My first reaction was "aren't those the only lines in the game?", but that's not entirely true.
Thank you, although this drawing is old as hell - I guess Daggerfall is somehow my favourite Elder Scrolls game!
HALTHALTHALT HALT!

The first time I ever arrived at Daggerfall was in the middle of the night. I climbed over the gate to get into the city...then climbed right the fuck back over after I had only a little bit of health left.

Hey, very nice art, I love Dunmer!
Also, why is it that it's not a good idea to walk around in winter?

Thank you!
I guess your question was answered already

There's little additional danger in winter, but at night some less than pleasant company arrives...

And by less than pleasant company I mean a horde of ghosts that want to murder you.

That line scared the out me when I first played through the game. Couldn't sleep for about a week afterwards. XD

Aww yeah, that's how Lysandus rolls xD I've read quite a few funny tales about the first encounter with that sound sample! (And was pretty scared of it myself, back in the day)

Shit now I must go back to this game.I remember my first gameplay I was running from ghost or wrath (cant remember) with jumping like a bunny

And hopefully a lot of "VENGEAAANCE" in the background!

The controls seem to be a bit hard to get used to, yeah

I managed to get so far but meh...Good game supposedly too

I don't know if it really still counts as a good game nowadays

It is an EXCELLENT game. I started playing it a few weeks ago, and after setting up a custom control scheme, it became one of my favorite RPGS.

Well, I like it too, but I still wouldn't really recommend it to any of today's gamers
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some may be willing to try it. After all, I did.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess, I did show it to a few people but I don't think any of them liked it

Look to the left, look to the right.......then you hear it: VEEEEEEEEEEEENGEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE!
Thanks for rekindling my desire to play this game again. Dunmer battlemage, here we go!!!

I have Daggerfall on disc but no pc to play it :C the Mac version of Dosbox doesn't run Daggerfall for me. All I could do is get out of Privateer's Hold before the emulator craps out on me.
This is a great picture. I like the depth you got from the mist in the background.

Thanks!
That's too bad, I have no experience trying to play anything on Macs though sadly

I actually got it working!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool, are you still playing it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! And I'm getting a usb mouse soon so I can play it properly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I played it on my laptop once, too, but I can't remember whether I had a mouse, swinging the swords with the trackpad does sound kind of funny though

Its annoying. I die sometimes because i dont have a free hand and cant reach the spell button in time to heal myself in a fight
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thankfully everything on higher levels either instakills you or doesn't really damage you at all, so not being able to heal won't be a problem anymore!

Not with a shield spell! MUAAHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAA!

Excellent games Elder Scrolls I and II.
Can be a bit tough to figure out the groove of the game, but when you do it really gets going. X]

Definitely, although I do plan to properly play Skyrim some time >.>

And about Arena - I dunno, I think it's more beatable than Daggerfall. All of the mainquest dungeons are pre-made and simpler than Daggerfall's dungeons of horror.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I never actually tried beating Arena, I might have to do that some time.. but it's pretty hard to get into it these days, when I'm so used to Daggerfall

Thanks, I never beat Arena either

Awesome game, I played it after both morrowind and oblivion - but as soon as i did - i instantly fell in love with it. Sure, the game did have repetitive environments but the world just felt so alive! Arriving at a city at night, pitch blackness with the eerie music and the windows that slightly lit up where you were going really made for some great atmosphere.
Also - finding out that the snow on the ground was actually based on the SEASON and whether or not it snowed? That literally blew my mind when it snowed out and the snow covered the ground and stayed for a long time, especially with that epic tune - pretty sure it was called oversnow i think.
I think where both Oblivion and morrowind (to a much lesser extent) failed for me is they seemed to be lacking in atmosphere, and this is largely due to the music. Daggerfall didn't just have nice music that fit the type of music you would hear from a medieval movie - it had music that fit each weather condition and setting - and there was no "battle" music - this made it a lot creepier when you got attacked by something when you have a track like this playing - [link] Both morrowind and oblivion had stupid "oh a monster is coming from behind? lets play battle music and alert the player" which really took any "creepiness" out of the battles.
It wasn't just that though - even though Daggerfall had slews of features that never made the cut, or got bare bones slapped in - it still feels like its all there for you, and playing the game just feels so much more rewarding than the other TES games. I can't really describe it - but despite growing up with morrowind and loving it and playing oblivion to death, once Daggerfall was released for free and i tried it out - I never even wanted to go back to the later TES games. Plus the armor was epic. It does seem like Skyrim is taking some elements from Daggerfall so hopefully that turns out good.
My only real regret was that we didn't pick the game up when i was a kid - sadly we missed out on it back then - but then again, maybe its better this way - because i get to play it with all the patches and user-made fixes (I surprisingly haven't had that many problems, minus the void D
Interesting side note - anyone who likes daggerfall as much as i do should check out the XL engine and DaggerXL - some guy coded his own engine and is working on it to support Daggerfall fully (with mod support) along with other games such as Dark Forces or Blood.
He plans to reimplement many of the missing daggerfall features once the game is fully implemented - which it almost is right now - and those features include the advertised faction wars - but actually played out!
Also DaggerfallSetup.exe is a nifty installer some guy made that installs the game, patches and fixes for you, and sets it all up with DosBox.
Sorry if i talk alot lol - but this game is one of the most amazing I've ever come across, and has been one of the few games that has actually managed to "immerse me"

That's a cool comment, I didn't think Daggerfall would hold much value to people today who aren't nostalgic about it to the extent I am
I could not agree with you more on the music, it's a key point I strongly disliked about Morrowind and Oblivion - they had good music tracks, but they weren't used in a very smart fashion. Especially the combat music that immediately told you you were being attacked, even if you didn't see the attacker!
I never liked any TES game as much as I did Daggerfall, although Skyrim is pretty good so far. Not enough time to play that the way I would want to, though
The point about the remake looks interesting, maybe I'll remember to look into it some time!
