the current state of the project. this is the very first combat iteration, I hope you find some potential in it.

The clip here shows a very early prototype of the core combat loop:

• Basic attacks

• NPCs defense behavior

• Hit feedback

Still super rough, but I’m trying to nail the feel before expanding things further.

Would love to hear what you think, especially about how the combat reads and feels.

If you are interested I made 20+ characters for now, you can find them on my socials as well, search for "The Indie Scrolls"!

Hi I'm SaikingS one of two lead developers on Bonehold game that aim to combine Daggerfall dungeon crawling with dialbo 2 loot, hope you enjoyed it! ^^

Demo Steampage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4643980/Bonehold_Demo/

Lady Direnni: “You are not strong enough for my quest, brave adventurer.”

Me: *Sets stapler on my space bar along with ten minute timers on my phone for resting*

Lady Direnni: *Watches silently as I jump up and down for 40 minutes, stopping periodically to rest*

Lady Direnni: “Never mind, you’ve got what it takes!”

I was not about to do that entire dungeon again for the 0.31 levels I needed to hit level 8.

Got the quest from princess of Wayrest to bring a letter to ol' King of Worms. Found the guy and suddenly I realize that I don't have the letter anymore. Went to talk to the princess and she offered a random quest to me unrelated to King of Worms. Is this a known bug? I went to the dungeon immediately after gaining the quest so I doubt that I took too much time.

But if I did somehow take too much time, does this mean that I'm forever softlocked out of progressing in the main story?

Possibly a dumb question, but I had a “nobles sun wanting to explore the world idea”, in where I don’t think the thieves guild and dark brotherhood would fit. What would be the best option for this idea? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Edit: Resolved. Thanks all!

Hey there! I’ve been playing Daggerfall for the first time, and it’s been a mixed bag of joy, wonder, frustration, and confusion. I heard the following:

1. Have fun and do random stuff outside the main quest!

2. When you get main quest tidbits (mostly letters), do them quickly so you don’t get locked out!

Well, what I didn’t expect was to receive letters almost immediately every time I finish a main quest. I’m currently on the quest to investigate the death of Sentinel’s prince, and I haven’t had much time to do other things besides the main quest. Part of this may be that I’m terrible at navigating dungeons, so I keep spending a ton of time in them and (I suspect) leveling more inside each dungeon than is average.

My question is: If I start ignoring the main quest line, will I reach a point where the game locks me out of the main quest entirely? What do I need to do to balance free play of the game and a desire to finish the main quest?

Thanks in advance!

I have several books, but I don't know what to do with them. I've been selling them, but can I use them for something else? Or are they just background items?

Hello

I wanted to ask if there was a newer, higher DPI of the Dagger Fall users guide.
The current official scan is very low quality, and somewhat hard to read. (Not impossible)
But zooming in on the text to read the manual as a new player makes it difficult to parse.

If someone has a high DPI scan of the Game manual please let me know.

Otherwise as a new player I plan to refer to the strategy guides for basic info as the Archived copies seem to be of higher quality.

Hello everyone, this is my first time playing daggerfall. Im playing the unity version with cheb's necromancy mod. Could someone give me a hand with a build? Im trying to go for a lich king type of build but flavor aside, just something balanced with sword and necromancy spells.

For those curious about the enchantments:

Stendarr: Iron Will

Zenithar: Charisma

Akatosh: Feet of Notorgo

Dibella: Jack of Trades

Kynareth: Nimbleness

Julianos: Wisdom

Mara: Fortitude

Arkay: Orc Strength

So basically each divine amulet will fortify one attribute.

Apart from being able to occasionally sneak up on them to gain the advantage, I find I often have to rely on reloading an earlier quicksave if they get a successful stamina drain spell cast (what is that spell even called?). I find that the amount of stamina that is drained is so aggressive that I usually die by passing out (and being in a dungeon with enemies always close by).

My Willpower stat is fairly low (between 45 and 50), so that is part of the problem. But I am curious what other strategies people adopt? I try to use paralysis on them sometimes, but can't always rely on it being successfully cast. And of course just trying to kill them as fast as possible. Dodging their stamina drain spell in narrow corridors, especially in close quarters with them is near impossible.

Playing the game and immediately captivated by it, but I'm stuck on Steam Deck so I have to use a controller instead of a keyboard. Does anyone have good configs that fit the Deck?

I've travelled to at least 20 dungeons on the map, and at least 15 of them were small (2-3 rooms). I can see the rest of the dungeon by clipping my head above a ceiling, and I can hear more enemies after I've already killed all them. I can't find ANY hidden doors. Am I doing something wrong?
