10 Minutes of Daggerfall

[ReverendSyn]

Reminds me of Oblivion, cruder of course.

[DarkCybrid]

The dungeons in this game were perfect.

[BoneBaron]

I like the game but what i don't like is the combat system. I find it hard to even hit an enemy

[cyberzaikoo]

@BoneBaron maybe cause it's turn based combat system?

[angel55676]

if daggerfall was made with oblivion's graphics, it would be VERY gory from what i'm seeing in this video.

[RomanianSausage]

who cares how slow it is man oh man i love this game. daggergall would be the mom giving birth to twins names diablo 1 and diablo 2

[TheUnknownD]

elder scroll games 2 3 4 are awsome arena is super slow on mnie i dont know why

[hugo182]

Seriously?? I LOVE The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, it's perfect! But the previous games really suck.

[TechFreak74]

How do you get from something like this to Morrowind?

[HJAGI89]

i downloaded this game but i dun know how to use it, i also downloaded the DOSbox thing too...can somebody help me out?

[RockyJemane]

buggerfall

[HardWarUK]

How the heck did you find Elven armour in Privateer's Hold!

[Medhelm]

@HardWarUK It's nothing to be amazed of. With good luck you can find very good stuff even at the beginning. I've once found Elven Saber from Privateer's Hold

[HardWarUK]

That's just a bunch of severed heads hampstasquad11....!!!

[hamstasquad11]

[SolidEffect]

is this game any good? i want to download it but i dont know if it is worth it.

[Gforcebond]

I just dl'ed it a few days ago. Yeah, it's pretty fucking good.

[panterahead667]

Well it's free anyway now, why not

[venom777xxx]

wat a loser..pffft

[dommyuk]

@SolidEffect

It's free so there's no reason not to download it.

[ComCodex]

I miss the danger of passing out due to lack of sleep in this game.

[ComradeGraty]

rat just died

[zarteen]

This looks like loads of fun. Kinda weird seeing it though, after all of those mind numbing hours playing TES4 XD

[chickenfinger7829]

how do you have your controls? I need help.... Ugh.

[Razielim423]

good thing you put on those boots your redguard could have gotten a cold or frostbite travelling in that dungeon

[deciusvarus]

I wish I had known about this game years ago. I was only 5 years old when this game was released. I didn't pay much mind to the computer back then. I cared more about hot wheels, and micro machines. But years later when I played oblivion a new chapter in my life began to unfold. I began to have a affinity for rpgs like this, I also like the old Fallout games. Thats my life story where is yours?

[narufansupear]

I think this is the best game of them all, next to Morrowind... Oblivion was pretty, but I like the gameplay of this game much more than the others.

Best elder scroll games (main ones)

1. Daggerfall

2.Morrowind

3.Oblivion

4.Arena

5. The side versions

[HardWarUK]

I would go with:

1. Morrowind

2. Daggerfall

3. Oblivion

4. Redguard

5 Arena

6. Battlespire

I own them all, so don't flame me for guessing!

[narufansupear]

Honestly I didn't like Reguard at all :/ But nice list

[HardWarUK]

Redguard was able to give more of a flavour of Tamriel and Elder Scrolls because it took a much closer look at a smaller area and populated with a smaller group of deeper characters. It also came with the only guide to Tamriel ever printed by Bethesda!

[HardWarUK]

Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall is now free, to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Elder Scrolls series. It joins Arena, the first Elder Scrolls game,which celebrated it 10th anniversary 5 years ago. So go to Bethesda's site and download Daggerfall (182mb) and Arena (8mb) and see how shallow modern roleplaying is! :)

[hurdl3thed34d]

yeah. everything these days are so dumb downed.

[SandBarAndYou]

I want to but can you play them with a controller?

[HardWarUK]

It's a PC game for PC gamers, before the world went 'multiformat', therefore keyboard and mouse only.

[SandBarAndYou]

But why not connect a controller? Sticking to mouse and keyboard is like sticking with the abacus. Surely there's a way to use a controller. I'm gonna look for a second opinion, a less pompous one.

[HardWarUK]

It's a 15 year old game for goodness sake! It's only on PC and PC used mouse and keyboard and joystick for 12 of those 15 years. So I would say you are the pompous one using the word 'abacus' - showing you to be a console fanboy really; and expecting a controller to work on a PC game you know is 15 years old is the opitimy of pompous!!

[SandBarAndYou]

Okay I see your point about the age of the game. I guess they can't upgrade like that so easily. But about "pompous" I was referring to when you said "It's a PC game FOR PC GAMERS". That's pompous. You're basically saying "Non-PC gamers get the hell out" In fact you actually said that more explicitly this time around. And my remark about the abacus was a comment I used to counter your pompous remark so it makes no sense to throw it back to me.

[Offatwork]

Ahh... arrested development strikes again.

[KUTProductions]

A console controller is not an upgrade from a mouse and keyboard. A console controller is a complete DOWNGRADE. There are 104 keys on a keyboard and a mouse offers the ability to click anywhere on the screen. Hence the reason why all console games have dumbed down UIs.

[SandBarAndYou]

Using a controller instead of a keyboard makes input easier and more comfortable, NOT simpler.

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but never simpler."

- Einstein

EXAMPLE: the decimal system (using only ten symbols to represent, without ANY "dumbing down" of number sense, ALL real numbers)

So I recommend you get an "upgrade" on your remote. Let it have as many buttons as there are channels.

You're right about the mouse, but not about what i was addressing - the keyboard.

[KUTProductions]

What about when you have to input any kind of text on a console and you have to use that stupid menu? Give me a keyboard any day.

I have seen too many games ruined by dumbed-down huge-text ultra simplified UIs that look like they were designed for simpletons because of console crossovers (Prime example: Oblivion) to have any love for controllers over the good old mouse and keyboard.

[SandBarAndYou]

Okay, the text thing is a good point. But although text is easier on a keyboard, your hands will cramp using a keyboard. You win some, you lose some. And Oblivion is one of the most dumbed-down games ever made.

But most of its oversimplifications stem from Bethesda's wanting everyone(including simpletons) to get involved, and NOT from an inferior control apparatus.

It's wasn't the controller that couldn't handle the Elder Scrolls, it was the general public.

[panterahead667]

FYI, there is a keyboard available for the Xbox controller, Oblivion is just as good as it is on pc, it still has every function, all the controls that the keyboard & mouse does. There's more skill involved in rotating an analogue and actually AIMING, which takes more judgement than simply wiggling a mouse around clicking on your enemies...

[coolnessha]

Except for one thing, on the console, to make up for the lack of control, it's aim assisted, so it's a baby version.

[panterahead667]

Yeah, but the PC wouldn't be popular WHATSOEVER if every game that came out used 104 keys... who wants to sit and go through such a steep learning curve to learn so many buttons and what they all do everytime they buy a game. you could say the same for a mouse though, as you free look around with a mouse, nobody could snap their neck around at the speed you would in a computer game, rotation is more realistic. they both have their pros and cons but your statement was retarded

[KUTProductions]

It was all going so well until you ended it with "ur a retard", which completely negated any point you were attempting to make.

[panterahead667]

I do apologise sire, but it is too late to take back my profanity. Hope that helped, if not, i accept my fate of eternal torture in the next life from a big hairy guy with an afro fittingly named "Jerome". I will struggle none PFFFFFFFFFFFFT (sorry just saw something hilarious on jeremy kyle).. want me to tell you a joke? The Argonion says to the Nord.. "where are we going Pedro?" The Nord responds "I dunno, im.. -Oblivious-"

Hahahahahahaha

does that help you forgive me of my sin?

[Gforcebond]

it's not that difficult. You use wasd for moving and straffing and mouse 80 percent of the time anyhow.

[Colintabulous]

Thank you, on the Bethesda forums, whenever I want to show noobs Privateers Hold and give them a good look at daggerfall, I use this video.

[IAMTHECAPSGODLOL]

i wish i had this game

[Genkaiman]

Do you use Dosbox's recording function to make these videos? The quality is outstanding.

[kanakawase]

Yes, I used the Dosbox recording function.

[mitua604]

Ah, good old pseudo 3D days :)

[mazdaplz]

it IS 3d... the tree at the beginning is made out of polygons. i have the game and i can verify that it's a 3d polygonal shape textured like a tree. the maze is also tridimentional on the walls but the lamps, skulls and characters are 2d sprites

[mitua604]

that's what i meant... not a full 3d like quake, say.
