How do I do all the main quests?

Post by Aetherston »

I want to have as much fun with Daggerfall as possible and I want to see all the quests and interactions. But I hear that doing some quests will block others or that doing some will make people not like me and so on.

So what order should I do the quests? I found this list: http://www.uesp.net/dagger/hints/walkthro.shtml but at the same time the UESP said that I should do the the werebeast quests before myniseras letters and so on.

What do I do? Could someone send me a quest map or just give me a list of them in order, yeah it's less fun, but this game is a bit awkward when it comes to FINDING quests, I just want story and dungeon crawling. Ooh the dungeon crawling! :mrgreen:

Ah, me and 0 guests are browsing this forum... looks like this place is as dead as a giant rat in an oblivion gate.

I didn't want to do this, but I guess I'm just going to have to wade through the main quests on the UESP and mark down all the ones that effect the others and see if I can find a way.

Yeh, the game is sort of a forgotten gem amongst a bunch of rocks :cry: but fear not for I am here!

A guide I followed on my first playthrough was http://www.tesguides.com/tes2/

Although the quest order is a bit wrong in some spots because if you followed the quest guide chronologically as it's listed some of the quests would be unobtainable.

For instance at the beginning you obviously need to talk to the contact (lady b) at the random bar and then I suggest some crypt-raiding to get your horse/wagon and then your good to go and don't have to worry as much about being late for quests.

Make damn sure that you get some form of improved magery and buy the recall spell as well as water breathing and levitation or your in for a rude awakening later on. The magical opening spell is useful but not required as well.

After that's all covered follow the link I posted until you get to "Orsinium", do NOT I repeat do not talk to Mynisera again after that an grind a level (to reach level 6) and you'll be ready for Cyndasa's first quest, if you do Orsinium first then you will be unable to complete this.

The quest is optional of course but it sheds some light on a few things story-related. '

After that you should be fine following the guide as it's typed.

The UESP article requires a bit too much guesswork and if you followed it as it's typed you'd get through the main quest but a few others would be blocked off.

Another thing to note is that Berenziahs book quest is unable to do after you complete a certain quest (I forgot which I'm sorry) but it has only small relevance to the story and just revolves around
Spoiler:
Finding the sole copy of The Real Berenziah so the queen herself can censor it.
I suggest doing all of the side quests you can but Bernziahs was a PAIN for me to get activated, same for Queen Aubki-i's second quest. Sometimes the couriers take months or even a year to arrive and give you a message and your best bet is to just do crypts and dungeons for levels and gold until then.

It's not uncommon (with 70+ luck) to be level 6 with half mithril and some adamantium gear by this point and things just get easier the more you level which helps.

Also, don't worry about liches, seducers, and master vampires. They aren't anywhere near as deadly as everyone says if you know how to attack while backing up and have a decent dodge skill while carrying a flail.

Thanks man! Yeah, I had a look through and it only seems like the optional quests are a bit dodgy. I've just finished the missing prince and got the common "Why am I dreaming about naked men? Why have I only got 4/4 health? Oh god I've caught ga- I mean Lyncomorphy! Lyncromopahy? I'm a werewolf!" So now I've been scraping my face along the right hand wall of a dungeon for hours now looking for a book to tell me how to find some witches. I think it might be glitched though.

If I don't find it today I'll just find the coven myself.

I remember trying to catch lycanthropy for ages. Standing there for ages while a werewolf tried to hurt me, resting, repeating because it hadn't worked, and finally waking up transformed into a ...Wereboar! Not cool.

If you're really struggling to find the book, it isn't a crime to activate the cheat codes and warp to it (usually there are 8 locations you'll need to try). Just deactivate the codes afterwards or it becomes too tempting...

Nothing seems to be working, I tried cheat codes, I've tried going to the coven myself. I tried taking the other path in the quest. But the alchemist doesn't show up nor does my quest page update with the quest. I'm just going to have to restart. I really don't want to be a werewolf.

I presume you've tried the Fixsave program? If that doesn't work, then you're right - restart. I try keep an old save from time to time...you can copy them into another folder if you are running out of the 6 available.
