Best moment you can remember?

Post by Magnus »

Yes, what is your most fondest memory or best moment in Daggerfall that you can remember?

This is mine,
I had fast traveled to Daggerfall from Sentinel and I didn't have enough money to make it with the "careful" options enabled so I ended up getting there in the middle of the night. So, I as I entered the city I was surrounded by mobs of the ghosts or 'restless sprits' (I hadn't finished the main quest at that point) and so I was dodging and ducking and fighting my way to the walls which I finally got to, when I did reach them I started climbing franticly, gaining a little and falling a little all the while having spells thrown at me from behind. I reached the top of the wall and ran to it and heard the telltale cry of the guards. (Why I do know know at all.) So I had to jump off of the top of the wall and onto the houses only to see below me the ghosts start to surround the house trying to get up it to me. So I spent the next little while looking at my map and planning my jumping routine to get to my house, which I did. The whole time being surrounded by dozens of ghosts and guards!

Quite an enjoyable experence to say the least! :)

When my mom play daggerfall, the only PC game she has ever played (excepting solitare and the like).
she really likes horses, when she found out you could ride a horse she just ran around on the horse slashing people with my mithral claymore. whn the gaurds came, she just rode away. Damn hillarious from my point of view.


BTW
how in the seven hairy hells do I use a bow in this game, I've got a savegame with a bunch of rangers I've killed with my bow, so I know I CAN use one, but for the life of me I cannot remember how to fire the thing. I'm sure the answer will make me smack my own head and yell, "STUPID"

My most interesting situation was as a low level character (3rd level I think), taking a quest that gets you chased about by Daedroths and the like. I had only one weapon even capable of hitting them, a dwarven flail of toxic cloud I had picked up in a dungeon, and almost no skill with blunt weapon (hence, no chance to strike and hope to get a hit in before being shredded).

A daedroth started chasing me (in open daylight) through the streets of some High Rock city, and I ran into a temple there hoping that a daedra would not follow. I was wrong. I was backed into a corner with the thing coming for me, and my flail was the only magick item I had with an offensive spell, so I started zapping toxic clouds at the daedroth. Each hit sent it back a few feet, keeping it just beyond range of being able to maul me, and after nearly wearing out the item, it succumbed to the toxic clouds.

I used to play Daggerfall several years ago and I still remember this:

My (male) character had just returned to Daggerfall from a quest and after getting paid he was returning to his house. It was a small, two room house. So he gets in, opens the door to the bedroom and sees a naked woman on his bed. I repeat: a _naked_ woman on his _bed_. Yes, on a real bed like those in the taverns. Seems Daggerfall chicks love the manly fighter guys :-)

I still laugh sometimes when I remember this.

Err... Sounds like an incredible story all right.

But I just don't understand how that's even possible. The original TES 2: Daggerfall was released long before it was completed (and buggy as hell). There are hints in the game files and code that they had plans to have 'Furniture Stores' where players might have been able to buy furniture for their home. However, in the actual game all Furniture stores are empty - there's nothing there to buy. And ALL houses and mansions available for purchase are completely barren of furniture of any kind. (Much like real life.)

Did the bed just materialize out of thin air? Was there some truely bizzare game bug that did this? And I've never heard of any sort of quest or random event that's supposed to happen inside your house. As they say "My home is my castle!" Even the city guards and monsters treat the adventurer's home as off limits!
