Re: DaggerFX -- vanilla DF in Windows

This is all very promising, just the kind of thing I'd like for DaggerFall, which looks great in it's original state, something I feel is lost in the Unity version.
I tested the beta out and it works, donno about quests and such, I just did a quick test as I have played DaggerFall too much, I'll ...

Re: Game freezing??

The XLengine release is pre alpha, you can't play the game with it at this point.

No character creation, no leveling, no quests, all you can do is wander around.
If you want to play Daggerfall use dosbox.

Re: Diseased?

Or go to the nearest mages guild and make a "cure disease" spell, assuming you can cast spells of course.

Re: Daggerfall General Discussion Thread

I started playing Daggerfall back in 1996, is is easily the game I have played most of all, but I have never ever had a savegame delete it self.

Re: Magic Item Degradation

Those enchantments will make you a god if you are a caster and/or use hand-to-hand, especially if you are a Haarvenu vampire with spell absorption.

Re: Magic Item Degradation

Items have a certain amount of durability, each spell has a cost and drains the items durability, so a magic item has a limited number of charges.

A sword with a bunch of cast when strikes spells on it won't last very long, even if it is daedric.

Some magic items don't drain very fast though, they ...

If the residence is locked, just pick the lock, if that doesn't work cast an open spell and enter.

Re: Spell Absorption, Reduced Magicka and Magic Immunity

In the longer run, you will absolutely need levitation and open spells (unless you want to rely on randomly dropped magic items), recall is VERY handy too.

But in the end, nothing prevents a caster from becoming a better warrior then a pure warrior.
Look through the spellmaker, and gain access to ...

Re: Spell Absorption, Reduced Magicka and Magic Immunity

Spell Absorption only works if you have enough free magicka to absorb the spell.
If your casting skills are low, and your maximum magicka pool is small, then you are unlikely to be able to absorb any spells at all.

I prefer a character that is a good a warrior as any, but has spell absorption and ...

Re: can I complete this quest?

Immunity to Magic grants you immunity to paralyzation as well as poison and disease.

Spell absorption makes spell casting 100x more useful, since area at range spells can be reabsorbed, but still do damage = free of cost.

Re: can I complete this quest?

Different materials only become available at certain levels, as far as I remember you have to be level 4-5 or something like that to find Mithril weapons.
Your only options are to avoid the Daedra (run), use magic, or use the Rusty Ogre Lodge glitch.
Killing any kind of Daedra at level 2 is going to ...

Re: Disappearing quest people?

Another reason for disappearing quest people is too fast processors, the game is much less buggy on a PC with a CPU of less then 450MHz running Win98.
Also, ALWAYS save before accepting a quest, always do this, during the quest it's best only to save while outside, as saving and sometimes also ...

Re: I can't find a certain hidden door.

You can see hidden doors on the otherwise useless automap.

Some dungeons have blocks that are not attached to the rest of the dungeon though, so they are pretty much inaccessible.

Edit: just checked the place out, there are no secret doors.

I totally have no clue where to get the open magical locks spell though and the Mages Guild isn't selling it which is the only problem I've ran into so far. I used lockpicking in my last game but the skill was crappy from my experience and too much like Fallout.

They're randomly generated, so no.

No the dungeons in Daggerfall are like the cities, homes, and temples, a dungeon by a certain name is always the same.
The only difference between main quest dungeons and the regular kind, is that MQ dungeons use blocks that are only used in those particular ...
