Only elder scrolls game I played where I became a flying, lightning slinging werewolf lizard man god instead of a stealth archer
Funny, Daggerfall is where I started playing as a stealth archer...
Oh the first elder scrolls game i played was morrowind
Actually, in Morrowind, you're mostly the stealth flying lightning slinging werewolf lizard god type too, not the stealth archer type.
Greatest game possibility, but before it's time and buggier than hell.
All builds lead to stealth archer. It's only a matter of time.
I loved the character creation in this one, I don't know why they didn't bring the weakness/advantage system back for the sequels.
As many people have pointed out with TES, it's the dumbing-down to get a larger audience.
*****
I think Daggerfall has the best character creation out of all TES games. But Skyrim has the best options when creating your character's appearance. The people and beast-folk in un-modded Oblivion are just ugly (they look better even in Morrowind and Daggerfall...) and they can't even grow a beard!
I just wish the more modern TES games had the same character creation as Daggerfall... except with Skyrim's appearance creation. Choosing a head sprite didn't really bother in Daggerfall but in modern TES games choosing a head wouldn't be very good... Ha ha.
Ikr?? Surprisingly how newer games in the series became not as in depth with some things. Like at least they should have brought back the court system. But it definitely would have been interesting if the class creation was this in depth for the newer games. As awesome as it will turn out anyway I really hope the upcoming elder scrolls VI has the best of the old and new games
Agreed. Though, to be fair, you could really cheap out with it.
Well you could create very overpowered builds, I had spells that would last 24 hours that gave me levitation and invulnerability and I flew over towns and just firebombed everyone laughing like a mini god.
Recently bought TES Anthology, and in my excitement I accidentally ripped one of the maps that come with it... I have never swung from orgasmic happiness to universe-hating despair so quickly in my entire life.
Woah. That's heavy. That's like... I dunno, getting a hot dog and realizing they put ketchup in it without asking.
UnclePutte Yes! I know! Finally, somebody who understands my plight.
I bought mine recently too, I haven't damaged anything yet thank god. But man I wish I had that original box set, Daggerfall is my favourite game ever (have only played it and Skyrim up until now)
darkdave1998 I know! That holofoil skeleton dude on the front is so badass. It's no surprise that it's a rare collector's item nowadays.
I know how you feel.
Hey... Hey lgr... It's about that time again. Arena was 4 years ago, Daggerfall is now 2 years. It's that time again. Please make morrowind.
Morrowind won't be for a while yet.
Redguard is next on the Elder Scrolls agenda!
Well, hurry up ya dingus
Lazy Game Reviews Can't wait for the video, I love your reviews!
Marshmellow Madness
it has been done
"somewhere enough daggers have fallen for someone to take notice and made a game out of it" lmfao! xD
I was eating pizza while watching this and I almost choked to death because of the laughter!
Always glad to hear one of my absurd jokes connect :)
Lazy Game Reviews Daggerfall is actually free on Bethesda's website now :)
Damien Mohammed One of the best jokes ever
Django Unplayed I agree not really that funny
You must be easy to make laugh
Back in the day this seemed to be the biggest leap in gaming ever. As you say the options were amazing, the open feel was completely revolutionary as was the ability to build the character you want, your way.
Loved the sounds too, used to feel genuinely 'on edge' when among the bat noises I could hear a Lich. :)
Great memories.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........scary shit.
Apparently the team that made Daggerfall is currently developing a (likely spiritual) successor to the game. They are supposed to be in the planning phase right now and there is no release date but I'm excited to see a game like this again
was this just a lie XD
@@user-ng2lk5wv4p Don't even remember where I read that, but considering two years later I've heard no word, am guessing it was (or shit just got majorly complicated)
@@dusty2080 rip
@@user-ng2lk5wv4p The Wayward Realms is still under development, it seems, it's just been delayed a lot
Daggerfall is my favourite game ever. I don't think I've ever seen such a complete RPG: you can really do anything you want, join thousands of interesting factions, become an important member of them, and much more. I just can't stop playing it: from time to time I pick up a save game and do random stuff or start a new game and everytime is as fun as the first time. And of course the storyline, the cities, the factions, the divinities, everything is full of details, in classic Bethesda style: you can learn facts about the world and its inhabitants by reading books in libraries and guilds, talking to every NPC in towns (you can basically ask them whatever) and so on. This care for details is what makes The Elder Scrolls series the best RPG series ever and Bethesda the greatest game makers in the world. And among these five pearls, I couldn't think of a better chapter than Daggerfall; moreover, it requires less than 1GB and can be run on any computer nowadays. What else do you want? ;)
HOLY MOTHER OF TALOS.. YOU SIR ARE AMAZING.
Seriously awesome narration.
I just smile,laugh,stunned, and amazed while watching this..
I am looking forward for more awesome video like this.
And thank u for showing us that Gorgeous shinny daggerfall cover and it's content.
I must subscribed.
Thank you, I hope you find more to enjoy in my channel!
I still cant believe its the largest world map created. So crazy.
I saw a dollar sign in front of that spell name, you cheater mcCheaterson!
This devoured so much of my childhood. I really wish they'd make an HD remix of this...and I *really* wish I still had my copy of The Daggerfall Chronicles (I think that's what it was called). That strategy guide had so much lore, and all the really in-depth formulas for every little thing. Oh, my nostalgia goggles are fogging up.
You should checkout dfworkshop.net, we're making good progress on Daggerfall Unity. :-)
IMO, a Booty Call and a Call to Action are the same thing. 😁
The box of daggerfall is fucking gorgeous. It kinda makes me wanna send Simply Nailogical one .
Imagine if you could still find people still doing let's plays on games like this. The golden era of video games
0:43 dam that has got to be the coolest game box I have ever seen.
I think this was the first LGR video I ever watched. My life changed for the better that day. At least, this is the first one I remember watching. Might also have been the Apple ][GS review, as well.
I tried to play Daggerfall. It was such a pain in the ass to figure out the controls, to get used to the combat, mobility, UI, and such. I managed to get out of the dungeon and get to a town. As soon as I got to the town, I pretty much immediately gave up after having a few conversations with people and gazing over the confusing mess of blocky buildings and clone sprite people running around. I just can't do it. I'm a spoiled gamer, I don't have the time to get used to this system.
One thing I really liked was how different people each have their own reactions to your etiquette. I asked a random guy politely about the location of a certain store, he said he didn't like my type and to fuck off. I asked again, but this time I was nasty and threatening, and he said it was over near so-and-so, and that I seemed like a swell guy.
Larry Koopa Yeah... I did that.
But dated is dated.
If you read the full comment, I did eventually get used to the controls, and only then gave up after I got to the first town.
It's not that the game wasn't amazing at the time, and still technically impressive now. It's that, even disregarding the self-admitted-issues, (also self-admitted-by-the-designers) the game is just dated in general. No one had the tools, resources, and the knowledge to make a game of that scale more approachable or convenient.
All true. The only thing I can think of to improve your experience in the future is to play on a smaller screen or shrink the ratio so you have a black box displayed around the smaller game screen area.. The text will be smaller, but on todays monitors will still be sharp. Not a perfect fix, but old low pixel count games look awful on screens 17" and above. You probably won't be back to daggerfall, but give it a go on other games you try. This will only make the confusing messes slightly better there are obviously other issues. Maybe it's just not your thing as everything is a bit too outdated to be fun, at least you gave it a go and found out for yourself that you're not interested.
Ik this was 3 years ago, but daggerfall unity is coming along nicely. It's a fan remake
i wonder if dead juice really found the modern standard first person controls in the options menu or simply got used to the lame arena controls
Give it some more time to get used to. It really is a delightful game with all the bug fixes added
I just played it for the first time, using Daggerfall Unity and the D.R.E.A.M mod that makes it looks more modern. Definitely worth playing, although I mostly see it as a dungeon crawler with some cool extra fluff
For reference, 62,394 square miles is an area larger than England and Wales, or slightly bigger than Georgia state.
For memes, that's about 40 Rhode Islands.
@LGR You should try Daggerfall Unity mod it makes great game even better!
6:29 is that a zweihander? Giant Dad is proud 😂
4:09 well that's one way to roast a marshmallow... you're burning it buddy!
Even though I was the right age for the earlist ES-games I never played them. In fact, the first ES-game I played (and even heard of) was Oblivion. I was completely overwhelmed of the fact that you could run around in an entire made-up land and just do whatever you wanted and everyone could be looted for all their gear. The graphics were beautiful and the soundtrack was absolutely stunning. I was hooked. That being said, Skyrim still is the very best overall game for me, even though many of the quests in Oblivion were more interesting (and Oblivion's character creation part and skill system was far better being way more detailed). I remember the first time I saw a giant roaming about outside Whiterun and then, later, dragons flying around. Fucking awesome!
The ''older'' LGR reviews are GOLD
Do you imagine that a game like this came out today? You could literlly play forever and never ever get bored or never feel it repetitive. You literally have endless possibilities
I never quite understood the meaning of buying food or drinks at the inns. "You are not hungry." *shrugs* . It is in fact a very compelling game, despite of its bugs and clumsiness.
man I loved this game and loved the music. I wish they'd remake it. I was never super into how terribly randomly generated it was, but that was a new thing at the time. Now it seems like everything is randomly generated.
I still can't believe that they just put the original game and a copy of DOSbox in The Elder Scrolls Anthology...
"the king of the Daggerfall province [...] has a miner problem... he's dead."
yeah I could tell that can be really annoying when it happens.
This game looks awesome i actually want to try it
It is really awesome! 😃
Daggerfall Unity is amazing and easy to mod and the graphics are amazing
perfect place to put your all foil Might and Magic deck
Reminder that ES games have never been "good" but the game's adventurous vibe makes up for the okay-enough gameplay
I've played an hour of this, but never touched Skyrim. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, OHMAHGAWD THE HOLO BOX.
If you play the later games, you will probably be disappointed by the size, skills, and what there is to do.
Blade312
I've played Oblivion and thought it had a well sized world.
***** I don't believe you're 33 with that spelling.

Skyrim is a downgrade comparing to other TES games. It really doesn't deserve all those 10/10s. 8/10 yeah, 9/10 arguably but 10/10? Gotta be kiddin'.
Elder scrolls scrolls series for me:
1: unplayable
2: EPIC!!!
3: EPIC!!!
4: meh
5: EPIC!!!
onurubu You will regret it calling Oblivion "meh"
I liked it and played it for a long time and still play it to this day (mostly because i haven't finished it) but it didn't get me like the other ones did, you know?
onurubu I agree with Oblivion being "meh" if we're talking about the base game. With the right mods, however, it's the best game in the series. Of course, that's more of a compliment to the modding community and not to the game itself.
Logan Palmer I see what you are saying but the mod argument can be used for any of the elder scrolls games
onurubu Shivering Isles was quite the trip :D
The holographic box makes up for everything
Only two genders - Triggered!
Daniel Dukai That is the fact of reality. there is only two genders.
I acually have the ES Anthology, and yes, it looks cool on my desk ;) haven't played Daggerfall though, I've been busy finishing the DLC for Skyrim that came with it. I did install it though and it works perfectly on my windows 7 PC. I might just give it a try soon.
Hey I just have a question. I see in Arena and Daggerfall your character class is something that will largely and irreversibly affect you throughout the entire game. Now if I chose to be a Battlemage, can I still join and complete Thieves Guild and Fighter's guild questlines?
Nice review by the way. Back in Arena I just couldn't be bothered by all the negatives that you brought up, so that review seemed a bit more negative to me than how I experienced the game myself, but here I agree more. The 3D map can be annoying, etc.
I kinda miss the physical copies of PC games the box art for this game is pretty impressive.
One of my favorite games Daggerfall
if they made all elderscrolls prior to oblivion have the same graphics and gameplay controls as oblivion i would go on a three year binge playing all the elder scrolls games
Great review!
in case you want to play it, find daggerfall unity. it's a complete overhaul that makes the game much more approachable.
I would literally kill for a game like that in 2017
CanadianGuy why commit murder when this game is free on Bethesdas website? If you mean the breadth of scope within the shell of a modern game, it will never happen. Pretty graphics take up too much time and space for that large of an environment to be possible anymore. Morrowind is the closest we'll get, and that's just one small province. Plus Bethesda realized people don't actually buy role playing games so they made them casual.
YJZep youre absolutely right but it could be doable if the worlds are still basics 3d and bunch of sprites all we would have to do is use higher quality sprites and artwork and the game could still look decent enough while being large scale..
CanadianGuy and it wouldnt sell. Too broad means no voice acting. Bethesda makes way too much money with pretty RPG lites, and Todd Howard thinks himself better than say Obsidian, so that will never happen again. (btw fallout NV is the best bethesda game since morrowind, and they didn't make it lol)
As far as an indie, it's too daunting of a task technologically. No kickstarter has come to fruition regarding large open world rpgs, tho Ive seen tons.
YJZep youre right dude, i also think fallout NV was my favorite one and that fallout4 was absolute trash but no one seems to agree with me... im pretty sure the new elder scroll title will be just like fallout 4 more action oriented than rpg and casual for mainstream audiences, its lame.
Will you review Daggerfall Unity?
The game is free on Bethesda's website you'll need dosbox to run it however
word of advice get ther recall spell so you dont have to backtrack out of the dungeons
That box art is metal as fuck!
Man, I miss those days. I was maybe 8 or 9 when I was opening dos games, installing, & simply enjoying all the stuff in the box. Was great as well.
I forgot the context how I got this game in the early 90's but, my friend and I started to play it.. once I got out of the first dungeon.. and I couldn't find bounds (GROUNDBREAKING). I had no idea the scope of this game, then I welcomed myself to my new obsession. Climbing, flying, breaking into shops at night. I burnt the edges of the manual, and took it with me everywhere. Yes, Yes I was obsessed. Something happened where I found a note in this game, and it KNEW my actual name! My friend and I looked at each other. (WTF!!!????) This game is magical, one of my all time favorites. I've beaten SOOOO many games in my lifetime, but I refuse to beat ANY TES games, because I have absolute respect for them, yet I play them the most. TES 6 in VR, Im waiting for you.
You know, I just realized that Daggerfall holds the distinction of being the only Elderscrolls game where you don't start-out as a prisoner.
+WhiteTigerShiro You are a prisioner of nature, since you get trapped in a cave.
also, daggerfall had LADDERS?!? So, the game engine went backwards since FO3, NV and skyrim doens't have any?
+megaed99
Not really, as you can just click the ladders to climb them.
Lucas Cunha Rocha I suppose, but that's reaching and we both know it. =P
***** I know, I'm just saying that it doesn't have to be a chore. :-)
Been a while since I played, but I seem to recall climbing being important to beat the main story mission, too.
Fun fact: you never see a dagger falling in the whole game.
I can't believe Bethesda would lie to us like that, smh and crying into my Todd Howard plushie
TODD IS A HACK
It’s called daggerfall cause of the heavy rain i think
Cool thing about Daggerfall is that you can control it like a modern first person game, instead of using that oldschool style. Keyboard is fully mappable, and it has mouse-look! Full-screen too, you can turn off that massive bar with the icons at the bottom.
kinda annoyed me that he played it like it's arena lol. with less than a minute's setup you can make it look and control like morrowind does, with modern controls and mouse-look like you said.
Yeah it was frustrating seeing him use the clunky controls.
@@MultiCheeseLouise What if he prefers the old-school style for Daggerfall, or just wanted to use it this time?
@@TristenSarelvun it’s slower and more difficulty to use, as well as less precise. The only reason you use it in arena is because you have to. Why would you want to make a game harder to control?
So happy you're going over TES series! I hope you don't skip battlespire, redguard, and the 3 mobil travels games!
What are the mobile games?
Iivaitte Your thinking before the legendary skills added the game allows you to achieve every perk in the game thus doing everything at level 252.
slash rocks I wasn't talking about skyrim, and besides that was added in a later patch for those avid completionsts. Honestly I think being able to master everything means there is nothing special about your character. What I meant to say was more like, you shouldn't be able to max everything. The game wasn't designed to balance that.
Iivaitte What game are you referring to I responded to a person talking about skyrim. Even Morrowind and Oblivion you can max every skill out you had an auto perk ever 25. The only ones that you couldn’t achieve everything were Arena, Daggerfall and Battlespire. I agree you shouldn't be able to do everything in a game there needs to be limits. I would prefer a more traditional approach on Tes witch was basically the old school D&D classes.
***** Interesting I'm not aware of that bug so your telling me you can pick a barbarian yet somehow cast all magic,use every skill available, use any weapon and armor.

shutup! its a family name.
HAIL, MY EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!
This box... Is *Magnificent*
Even back then Bethesda was known for it's glitches? It seems they've kept the tradition.
Yes indeed, it really is the Bethesda Way™
What one would almost expect with a game of this proportions. :)
flatshade Absolutely, and it pays off in a way! There's a reason their games can get away with being so buggy.
i have only played daggerfall and morrowind and i must say that daggerfall was *way* buggier than morrowind
Except they actually released a comprehensive patch rather than letting the mod slaves do it for them.
I never played Daggerfall until it was released for free in 2009. Within two weeks, it received the honour of the first (and to date, only) game I had ever deleted from my hard drive because it was completely consuming my life. I'd played Morrowind, WoW, Baldur's Gate, Civ, Heroes of Might and Magic... none of them could suck me in quite like this game. Which is weird, because overall, I prefer all those games to Daggerfall. But there was just something magical about it. No RPG before or since has ever been quite able to convey that feeling of a massive world that you are just a small part of. You could travel around a lot and get lost in a sea of towns, taverns, and guildhalls, or you could settle down. Pick a town and make it your home. Become intimately acquainted with its shops and inns, get to know the surrounding towns, and one day, wake up and realize that there are thousands of other towns throughout the game.
Lol you gotta give it another go. Such a delightful game with all the bug fixes added
I played it lot at 90's and experience still unmatched, I think it would be perfect game to revisit with VR
You did a great job of describing the feeling that Daggerfall provides!
Loved Morrowind. Completed the whole game pkus 2 add-ons 3x or more. Loved Daggerfall. Now it's Subnatica and GTA 5.
Daggerfall really is in a league of its own. Nowadays, we have a lot of sandbox RPGs to choose from, but nothing really compares to this.
You played the game without the camera controls? You poor, poor thing.
I played for the first 4-5 hours not realizing you could change camera modes. It's not as bad as you think, you really get used to it.
Sony Pony Gaming I know, but I feel the camera controls are superior for all non-pure mage builds.
Derpy Dude
It's okay, Daggerfall is awesome, but complicated as f***!
+Jack Stoutamore fuck*
How do I learn this power? Or is it just binding the keys to turn and look up and down? Because that's really annoying for some reason.
Hey LGR, are you on the Morrowind or the Daggerfall train?
I'm partial to Daggerfall myself, but I can't deny that Morrowind greatly improves the controls and interactivity of the game.
The two best games!!!
daggerfall is superior
@@victorkreig6089 you N'wah
I love pretty much every elder scrolls game. Love when fans can come together to appreciate this amazing game series.
@@generalgrievous2438 which do you love the most?
every other RPG: GOTTA DO THAT MAIN QUEST
players: OK!
TES game: Emperor sends you to fulfil prophesy and destiny
players: nah fuck that I'm buying a house and robbing people
Buying a house BY robbing people ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I've played Daggerfall. Game is REALLY hardcore in it's RPG elements. I mean, it ain't Dwarf Fortress but it's a very big game so a lot of it is pretty distracting. I can't imagine what poor soul bought this expecting something simplified like Skyrim or Oblivion and getting what they got.
@NPC# 8675309 Its still heavily simplified from Daggerfall, as was Morrowind.
I baught this not realizing how broken this game is, lol.
@NPC# 8675309 infinitely? No lol. Skyrim is the most stripped of the bunch obviously, but it doesn't take much to understand Oblivion either.
@NPC# 8675309 unfortunately that's not gonna happen. Anything close to the complexity of daggerfall is gonna come from indie developers. Sadly, I predict the next elder scrolls to be more streamlined than ever.
The older games are such a shit fuck of a boring mess
If you hate gaining levels and love masochism, create your own custom Linguist class in Daggerfall! There are so many languages to choose from to fill up all your primary and secondary skill slots. And the best thing about the language skills is that not only are they almost impossible to get better at, but they're also practically useless for any sort of combat, quest completion, or money making tasks!
Ah, yes, making all of the enemies in a dungeon comprised of Harpies and Orcs nonhostile wouldn't help anything, for sure.
Milo Thatch be like
Me as a 12 year old:
Made a Khajiit magical boxer who could use no armour or weapons.
Immediately spent the rest of the game accruing and only wearing Khajiit suits, munchkin-ing magical buffs and punching ancient vampires to re-death.
Became a thief wanted in every other kingdom after abandoning & time-outing the main quest and going on High Rock-wide burglary and rampant spree-killings.
2 years later still playing that character and kept the same old PC as a dedicated 'Daggerfall machine'.
"This is amazing."
Get daggerfall unity fixes most stuff,free,and mod that marks in-game your targets in dungeon (some are impossible to get though😟)
Daggerfall was the fuckin best game to be a thief eva
Old man: it dangerous to go alone here take this.
*Shows an empty palm*
Khajiit: I can work with this.
@@mikekazz5353 Khajiit: Now gimme your wallet.
@@StarlightEater why is being a thief in it good? Planning to give the gamw a go
While it will always be a matter of opinion which ES game is best, you can't deny that Daggerfall was way ahead of it's time, and one of the best roleplaying games ever made.
If you think that making a game where all you do is travel around from boring filler content city to boring filler content city with *_some snow particle effects_* added in is a great game, then I guess so
It was a fricking DOS RPG. In that time games like Lemmings and pac-man were considered to be top-tier games. How can you say it was not ahead of its time ..
LosEagle it wasn't ahead of its time. I don't see anyone else using RNG to make a huge, empty and soulless RPG setting.
Oh wait, no man's sky.
Maybe I went too far saying it was 'one of the best roleplaying games of all time,' having just finished a playthrough of it for the first time in over a decade, but I stand by 'ahead of it's time.' It had a great skill system, an interesting main quest, massive and challenging dungeons, and a fully customizable spell system not seen anywhere else. I'll admit that the sidequests and towns were random and generic, and that the game was a bit too big for it's own good, but it was still a great game, especially for the year it was made.
I wish that we could get something like Daggerfall from a game engine like Skyrim.
you gonna need 64 GB of RAM, 10 TB of space, and at least 16 GB of graphic memory...
We're not that far from that, actually.
+Muhajir Eh, with procedural generation and correct use of LODing it shouldn't be too hard to get a "Skyfall" running solidly on even budget gaming rigs these days, though i would suspect your save file would balloon pretty fast if it wants to keep track of every which dungeon you've visited.
"procedural generation"... you remember No Man's Sky?
Not possible at the moment
4:25 "King of the Daggerfall Province" ..*adjusts nerd glasses* ahem actually the province is known as High Rock, Daggerfall is simply one of the city-states within it ahem
"AHCKCHUALLY"
Dav You tell em, Lenny
Thanks Ghost in a Jar, you always were good at understanding video game maps, lore and obscure comedy
+Tiber Maxson Wait, seriously? But isn't Daggerfall the capital of High Rock? I thought Lysandus (and later Gothryd) was both king of Daggerfall and High Rock.
Ahem *dies of ass cancer after watching your comment*

Bro. This took me back 20years. Like my mind was just raving in fantasy.
This review had a great script.
Thank you!
Lazy Game Reviews LGR make a video ( making of an LGR episode )
Leikjarinn I did one sorta like that! ruclips.net/video/cZUEoimYy6Q/видео.html
All of them do, that's why LGR is so great
It's kinda funny how Bethesda clearly lost or abandoned that retro styled "sexy fantasy world" aesthetic. All these bare chested muscle bound gladiator style warriors, and curvy skin showing ladies, vampires and such. Makes me think about all the "is/isn't lore lore friendly" arguments over Skyrim and Oblivion mods. The skimpy inclined crowd could start using the excuse, "It's lore friendly historically accurate armour, from the 3rd era, for your information." or such. Would be good for a laugh at least.
I liked this style. Both genders were dressed scantily clad, so it was fair.
looked dumb as hell thank god they abandoned it
@@BurkinaFaso69 Because RPG's are dumb, might as well have fun with them all the same.
@Knower-Liberty-Gamer1776 Horror was also a BIG influence on RPGs and games in general of this era. From Diablo's The Butcher to Hexen to Heretic to (obviously) Doom, I think that's one of the most missed and uncredited inspirations of 90's games, horror and "gorefest" stylistic touches.
And it is to me the missing secret sauce when occasionally a company tries to reboot these games as just your average modern 3D action game or RPG.
*cough cough* Caius Cosades *cough cough*
I played this game as a coop, I was walking and my friend was fighting with the mouse, than we switched... we did it like this for 3 months str8 untill we finished the game. He was basically living with my familly, we played at my house, sometimes my parrents got angry and expelled him. But we still found the ways to continue, even if it was sneaking my friend in so parrents dont know etc. Insanity I tell you. Utter insanity. I remember when we finished the main quest, we sat the character in a house he owned and quit the game. It was a role play masterpiece. I think I was 13 at those times.
4:13 "...emperor Urethra Scrotum has called you over to his place in the middle of the night", am I going mad or is that what you actually said?
No,he said Urethra Scrotum the seventh
I was really surprised by Daggerfall. I've been a fan of the series for years but I had never played it for some reason, and now I've had it 2 days and I've got 16 hours on it so far, and there is so sign of me needing to slow down. I haven't played Oblivion much, but I've played a lot of Morrowind, and a ton of Skyrim, and I adore those games, but Daggerfall I adore even more.
Playing Daggerfall for the first time on DOS was literally a life-defining moment for me lol. I don't think I'll ever stop playing the elder scrolls, even if they DO keep getting worse in new and fascinating ways.
Ive always loved how if you pick pocket the enemies in the first dungeon the thieves guild will often contact you before you can even travel somewhere else. they must have eyes everywhere, and also be really desperate for new recruits if they go after someone trying to pick pocket a giant bat
😂
I walked across the ENTIRE MAP in The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. It took 69 hours.
No surprise for me, since you're the forest Gump of virtual worlds 😂 - and I admire your bravery
@@senhorlampada Thanks!!
Nice...
Argh! I didn't know Daggerfall was procedural! I got stuck playing this game (fell into a water pit I could not climb out of) and I thought it glitched out on me, but now I know it can happen due to the level-maker fucking up. I should have just cheated.
Jonathan Szuhai Kinda why I get teleport asap. Possibly the most useful if not needed spell.
And always use a back up save slot for before you accept any side quest. Also if you use magic, the spells Water Walking and Water Breathing (Or a custom spell with both effects) are your friend
You could've used a levitate spell
Heh, i noticed you were struggling climbing the ladder. Press your use key (activate center object?) on it. Took me over a year of on and off playing to figure that out.
Lately, reading about the development of Arena and Daggerfall is just as fascinating as playing the games (been on a research kick recently). When development began on a sequel to Arena, Bethesda wanted to set the game in Morrowind. Yes, Morrowind. Due to technological limitations, the team switched to Daggerfall (well, the Iliac Bay region that includes the provinces of High Rock and Hammerfell).
The feature-creep got so bad that Bethesda basically told the team to get the finished. As such, several guilds were cut from the game (including prostitutes) and the team were unable to get hills and mountains working properly so the terrain is mostly flat in the final game. Daggerfall XL is attempting to put those features back.
Thanks for the info. That's definitely interesting.
Mountains thankfully actually exist, but they're way too large to see properly. There's two really tiny ones that are extreme easy to see though, one is in the Isle of Balferia and the other is west of Sentinel.
Oh man, this along with Morrowind are my two favourite Elder Scrolls games. Why? Because absolutely excellent story writing and world building. And the world world is important in that sentence. Because it feels like quite the believable world. Especially in Daggerfall were some cities are the size of the entire map of Skyrim.
Oh how I long for Bethesda to make another game of the scale of Daggerfall, but alas. They have gotten a taste for the money that simplifying every aspect of the game can get them. And so they will never take the risk that would be making a game as ambitious as Daggerfall was.
I hope you had a lot of fun replaying the game while doing your work to make this episode and didn't stumble upon too many game crashing bugs.
Yes, blame the guys for wanting money, they should do everything for free.
*****
I said scale, not size. With scale I mean that cities are as large as cities and not as small as the smallest township on the tiny island I live on.
The big thing is that going away from randomly generated content because it was felt everything looked the same hasn't actually done that. Because Skyrim, just like Just Cause was created with a toolset that has premade tileset elements that are used to quickly build levels.
As for impossible? We'll have to see how Kingdom Come: Deliverance pans out. They have billed themselves as being to scale. There is still some compression on the map between landmarks, but it isn't 99%
I hope the game is good and does well so as to put some competition in the open world first person franchise. But I have learned to keep my expectations low.
P.S.
Short swords are still in Skyrim, they just aren't a separate skill anymore like they were in Morrowind.
Oh boy, I remember being stuck at that one cave for half-a-year.
Skyrim can be altered and built upon with mods from the ground up. You can make your own Daggerfall within Skyrim.
Actually considering the vast size of Daggerfall you can not. It is simply too large for one man to do.
“Other than everything being the same, everything is different”
7:10 Give yourself higher agility in custom class and FOR GOD'S SAKE do NOT play it without using the mouse look! XD
The Daggerfall Unity overhaul makes this game amazing!
3:31 "Fartface Wang". Clint, I love your sense of humor.
Glad its brilliance is appreciated
Lo wang
Oh hey it's the porn guy.
Freako ok.
Lo wang indeed
"Emperor Urethra Scrotum." Dude, you're hilarious and I love your commentating, all through-out this game review. XD
I was in the Army at the time Arena came out. I saw it in the on base store and it looked interesting so I bought it. I really loved Arena and when I heard Daggerfall was coming out I was first in line to get it.
Well, I know that I'm arriving 6 years later but, you should try Daggerfall Unity! It makes a great difference playing this game!
'Like a horny dog it needed fixing' these kind of jokes are why I'm a subscriber to your channel mate.
You should take a look at Daggerfall Unity, it's everything Daggerfall should have been and more, it even has mod support which makes the game even better - my favorite being the airship mod.
I really like the idea of choosing your starting point in Tamriel. When playing games like ES I love creating my own backstory. Choosing which environment you start in would even further elevate that. It would be nice if ES6 went full throttle and did all of Tamriel bringing back the choose your starting point idea.
Always save before taking one of those randomly generated quests, which are sometimes b0rked. Get the recall spell and set the anchor at the dungeon exit.
Daggerfall is by far, the best TES game I have ever played. I love Morrowind and Oblivion to death, and Skyrim is amazingly satisfying to boot up for a few hours of romping around the mountains and looting dungeons, but none of those games provide the same level of open world, fantasy life like Daggerfall has for me. So many factions, so many reputations, skills, quests, dungeons, cities... just so much to do!
The combat has always been this series' weak point. At least they got rid of the mouse flailing for Morrowind, then the dice rolls in Oblivion. But it still isn't that great, I wish it was more tactical and less spammy.
It's not a combat simulator series. I actually enjoyed the combat in Daggerfall. And I don't really care about the combat in the more modern games, it's fine to me. I wish they would just focus on role-playing and not "awesome combat" and "dragons" and graphics and whatnot.
***** A simple edit in the construction set allows you to change how the fatigue system works in Morrowind/Oblivion. I always do that to replicate the fatigue system in DS.
Vinipooper br makes me wish Bethesda should try to do the formula of daggerfall for another game...a modern rpg with so much to do that it literally makes your brain hurt XD
mrbitbot i generally consider the combat in elder scrolls games to be a means to an end, it has to be there because its a fantasy rpg set in a world with monsters and dungeons and such, but the real point is to put you into the world, combat is simply a detail that helps sell the experience.
I love skyrims combat tho!
I have such fond memories of that game.
I still remember the tention I felt when hearing "Vengeaaance" for the first time in the middle of the night.
My only real complaint about Daggerfall is that the Quests often have a rather unforgiving timer.
get gud
lol
You mean the time limit? What, there's no problem with that. You're just not supposed to take 100 quests at the same time like you would in Skyrim. If you don't have time to do more quests because the last ones have a time limit, say "no" to the quest giver, as simple as that. And if you're planning on doing something else, do not take any quests at all. Only take quests when you're going to do them and you'll have no problems with the time limits at all.
In my opinion it's WAY better to have time limits on quests than like in Skyrim, that you take an urgent quest and then only complete it after 2 months of in-game time... that's just stupid. In Skyrim, nothing matters and everything you do is meaningless and has no consequences. You can't really even fail quests... there's just VERY few quests that you can fail, and even if you fail those, well, it doesn't really matter, there's no consequences.
*****
I'm more saying that Time Limits can be a pain in quests that involve dungeoneering, by virtue of dungeons being procedurally generated and labyrinthine.
*****
I haven't had a problem with that either. As soon as I get a quest, I travel to the dungeon as fast as possible, and save as soon as I get there in case I run out of time (though that has never happened to me)
I guess you have just had bad luck with the quests :-| I have not found the time limits "unforgiving" at all, I just like it very much that there's *some* kind of a time limit, but yeah, just a matter of an opinion I guess.
I guess you really gotta start somewhere, i glad these games happened because they laid the foundation for the TES 3/4/5 but im not gonna kiss ass and say they're the greatest thing since sliced bread because they aren't...those graphics...those bugs...that archaic gameplay....i love the map sizes they are massive but id imagine the games get monotonous really really quickly...those bloody generated walls in the caves are already pissing me off...hopefully this gets a next gen remake or something....
Game looks eh but once you settle in, it starts to rub its charm off on you. You have to put effort into making the game work for you - configuring the controls and putting FULLSCREEN mode on and making it VIEW instead of CURSOR for the movement
This game is a game for questers- much less one for explorers. I'll admit, Morrowind was the first TES game I got into and it downright spoiled me with the exploring stuff.
Rare daedric darts littered on the roof of a sunken daedric shrine, an epic claymore just chilling upright in a ring of skulls...
Yeah, I lost the dwemer puzzle box back at level three. screw quests and gold, acquire fat lutes
WhiteMageMentality I just found that claymore the other day lol, looked up and was like whaaa
Daggerfall unity is really fun. It got me to play it a lot
