      Anyway
      Now for Elder Scrolls 6 for me all I ask is that they hand craft about 60% of the map and RNG the other 40% for grinding out unimportant dungeons for loot and exploring the wilderness whenever you feel like it. Honestly looking at Skyrim and Oblivions map about those ratios were RNGd just not in real time lol. As well as giving us back options they kept out of oblivion and Skyrim (ignoring Morrowind for it's circumstances here) for the sake of making the games a bit more accessible.

    The story of Daggerfall is probably the most important story in all of TES. Pretty much explains how Mannimarco becomes the Necromancer's moon and deals with the creation of Talos as a divine. Before this game there was no Talos and it was only 8 Divines. If this game's plot didn't happen there wouldn't even be a Civil war in Skyrim as Talos as a divine wouldn't exist and would have simply have just been the famous Tiber Septim just an ordinary man who just happened to be very skilled.

    Games back then also came with HUGE manuals that were NOT OPTIONAL to read.

I started gaming in the late 90s as a child but I still remember the N64 manuals having loads of info but being not as necessary; good thing because we got most from second hand stores.

    I agree with the parallelism between Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul and Daggerfall Unity GOG Cut. Both are very easy to install but both have always been really unpolished. Still, MGSO was crucial to me, because it's basically what sparked my passion in modding Morrowind, showing me how beautiful it can become.

    I remember the starting dungeon being so deviously difficult and unpredictable. Like when you rest there is a small random chance that a spectre or wraith will spawn and kill you upon you waking up, because you couldn't kill it with your pathetic starting stats and equipment. But I loved it because it felt like you really were in a dangerous world that you couldn't control or plough through like on a guided tour. You had to become a survivor in the truest sense of the word, and that was part of the game's charm.

    Thanks for the updated video! One thing Ive noticed is that you mapped the Torch on the hotkey bar. Thats not needed. You are using Torch Indicator mod - so when u equip a torch, its sprite appears above the Compass. That mod has its own hotkey, which you can set at the mod settings. So you can for example set it to Mouse Button 5 and enable torch with clicking that mouse button at your thumb. It will save you one spot at the hotkey bar, and its just better this way.

    Just started playing yesterday, already sunk 10 hours into it.
    story: there's basically three types of quests.
    3 - roaming quests, you can just talk to any npc and ask for work and they'll tell you who has side quests available. why does no other RPG do this!?
    2 - Guild Quests. and with the Expanded Quests mod there's so many of them and with quest list on you can pick which you wanna do. very easy to keep track of.
    1 - Main Storylines. you get mail that three kingdoms need your help but one is on a timer, so you take that one first. and you have all the time in the world to do the rest, so it doesn't become overwhelming, just make sure not to pick up too many quests
    side note, i went to daggerfall immediately and got a endgame dungeon with a 150 day timelimit. that's a little stupid, but they probably expected you to visit the closest city and not just immediately go to daggerfall before getting told about it. i just reloaded a save before i accepted the quest. (for every old school game, save early save often!)
    i generally don't like quests with timers. but it forces you to be more picky with what quests you pick up, and keeps a clean quest log, which i like.
    gameplay loop: the dungeons are 3x as big as they really needed to be, if you like exploration, you can spend hours in one cave checking the map if you missed hidden doors.
    And that's basically it, you get quests and explore dungeons. there aren't any dialogue trees, the combat is a dice game, there isn't any emergent gameplay.
    It's so strange seeing what elder scrolls is like when you peel off all the other layers. and have a flat city of easily findable quests, that are easy to follow once you know how the map works.
    The game might be a bit too simplistic for my likes, but i'll probably finish it just to see the story. i heard it's pretty important for the world of Elder Scrolls.
    top tips: when making a character
    get the Dai-katana, it is simply the highest damage weapon in the game.
    get the ebony dagger, otherwise you will have to punch magic creatures to death.

    "You can spend hours in the first dungeon being lost". Actually someone at Bethesda thought of that too, possibly right before they finished packaging, because way back then I borrowed my copy from the library, and it included an official guide on getting out of the first dungeon. They just explained everything you had to do, including that if you would just hurry up you didn't actually need to kill the imp.

    • @GamerZakh
      @GamerZakh  3 місяці тому +1

      By 'original' I meant the default original experience. As in, you boot up the game and it's what you have as your first encounter. And I accidentally conflated 'click' for a keypress as well. It doesn't help that the hotkey page of the manual doesn't mention ALT and you have to read carefully to not miss the part about the 2 different look around settings.
      Fun fact, there are 2 versions of the Daggerfall manual. First printed when Bethesda was under Media Technology Limited then a second Zenimax version. In the second version, a new line was added to the manual. They added:
      "Hundreds of hours of beta testing by the Bethesda Softworks staff has determined that the best interface for Daggerfall is the View Based interface, not the cursor based interface used by Arena." - That wasn't there in the original manual, it only became a standard later on and you still had to manually switch to it, but actually telling players to switch was a later thing.

    Back when Daggerfall was released on Dos back in the 90s the people who played the game were a very decentralized group, I in fact knew nobody else outside of my friend group who played daggerfall much less knew of it.
    It's amazing to see that this game has not been lost to the sands of time, and that a community has rallied around it and that it is getting well deserved upgrades and care. I spent hundreds of lonely hours playing this game in my teens, it was a portal to another world whenever I wanted to go there.
    I always thought there was something special about it and now more people than its original reach are seeing it in it's full glory.

This tripped me up for some reason.

But so much of the behind the scenes mechanics were still some of the best and most immersive games I have played to date. I wish they built more games that used most of these mechanics and improve upon them for future elder scrolls. Add more survival mechanics maybe.
    I remember joining guilds felt meaningful and skills felt like impactful decisions. While had such great difficulty for survival and the dungeons, even though were repetitive , felt very good for exploration. Towns were the first that felt lived in. Such a great game.
