Thanks for your reply!
And... it was certainly Daggerfall. Maybe I was using a mod, though I'm sure I was only using one found on UESP, which I am doing again, though perhaps I "installed" them correctly this time.
Could you recommend a good "gloves" mod? The way I remember them, they were "clothing", so did not have an armour rating but also did not wear out due to durability. And they looked simple - like the ones you are automatically "wearing" on screen when your character puts up their fists.
^ That's the main reason I want them. I wanted to wear clothes to match what was on the screen. Gloves, white shirt, boots, brown pants. I also was certain there were brown pants with stitching down the side like the ones your character automatically "wears" when you kick someone, but I couldn't find those either.
I also remember having a Daggerfall editor that let you change the items (etc.) you got from answering the background questions. The ones I find on the page now just let you change save games.... or, did I overlook the one I am looking for?
