How Not to Play Daggerfall! 

Basically when people at school knows you cause trouble and then automatically you're guilty for everything that happens no matter if don't actually know what's going on

"Aw fuck, that crazy triple-homicide guy that got outta jail after only a year just showed up in town. Arrest him before he kills again."

Ohh. If that's actually how it works in-game, it would explain why I was run out of Daggerfall Kingdom by endless arrests.

"Oh god, the cheese thief has returned . . ."

I honestly don't see how anyone misunderstood "You've done bad shit before, we think you'll do it again" as he goes about trying to join the Dark Brotherhood lol

My answer would be, because there are only two kinds of undead in fiction. Science fiction undead, like World War Z. And Fantasy undead, where is it magic, or a curse, etc, like Evil Dead.

@@Mephilis78 Oh, I was being facetious. As a huge fantasy fiction fan, I always just assume "because magic."

@@logan_wolf I know, I just don't get much of an opportunity to say things like this lol Btw, I think I like magic undead better. There is just something far more dangerous and threatening about it.

Guess a skeleton can still vibrate its bones together to make an audible sound. When it's moving with magic, anything is possible.

@@davidmcgill1000 That would be more of a clickity-clackity sound than a hoarse growling sound, but with magic, might as well give it a voice.

If someone was a notorious killer I wouldn't want to piss him off

@@silverhand9965 you aren't a daggerfall villager either

"Tell you where the nearest shop is? I'd rather die!"

@@agihammerthief8953 See, but what ya guys are missing is that this isn't just a guy who murdered three people, he's also the guy who got immediately arrested, and surrendered to the guards without a fight. Not exactly the kind of murderer who would be feared. The locals probably trust the guards (the same ones on their way to arrest him) to protect them.

@@agihammerthief8953 I mean, dude's a melee build with only 8 hp. Just because he's gotten a few surprise kills on some people doesn't mean he's an actual threat.

This is like the opposite of Skyrim's stealth archer problem lol

Daggerfall Stealth is just sprinting everywhere with True Invisibility and smashing everything with a daedric weapon

I don't think Stealth is actually possible in Daggerfall. Sure, you may occasionally find a lone thief or knight and get a backstab, but chances are your backstab won't kill them and they'll start fighting you. And don't even try with liches. So you might as well fight everything normally.

@@erinzaharris2162 like fucking vinnie?.

@@walnzell9328 Interesting fun story. My last Daggerfall playthrough was as an unarmed monk with skills basically in unarmed, languages, and mobility skills. Due to the languages pacifying opponents, I would run up behind them and punch them in the back. This had two unintended effects: my backstab skill, and my stealth skill both shot through the roof extremely quickly, and were soon maxed out despite starting at 5 and not training them whatsoever. Even the enemies that I did not pacify were completely oblivious to my presence and I was able to *sprint* around the dungeon while backstabbing basically everyone. No crouch, no slow movement, my 95 stealth meant I zipped around and backstabbed with nobody noticing me. My monk/diplomat character (accidentally) power-leveled assassin skills much faster than an actual dedicated assassin character would. Sneak is actually powerful in Daggerfall, as are the languages. A takeaway - I think that standing behind an enemy with their back to you levels sneak much faster than crouch sneaking around slowly like in later titles. People frustrated that sneak seems worthless are half right - it is, if you play it Skyrim style. Even if you don't have language skills or use calm, I bet your stealth will rise faster if you sprint toward an enemy with his back turned than doing stealth archer meme shit like it's a later title.

There aren't any citizens out at night, but sure you can probably make the sound play coming out of nowhere.

@@Thor.Jorgensen I was just thinking a disembodied voice in the same vein as Donny from Trailer Park Boys

Lol how about a mod where the guards think you are making the noise because you're the only living person outside, and they arrest you, because they don't believe in ghosts. We could call it Guards Are Skeptics or something

@@Mephilis78 Doesn't make sense as that starts to happen before you even set a foot on Daggerfall.

@@shadowmystery5613 the guards are skeptics though. For all they know you've been hiding in the dark for months yelling vengeance, and they just finally found you. It's not like you have a customs agent record your time of arrival or anything.

that's what she said

@@donutlovingwerewolf8837 he*

@@KingTFD r/wooosh

@@donutlovingwerewolf8837 that was not a woosh, they were implying they’re fucking dudes not chicks

Short blade also gives you a free lifted Ford F-150 mount and the road rage perk.

@TallDryGlass Bah, that’s nothing lad! When I arrived at my first town in Daggerfall, I accidentally murdered an innocent persoon with a misclick, in broad daylight. I pleaded not guilty in court, somehow managed to convince the court of my innocence, despite crowds of witnesses and was released. Later, however, the guards arrested me for “criminal conspiracy”, which basically meant I looked kinda dodgy and whatever crime was going in was probably my fault. I pleaded not guilty again and despite the fact that I actually wasn’t this time, I was still arrested and sent to prison. Beautiful game.

Yup, especially with quest npcs not spawning.

@@hayato1886 Are you running DFU with mods that add/retexture sprites? It can tend to make them occasionally bug out and be invisible but theyre still interactable if you click on where theyre supposed to be. At least the game takes 20 seconds to close and restart to fix it lol

@@user-qj9ye1uv8g No I haven't had that issue at all with unity. I'm talking about normal Daggerfall. I had that happen with the npc who's supposed to meet you for the Empire side of the main story and a few side quest npcs

@@hayato1886 Makes sense if its the original then lol. Strangely enough I never had that issue or ran into any bugs even on one of the older unpatched versions, but then only after patching it the game or save broke completely which pushed me to unity.

@@user-qj9ye1uv8g Yeah encountering those bugs made me move to unity as well. I haven't looked back since, unities awesome

IIRC Todd was actually one of the guys responsible for choosing creature sounds and may have been the one who chose the skeleton's scream.

Honestly I love coming across skeletons, theres something that became comforting about hearing that 135db scream and getting into a long fight with them (when youre not op yet). Cant stand scorpions on the other hand just because they look particularily nasty and vomit colored

@@user-qj9ye1uv8g also, paralysis

"Vengeance!!!!"

I licensed the sound library the skeleton scream comes from. Just so I can constantly use it for any and all skeletons in my personal projects.

Better call dovah run

That's apparently not even a guard. That's straight up Ocato the elf counselor.

That is the imperial battlemage and chanceller Ocato.

Unity lets you pacify guards with the Ettique skill, so it is viable. "HALT!" "Sorry, my good man, but as you may see I am trying to rob this establishment. Could you keep it down? Your 'halt'ing might wake the residents." "Oh, sorry. Carry on."

yes and better with mods

Honestly I just wanna tell him he can have more than 8 hp for his melee build...

@@dantallionmccrews3822 haha agreed! Push that sucker up to 30

Thanks g

don’t get the one on steam and you don’t need any mods. Get the unity version! then you can mod if you want but the game is perfectly playable without mods!!

@@raphaelmckerley5912 you need data files. which the steam version has

Daggerfall has been free for years! Its been on the Bethesda website for a while

@@Jonoth aye but its nice and convenient to have it in your steam library and auto run it. Instead of having to boot up dosbox and type all the commands.

it really shows he has no clue how to daggerfall, didnt even set up advantages too, but its pain....i mean fun to watch

@@andrzejwysocki609 I find watching it... nostalgic. Every Daggerfall fan has gone through that stage where we had no idea what we were doing and kept screwing ourself of the character creation screen. Takes me back to that time.

@@dantallionmccrews3822 i did lots of reading up before i made my first DF character, beat the game with him..but navigating the main quest dungeons...that...is another story, the pain! the HORROR!

Ooooh, the boat is now finished But there's still something on the wish-list To keep us all going through the wind and the rain. There's no food on the table And we can't sail unless we're able So we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some grain. eidle eidle eee eidle eidle eee we simply can't leave until we get some grain. Therrrre's no food on the table And we can't sail unless we're able So we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some grain.

Is that wales national anthem or something?

@@GarkKahn please go watch his black and white video. You won’t be disappointed

Or the engine

I'd recommend Daggerfall Unity, the vanilla version is just a straight downgrade

@@thatrandomcrit5823 ^^^ he speaks truth.

^ And if you really want to play the DOS version then installing the latest patches would be a good idea

@@user-qj9ye1uv8g and if you do play dosbox version, for the love of God enable modern controls

@@ThePowergloveNinja how do you do that? I've only played about 5 min of the game cuz the controls were terrible but it looks so fun

Nah dude it's Chad Smith

@@MickyD Holy shit!

And people complain about Morrowind being difficult in the beginning.

@@Kaftan morrowind is harder imo, you can make some OP daggerfall builds, like the spell absorb mage who just fireballs their feet for never ending spells, weee

Oh, I'm in the USA.

Halt!

I love it.
