daggerfall ~ early thoughts

[kossai]

so far daggerfall is not game where sit down and hyperfocus for hours , unlike oblivion or morrowind .
is this problem with game ? would say no , just kossai not quite used to some of quirks and setups here . actually kind of glad so far , get to slow down and appreciate better , take little bit by bit .

will say , really love this music . have travel options mod , prefer to travel TES worlds manually when possible and travel options make possible , and some of this music genuinely put on edge during nighttime in wilderness . chills ...
love towns and cities , too . simplistic building shapes no doubt , repetitive layouts inside , and even with regional NPCs there is only finite number of NPC designs . but something about all that just charm kossai , and love to see .

as for current place in main quest : just get letter from princess morgiah in wayrest . :)

I love Daggerfall! I watched a few playthroughs this last year and played a bit of the Daggerfall Unity. It’s a fantastic game. I tend to disregard the main quest, however, as I mostly do with Elder Scrolls games, just immerse myself in the story and the world.

oh absolutely ! kossai love delve into main stories of these games to understand and discuss lore , but also so so wonderful for random side characters , and think daggerfall especially have strength for just some dude type of characters . later titles ( ESO aside , due to MMO nature ) - will probably still be some flavour of adventurer , but cities in daggerfall really so large , could blend into background and be some simple nobody , especially with some of daggerfall unity quest pack and dialogue mods people make to really expand on those systems and hardly even need to leave city . ( this is also why some people play ESO that way , for sure - other real players can fill in those blanks instead ! )

love handcraft environments and characters of later titles of course - oblivion is and will remain favourite of this whole series due to shivering isles - but sometimes that quantity and sense of scale is perfect for needs .

Shivering Isles is amazing, it’s such a creative DLC they made. I loved every moment of it when I played it a few years ago.

I agree that the cities in Daggerfall are really large, and the fan community of Daggerfall Unity is great. I also installed quest packs and other things. It makes the game so much better.

I played ESO too last year, it’s also fun to play, and massive!
