  • A clip from my Daggefall Live-Stream series. People harken back to "See that Mountain? You can climb it!" comment from Todd Howard. Daggerfall was made before his time. Even though I'm playing a heavily modded version of the game, this mountain exists in the Vanilla game if you go to the same location. Gotta admit it's a sharp contrast to the mainly flat lands that most of Daggerfall is made out of. Also turns out this one is too steep to walk up, we had to use the climb skill the rest of the way.

      I guess, the devs removed a lot of skills linked with movement (athletics, acrobatics, climbing etc) because it was easy to abuse the system and get max skills just by running in circles or climbing the same wall for several hours (or they suffer from severe Alzheimer's and can't incorporate features they used in previous game).
      Unfortunately, Bethesda uses shitty skill system that consists only of weakpoints and bugs and promotes using any stupid decision possible 24/7 to level it up.

      Hate to burst your bubble there, but original Daggerfall had flat terrains. At best you would get some bumps on the ground, simulating rocky terrains but there were no actual mountains or height difference.
      It was supposed to tho, iirc you can still find unfinished code for that but it was eventually scrapped like a lot of things because of small available development time (also the game's size was already super massive for that time).
      What you see is a highly modded version of Daggerfall.
      I get ya tho, lots of Daggerfall keeps getting better as technology advances, which shows just how dashing and advanced this game was. No other RPG got that far.

    Wow, I built the world for the game and I didn't know a mountain (or two) like this existed in the game. Its caused by a mistake in the height map that the terrain generator used. The height map was made by hand so its likely this block was missed in the process. I'm thinking its a map border issue since its right next to where one would be drawn and is set to max height (0xFF) unlike the surrounding areas. And yes, it could have used a town or dungeon at the top. Thanks for the video!

    When you brought out the Ring of Levitation, that was rather mind blowing for me. Because I grew up in an era where Game Devs will do everything within their godly power to prevent you from getting off the ground, and if you do get off the ground (usually through the use of a glitch) you can use it to hop over the Invisible walls they used to railroad you and break the game. Games these days have so much more room for 3-dimensional level design (You're pretty much not restricted at all!) yet 99% of the time you're stuck being a bottom feeder crawling along the ground, and if there is so much as a waist-high fence between you and where you want to go, you're trapped on this side of the railroad.

      @Wuanslm but it's a scale that it's almost insane , not as normal as the rest of the games to be compared , these big maps fit better on WoW games or FF games , elder scrolls are just fine with Skyrim scale

      @@AbstractTraitorHero but that's exactly what would make a game marketable. Cmon bro. Its ok to like an older game. Just don't try to put another game under it because of your rose colored nostalgia glasses. Im watching this guy play the game and it looks like a huge, empty space. Tedious if anything really.
