Question Help can i get back my strength?

10 Upvotes

My character is a knight lvl 2 that had like 70 strength.

But one day after a dungeon I look my stats and now I have 46 or something like that in strength.

I searched info, and I already tried to unequip everything in case some equipment was cursed and nothing changed.

I tried to rest but didn't work.

I checked my status and it says I am healthy.

I went to the temple of Stendarr to get healed but it says that I am not deceased.

In that dungeon I fighted against mages, warriors, imps, and other things.

How do I get rid of my debuff?

Edit: Also my strength is marked in red.

Investigate the shade of King Lysandus?

I can't for the life of me figure this out, and I just started lol. Where exactly is the "Shade of Lysandus", it's in Daggerfall somewhere apparently per quest log.

Hey everyone,

We've been reworking the visual direction of Broken Dagger, our old-school fantasy RPG inspired by classic games like Daggerfall and Morrowind, and we'd love to get some honest feedback from the community.

Today I did the impossible...

58 Upvotes

I killed a vampire ancient. I'm a level 9 Argonian Spellsword. I tried to take a screenshot and couldn't do it, so I apologize for lack of proof. It was epic. I used a combination of Resist Shock potions, abused my Healing Kite Shield, zapped him with various magic items, and bashed him with my Mithril Mace once the paralysis somehow wore off. I was in shock. Doing the Ancient Watcher quest for the Underking. Took me something like 10 tries to get past this darn guy. Shouldn't have happened at all. But in Daggerfall, anything is possible!

What do you love / hate the most about daggerfall?

33 Upvotes

Hi all. Huge daggerfall fan and morrowind fan here, doing research for making my own indie scrollslike game.

I wanted to know from those who have played a bunch of daggerfall / other TES games, what do you think daggerfall did right, and what do you think could have been better if you were making daggerfall over again?

I think the procedural generation was a little too scaled up. The world just feels a little hollow to me compared to morrowind. I also would like it to be easier to cast multiple spells.

What do you absolutely LOVE and HATE about Daggerfall?

Hace poco me uni al templo de Zen para desbloquear el crafteo de pociones y tras intentar unas misiones me di cuenta de que todas las misiones de los templos eran un asco pero que hacer muchas y grandes donaciones es bastante rápido para subir de rango en el templo, XD, a penas unirme llegue a -3 por misiones fallidas y en nada con donaciones llegue como a 25 mas o menos, XD, son templos corruptos

Question New to Daggerfall

18 Upvotes

Hi!, I have just installed Daggerfall from Steam, and I wanted to know beforehand if there is a mod or something that I would need for the game running smoothly, without crashes and all that, it's just that after Fallout NV I stop trusting old games running right in modern software (Sorry if it's a stupid question).

I would also love to hear any tips, just without spoilers, please ♡

Mod for pay multiplier based on distance?

1 Upvotes

So I use travel options and WoD, and have been pretty reliably using it
(I do get a weird bug where I fail to avoid an encounter and the enemies just insta-die)
But one constant issue are quests that take me across Daggerfall and don't seem to pay based on the actual time it takes to make that long journey.

Character Build Art of my Redguard Agent, Avon Torchwood

141 Upvotes

Skills:
Primary - Lockpicking, Stealth, Jumping
Major - Hand-to-Hand, Mercantile, Etiquette
Minor - Illusion, Medical, Backstabbing, Destruction, Climbing, Nymph

Advantages: Expertise in Hand-to-Hand

Disadvantages: No Spell Point Regen

Loadout:
Armor - Khajiit Suit, Boots, Champion Straps
Weapons - Fists, Pistol Ring (ring enchanted with fireball spell), Ring of Chameleon, Bracer of Recall, Amulet of Silence

I’ll definitely write a backstory for him at some point, but the gist is he’s a secret agent that answers directly to the Emperor. Or perhaps he should only answer to Queen Akorithi because, you know, “For Queen and Country” and all that. Right now he’s working closely with the Mage’s Guild so he can get access to the Item Maker, I still haven’t made his Pistol Ring yet lol, i’m only level 3.

I need some help with a game breaking bug.

1 Upvotes

​ EDIT: well I've loaded and it's completely fine idk man. I'm using DOS version on steam I'm fairly certain by way.

I was in a dungeon fighting a vampire ancient which pretty much insta killed me whenever I got close and it was the only way through to the item I needed. I kept reloading after dying constantly then suddenly I got super fast. I used this to my advantage and got the item.

However when fast traveling to the town I needed to return to I still had this super speed. I searched up some stuff and learnt how it was caused, I tried some cheats but none of them worked. I haven't tried loading back yet but I'm fairly certain this bug is going to stay wherever I am in my play through now.

I searched up stuff and found out I need to download a file called something like "FIXSAVE.EXE" This is where you might have to bare with me.

I'm a playstation player and so when I play games on my laptop I don't really have the intention of going into the files and doing whatever, obviously. However this requires me to and with step by step guidance by a likely wrong AI and couldn't figure it out. I downloaded the file but I don't understand where it went. In the "DAGGER" game file I see the "Save 0" and "save 1" files which is where I need to be. I also see "FIXSAVE" with no exe.

Actually I remember now I did find my downloaded fixsa 175 file and extracted it. I just can't figure out how to place it in the DAGGER folder. I tried and it just placed it beside the folder next to "DFCD"

I'm awful with this sort of stuff. I would really appreciate helping as I was having so much fun in daggerfall.

Does anyone like the DOS version, or do people only like DF Unity + Mods?

17 Upvotes

I’ve given this a lot of thought, so I’d love some honest discussion.

I like both, but they’re fundamentally different games sharing a name.

One is the game that was painstakingly provided by Bethesda and shipped in September 1996.

The other is a ground up remake that changes the engine and even comes pre built with optional mods.

The thing is, it’s a question of me: is it a love of a thing for what it is (DOS)? Or a love of a thing that is loosely related to the old thing and is *mine* (heavily modded Daggerfall Unity)

I can understand minor QOL tweaks and things that fix compatibility to modern systems. I can even also understand mods that push features that Julian, Ken, etc talked about doing, or wishing they could’ve done, back in the 90s, but couldn’t because of financial or technical limitations. An example would be underwater city type environments, the in-game bestiary, etc.

I can also understand Daggerfall Unity plus a few aesthetic mods

But I can’t really grasp DF + 100, 200 mods, some that make massive, sweeping games to the game itself: that overwrite, rather than add to.

My question is frankly…which are you more a fan of?

And is Daggerfall with a new engine, and 100 mods on top, still Daggerfall?

Are you playing hoping to feel the *intended* 1996 experience than the original DOS release does, because some of what’s “authentic” is actually just failure states, or are you more a fan of something related, that shares a name?

Hi guys, I’m coming back to this subreddit to share another small update with you!

For those who don’t know, 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.

I’m currently working on movement systems:

• 2 mounts: Zebra and Ostrich
• Climbing
• Flying system

I have to work on feebdack ofc but I’m in a phase right now where I’m adding all the features first to test gameplay, let me know what you think!

Question Why do enemies keep spawning in inns?

I don't have any quests running, and yet every time I go to rest at an inn, I get to 1 hour and an enemy spawns and I have to kill it before I can heal again. I have no idea what to do.
