I find the writing in this game so flavorful. I have this playing in the background while I play other games and half the time when Dave reads a letter or dialog from an npc, it honestly sounds like Dave adds in words or improvs small sections of the sentence when in reality, that's how the dialog actually reads. It gives a sincere and realistic tone to every text-based interaction.
I love the horse riding animation. It looks like one of those little horse head on a stick toy things you get as a kid to pretend to ride one while running around.
Daggerfall is beautiful and Dagerfall Unity is something very very special. For my taste, I personally prefer Morrowind anyway. Daggerfall is so much bigger (and not only in worldspace, but also in terms of role playing depth and all) but still, almost everything is procedurally generated and for me this feels like the world is all the same, a shapeless mass without a soul. Morrowind, on the other side, feels like every single place is different and you are more willing to explore and be amazed at every step you take, because you may discover something unique beyond the horizon.
Adding some of Daggerfall's RPG systems (like the courts) and a little of its scale to Morrowind, and adding more detail and personality to Daggerfall, could make both among the best games ever made.

I am so in love with these long-format videos. It is so nice to put on while I work and watch throughout the day. I am so glad to see Arthur's Father's story being told. When will he meet Arthur's Mother, I wonder?

3:03:22 that got me way more than I thought it would. the manic sprint upstairs, spots thief, "yup", and then one swing with the hammer, DOOSH, gone. fucking priceless, lad.
I really like reading the notification text in an increasingly surprised and horrified voice as the dungeons progress: “Orc just... died?!? Rat just died! Skeleton just DIED!”
Flying werewolves on horses are just another day in sentinel, meanwhile in daggerfall they need the intervention of the emperors agent for a simple ghost that mutters vengeance at night.
Unfortunately with these long episodes, I have to watch them all in parts rather than all at once, but I am thoroughly enjoying this series, and am so very glad you're making it for all of us to watch
I hate it when you're locked out of a city and can't cast levitate. Climbing the walls isn't the problem, it's carrying the horse and cart over with you that's the hard part.
I don’t think your old LPs were cringe (like AT ALL), but I do appreciate the increase in production quality. You are my go-to for a good story and fun dialogue. You, Veriax, and gopher have given me great times over the years as I’ve multitasked at work! 😝
I really enjoy this playthrough of Daggerfall because it reminds me of a time I watched your Daggerfall live stream a few years ago now with your dark elf named Dave. He was part of your live series that followed the adventures of Dave as he was seen in Arena through Morrowind. Your Odyssey To the East live stream has been so fun to watch throughout the years.

Yay! Missed the stream (because naps...Long naps) and have been waiting for you to upload this. Was earlier than I had expected, such a nice surprise :)
I GMed some Warhammer fantasy TT in school. Still got the massive green rulebook. It was an interesting game. Sort of late medieval tutonic high fantasy meets Lovecraftian occult horror.
@@vicroc4 unfortunately Daggerfall was technically… a little bit not actually a proper open world game since the maps don’t in fact actually properly connect no matter how far you travel within each wilderness location.
I like to imagine everyone in town hated that one woman, so when a stranger came to town, chatted her up, and then morphed into a lycanthrope and ate her whole, no one really batted an eye. "Welp, she was kind of a rude idiot"
*goes down the vertical cliff, has an enemy chasing him, gets down from the vertical cliff and sees the enemy still chasing him* "Stop this! Honestly, you're gonna have to come down if you want to catch me." *Casts levitation spell* "You know what? Screw this, I've had enough of your shit!" Lmfao great stuff.
Riding the horse while in wolf form makes me think of a two-legged horse-creature with a werewolf riding on it's shoulders swiping and snarling at people as they pass, but never dismounting for some unspecified reason.
I remember playing Daggerfall back in the 90's when it was new. I found it addicting and kept dying over and over in that first dungeon. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to survive the dungeon. Eventually, it occurred to me, the best way to survive the dungeon was to run past every single enemy. I got to the game world, and remember being a bit blown away that the first dungeon, "wasn't the entire game." I ended up playing Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. And because all those games were developed with the developers not having "a randomizer of maps, towns, and dungeons." I don't think they could ever quite capture the feel of true exploration that you experienced with the randomized map. But of course, the later games are better given adding details and lore to it all. I wish they could bring back a true "randomizer" to the open world and dungeons. Maybe "AI" could offer something like that?
The vendors in Dagger Fall seem to have unlimited gold so you’re really only limited by your own carrying capacity when it comes to making money, and if you remember to drop a mark at the entrance of the dungeon you can just keep teleporting back there with the loot to put in the cart
@@BigNoseAudit In the words of a great sports person, "Why you mad, is just game!" And comments are good for the youtube algorithm, regardless of what dumb comment/joke/rhetorical device I type out here it all just slightly boosts engagement on this channel.
The buildings in this game look super modern by oblivion/skyrim standards, and morrowind had some of the most unique buildings in any elder scrolls game!
At level up, if you chose a custom class, you have to designate how much HP you gain on level-up at the beginning, which would also affect the speed of your leveling up. If you do this, you can set max HP on level up to 30. It may have defaulted to the lowest of 3HP per level.
Okay, Guild Tip: Fighters and Mages do NOT cancel each other out in terms of reputation. You will actually be awarded reputation for both if you do a quest for one or the other. You'll just get awarded more for the guild you're working for. You'll do worse with criminal organizations.
Thinking back to old Mages Guild mission, weren't there shape shifting spells that let's one turn into a werewolf (at least in the lore) in Daggerfall? That would explain why werewolf form is fine.
It's Halo 3. There's no way it isn't Halo 3. Giving the genre away would make it too obvious (how many other for games has Dave played on the channel besides Halo? Republic Commando is the only one I can think of) and its a new release of an old game ("Well newish release"). Halo 3 got released on PC as part of the MCC like 6 months ago. I'd be willing to be a significant amount of money that it's Halo 3.
A camel would be easy to mod in as simply a reskin of the horse. If you wanted to own both a camel and a horse, and have the camel be mechanically different, that'd be harder.
BTW, I apologize for confusing you on stream with a Might and Magic 6 player. I thought that was how I originally found your YT channel and subscribed. But I don't see Might and Magic content on the channel, so clearly, I was mistaken. 😅 Nevertheless, whatever I came for in the channel way back when, it was obviously good stuff.
So I JUST found your channel and I am very late to it all! I love old fashioned Let's Plays and you've got A LOT of them! I'm watching a few of your series right now. Do you have any favorite ones or individual episodes I should check out? I'm currently sitting around with a very broken leg and recovering for related surgery and your content has been a fantastic binge. (You've said in the past you seldom read comments, so this is an open question to any other subs!) Thanks!
I recommend the Skyrim LP It's a really good series, certainly my favourite Skyrim LP and probably how most people found Dave's channel. The ongoing Morrowind LP is quite good too, as is the Jurassic Park LP if youre looking for something on the shorter side
The Queen pays you 267 gold pieces to walk across the court yard because her castle isn't teeming with sycophants dying to have a chance to do menial jobs for her..... I love old school western RPGs.
“I can be a werewolf on a flying horse.”
No longer wondering why Daggerfall is so many people’s favorite.

You are so right. Im constantly surprised by this as well.
Agreed! I was playing recently and was pleasantly surprised with just how much personality is displayed when getting a quest or receiving a letter.
