Re: Daggerfall's other composer found?

Amazing work! Now I have to relisten to the soundtrack to remember which tracks were which.

edit: Wow, it is amazing how similar the styles and feels are of the two composers. No wonder everyone assumed it was one person.

Re: Question about quests - kill a lycanthrope in Cult of El

(1) the inaccessible enemies you hear might be in the "endcaps" of the dungeon, which are all along the edges of the dungeons that cap off the dungeon blocks. Quest enemies are NEVER in the external blocks, but normal enemies can be placed there.

(2) The werewolf is probably just tucked in a corner ...

Re: The power of serendipity

great story! Sometimes I enjoy the smaller kingdoms because with the limited number of dungeons there is a greater chance of getting repeats, and eventually you learn the place by heart and know where all the quest locations are.

Re: Enchanting your gear -- "Why did I DO that?!?"

As I undertand it, enchantments were one of the last things to be implemented, and being rushed it is unbalanced and inconsistent.

Re: Enchanting your gear -- "Why did I DO that?!?"

Yep that is the downside to magical gear. The upside is that the armor you enchanted should not degrade because armor in DF doesn't actually wear out (I think that is fixed in DFU) and the enchantments you listed do not actually cast a spell so they won't be "used" ever.

Re: Detect Enchantment / Missing Items

There is supposed to be an enchanted dagger in there. But it might be that the dot on the map is misalighed with the actual location?

Or it could be a very small enchanted ring? Those can be hard to see.

Just for the record, I've always considered reentering dungeons a kind of game-breaking, if not outright cheating practice.

Re: Peryite = Namira + Jyggalag

Pestilence and decay/carrion are different things. and the natural order is waaaaay different from Jyggalag's unnatural order. I don't really agree with your thesis :S

But you are right in that we know very little about Peryite, and maybe that's a shame.

Re: Avoiding Lycanthropy and Vampirism

Great story and tactics! If you always leave a recall anchor (assuming you have the spell points to cast it) by the quest giver, who is surely in a town with a temple, then getting home to be cured is easier. I have more than once been watching the clock--knowing I was infected but hoping I could ...

Re: Lycanthropy question

Cure spells for diseases ad poisons and stuff have a %chance of success. You cast the spell but it failed to cure you. Chances are if you cast it a few more times eventually it would have worked.
If you wanted to be sure to cure it, get to atemple in time and pay them to cure your disease instead.

The thing to remember is that the "stolen item" tag is infectious. If you steal a common soulgem from Galbedir, it'll be marked stolen. If you have other common soulgems already or collect more while holding that one, they'll all be marked stolen, too. even if you purchased them. Now, this only ...

Re: Daggerfall TOG, continuing impressions

The only letter that actually applies a time limit is Lady Brisienna's initial letter asking to meet in a tavern. Otherwise a time limit for a quest only starts when you speak to them and accept the errand. So feel free to take your time!

Very glad you have finally experienced this gem!

Always good advice for Daggerfall players is to use multiple save slots. I have a "Main" and "Quest" slot for each character. In the early says, this was very important because sometimes quests would bug out in unrecoverable ways, so it was wise to ...

Cast-when-used don't need to be equipped, just used.
But Cast-when-held items do in deed need to be equipped, and while there are MANY slots, they are still limited.

You'll get letters eventually from the various players in the Main Story.
