Please Daggerfall was great.. for its time. Comparing it to the newer games is like comparing MW3 to Doom. = Both are where awesome when they came out. My father used to school young tards by saying "Kid I've got ties older than you". I feel pride that I can say "Kid, I've played Video Games older than you". If you don't understand playing a Computer game without having to create and load a "Boot Disk", your point on it is Null. Sorry
Guys, guys why all the fuss?! If you're a true Elder Scrolls fan you'll like all games nonetheless. All games have their pros and cons and Bethesda Softworks is making a good job by attempting to improve its games by every release. So seriously, why bother arguing? I personally have a complete collection ranging from TES I:Arena to TES V:Skyrim(except TES III:Morrowind which I'll buy soon). I love them all equally and I think they're all good at a particular aspect. Have fun!
A remake of Daggerfall, with graphics similar to late PS1 quality to retain some of that gritty feeling. The game would span a set of 5 discs, with a total install size of almost 50GB. All of Tamriel is explorable in extensive detail at real-world scale. NPC interaction is mostly voiced but with vast amounts of text-based conversation. Jeremy Soule arranges a modern version of the score. All the RPG staples or II supplemented with the advances of III/IV/V.
@HBsongwriter Oh I have played the game and I'm fully aware if that. But he still said something about closing a door to Oblivion. Actually, he says "marble drawers (At least I think it's drawers?)" What the fuck he means by that, I have no idea.
@MYlittlePWNAGE1 I downloaded a fully working version for my laptop(win7). Clicked install and went to play 30 seconds after. Look for it. The dosbox is already configured i guess.
@MYlittlePWNAGE1 You can play this on any computer. What i meant is that there is a download (not from bethesda) that is patched and configured. All you have to do is run the .exe then click the shortcut to play the game. You don't have to download dosbox it is included. Google search it and you will find.
how funny that Septim means exactly SEVEN, and the seventh Uriel Septim was the last emperor (well, real one, since his son didnt really take the throne)
If there's a way to find out who these actors are I'd really want to know. I thought it was going to be easy since Daggerfall has an entry on IMDb, but the actors weren't listed.
@sofnsable Morrowind was alright, but not GREAT. Oblivion pretty much sucked, and it looks like Skyrim is going to be even worse, catering to the console crowd.
Dude you don't even know what the hell your talking about. Give me three good reasons why oblivion wouldn't be considered an rpg. I hate when people talk about pc gamers being better than console gamers and vice versa. Games come out on both for a reason: so you get to pick! One isn't necessarily better than the other.
@Zandarlod When it comes to RPGs, computers ARE better. I didn't say Oblivion wasn't an RPG (Oblivion fans really suck at reading comprehension), just that it barely is (it's about half). It's more or less an action game with RPG elements. Even the RPG elements are crap. The level scaling system is garbage, and makes exploration boring, and randomized dungeon loot sucks. The reduction in the number of skills is hardly an improvement. All the NPCs are pretty much the same. Classes don't matter.
I really don't see what you're talking about. Sure the voices for the npcs can get old but it has completely customizable characters, a huge selection of weapons and armor to choose from the go up in level as you do, it has a huge world to explore, tons of dungeons, and the game never ends. It has a main quest but there are so many sidequests and extra stuff to do you could play for years and still have things to do. Maybe you don't like the game and I can totally accept that
@Zandarlod Voices don't bother me. It's just a poorly made RPG. "Game never ends" - Not really a good thing, as it makes the main quest unimportant. The combat isn't RPG combat. The sidequests and dungeons are boring, and not worth playing for "years". Daggerfall's dungeons could get repetitive as well, but it felt bigger. The things you mentioned are done in MMOs, none of which are worth playing. "go up in level as you do..." - Lame. Anyway, I don't want to derail this any further.
@Psydecar I'm making some assumptions, but I respect and appreciate your opinion. I do feel your statement that a game not having an "end" makes the main quest unimportant to be a rather glib assessment though... In life most things are only as important to an individual as they care to make them. That said, I can appreciate the call to not make a game end with the conclusion of any specific story arc, main included.
@nazaxprime It just feels like the whole "guilds" thing is made to be more important. I think that it's alright to have sidequests that have little to do with the main story, but the game doesn't need to go on after the plot-related quest has ended, because it makes said quest feel like another insignificant sidequest. Yes, it's an opinion, but I've seen similar complaints (that the game just feels like a series of sidequests) elsewhere. I'll give that site a look, thanks.
@Psydecar The Elder Scrolls a sandbox game, the sidequests are important to give more detail to the game. Of course the later games made it all fell more handwritten since some things in the this one are randomly generated but nonetheless it needs those little details.
@MisterAAnderson I already mentioned that I have nothing against sidequests. I prefer computer RPGs because you get to play however you want instead of having to follow a linear path, and sidequests add to the freedom of choice, but the main quest shouldn't feel like one. Oblivion felt like a single-player MMO.
@Psydecar Well, actually there were some choices in Oblivion, I don't know where are you getting that MMO feel, yes you do eventually get your level up for using your skills but it doesn't fell like "kill 20 monsters to get this item", at least to me. Daggerfall was made in 1996 so give it a break. They didn't have all they have now to develop an advanced RPG with thousand of choices and a developed dialogue system or anything like that, because they didn't have the means to get this working.
@MisterAAnderson I'm not talking about Daggerfall. I love Daggerfall, and I quite like Morrowind as well. My beef is with Oblivion (and honestly the storyline thing is the least of the games problems and could be ignored if it did well in other aspects). I know that there are choices in Oblivion, and I never said otherwise. Maybe my post wasn't clear. It feels like an MMO because it never feels like you're accomplishing anything.
@Psydecar Works for me, still can't get what's wrong with Oblivion. The main story isn't perfect, but it has it's moments of joy. I always get a sense of accomplishment when I do something in the game, also there are lots of people who love MMO's and they surely get a sense of accomplishment when leveling or joining a guild.
@Psydecar I cant wait for technology to make "consoles" not only obsolete, but extinct. I have said as much on gameindustry biz
Speaking of which, you sound well opinionated, and should maybe check that site out, as your opinion would have much more of an impact there than here.
@Psydecar wtf are you talking about. Morrowind was a million times better than this daggerfall crap. I have a character with mostly 100's in stats and I finished the daedric quest of meridia and suddenly my ring of khajit broke! It turns out that you can't repair magical items because of a patch! Either the game is buggy as hell or you can't repair magical items. Also dungeons are so big that you frequently can't find your objective. Morrowind was amazing.
@lordzilu1584 If you can deal with the bugs and frustration, then Daggerfall is a better game. If you can't, then Morrowind is a better game for you then. I personally prefer Morrowind. More refined.
@ihateflags1 Yeah, you can't repair magical items. It's called 'balance'. And about dungeons - that's why the first thing you should buy is "Recall" spell. Also, automap.
This intro laid such a perfect atmospheric foudation to the game.
It makes you feel that what you're setting out to do really matters, instead of just being put out into the world for a random yet linear quest of self discovery.
Yes, it's been years since I've played the game, but I have never forgotten these words and I doubt I ever will.
Perfect. Just perfect...
That said, I anxiously look forward to playing Skyrim.
No more hacking at little dragonlings... Time to face the real deal!
@crapmunky99 Totally. I played Daggerfall a year ago, and I love how it feels so dark, mysterious and kind of uneasy compared to Oblivion, in particular.
@ButtigiegStudios That's the battlemage I think. And if I know my TES history right, after Jagar Tharn, Ocato became the battlemage and he's a high elf.
The actor seems familiar. And he is a very good actor. I bet they payed him quite a bit to do this. I love this game though. cant get it to work on my PC though.
okay just to set the record straight akatosh made the pact to keep nirn safe from the other realms such as the madhouse aka shivering isles an the ash feilds of mehrune dagon just because mehrune was defeated doesnt mean that other daedra lik molag bal, malacath, or juggalag might try some shit in the next one expecialy with morrowind an other provinces on the revolt
You just can't beat live actors for a video game. I remeber playing Myst, with the creepy actors making the puzzle solving all the more intriguing. Any other games out there (besides the obvious interactive movies) that featured live actors??
Yeah, in DF, Uriel asks the Eternal Champion from Arena, to complete this task. In Morrowind, he knows you are the Neravarine (Reincarnation of Nerevar, see UESP.net), and in Oblivion, he sees that you will save the world and try to restore Martin to the throne. Supposedly, the Septims are part dragon, so they can see things normal mortals can't.
@RTard48JRod Since the Emperors and Empresses have been bound to the Amulet of Kings, they are considered to be part dragon. The myth is that Akatosh gave St. Alessia some of his own blood as a sign of their bound blood, thus the Amulet was born. Akatosh promised that as long as her descendants wore the Amulet, that he will hold shut the jaws of Oblivion. The Septims were Alessia's descendants, and until Uriel was killed, Oblivion was closed to Nirn. (Continued on the next post)
@RTard48JRod See, it wasn't ONLY the Amulet that held it closed. The Dragonfires that were lit by every Emperor, were, for the first time in Tamriel's history, doused, when Uriel VII was killed. [SPOILER WARNING] When Martin went to the Temple of the One at the end of TES4, he didn't light the Dragonfires. Why? Because when he shattered the Amulet, Akatosh's spirit temporarily bound with him, making him a dragon, the embodiment of Akatosh himself. (Continued on the next post)
@RTard48JRod Akatosh helped Martin to banish Mehrunes Dagon back to Oblivion for eternity. After this, the Amulet was not needed again, because Mehrunes Dagon could never invade again. [Another SPOILER WARNING] When Titus Mede became Emperor, it was a new revolution. He didn't need the Amulet, but as far as we know, he wore the Red Dragon Crown. Like Baurus says though, it doesn't have power, only the Amulet does. Sorry for my little history lesson, if you want to know more, check UESP.net
@jacobjedi2 tHANKS,VERY COOL..I!!!!!!!!hmm do u play any MMOs???Im all Addicted to Allods Online,and if you are LOTR fan LOTR ONLINE is going free in nov!!!!!look it up..
@RTard48JRod No problem. :) I play RuneScape, and I am a LOTR fan. I was going to try the trial for LOTR Online, but it took too long, and when I tried to install it, it said that the file was corrupted. I'll look into it whenever it becomes free. Thanks for that info. :)
@jacobjedi2 However there is a big hole on this theory that Dagon cannot come back again. Dagon attack the city of Murnhold in the name of Turala during the first era, but Almalexia and Sotha Sil banished him back possibly in the similar matter as Martin did, by killing him in mundus. Daedra princes's cannot be killed, but just like their artifact, once destroyed in mundus they cant return in many years to mundus, Dagon cannot come back for atleast 2 eras worth of time.
How old is this guy in Oblivion ? 80 years-old, at least ? Because the guy in the vid looks like he's in the later 40s, early 50s, and Oblivion takes place around 30 years after Daggerfall.
dont see enough of these live action intros/movies in video games anymore. The resident evil one was cool, and I'm glad the C&C games keep on with it.
Then they could have used that money to get some more voice actors so npc's wouldn't converse with themselves so often... I still love the game though.
@yutzwagon2 Maybe they could have gotten the voice actor for Morrowind's Dunmer back, since they were pretty out of placed with their new Bosmer style vocal pitch.
I downloaded the free version of this game off of the Elder Scrolls website, but I don't see this cutscene! It just goes to the menu, and after I make my character, it just jumps right to the game. Anyone else have this problem?

@TombRaiderQuests Dude, I quote from you: "in oblivion he says close shut the doors of oblivion"
I simply stated that that's wrong. You misread it.

@Freestyleforcerer Actually, there's apparently a longer version of his final speech in Oblivion, where he does say "marble jaws".

Oh wow...this is where is all started for me. :)
First daggerfall, then went online with Ultima Online, then morrowind, and oblivion.
I tell you what, if they merged UO online gameplay with Elder Scroll stories we'll have the greatest game of all time.

okay just to set the record straight akatosh made the pact to keep nirn safe from the other realms such as the madhouse aka shivering isles an the ash feilds of mehrune dagon just because mehrune was defeated doesnt mean that other daedra lik molag bal, malacath, or juggalag might try some shit in the next one expecialy with morrowind an other provinces on the revolt

You just can't beat live actors for a video game. I remeber playing Myst, with the creepy actors making the puzzle solving all the more intriguing. Any other games out there (besides the obvious interactive movies) that featured live actors??

Yeah, in DF, Uriel asks the Eternal Champion from Arena, to complete this task. In Morrowind, he knows you are the Neravarine (Reincarnation of Nerevar, see UESP.net), and in Oblivion, he sees that you will save the world and try to restore Martin to the throne. Supposedly, the Septims are part dragon, so they can see things normal mortals can't.

@jacobjedi2 They are part dragon???does this mean some one down the line had to uhh well you know...F.U.C.K. A DRAGON!!!!!!!!!....just wondering
RTard48JRod 1 year ago
@RTard48JRod Since the Emperors and Empresses have been bound to the Amulet of Kings, they are considered to be part dragon. The myth is that Akatosh gave St. Alessia some of his own blood as a sign of their bound blood, thus the Amulet was born. Akatosh promised that as long as her descendants wore the Amulet, that he will hold shut the jaws of Oblivion. The Septims were Alessia's descendants, and until Uriel was killed, Oblivion was closed to Nirn. (Continued on the next post)
jacobjedi2 1 year ago
@RTard48JRod See, it wasn't ONLY the Amulet that held it closed. The Dragonfires that were lit by every Emperor, were, for the first time in Tamriel's history, doused, when Uriel VII was killed. [SPOILER WARNING] When Martin went to the Temple of the One at the end of TES4, he didn't light the Dragonfires. Why? Because when he shattered the Amulet, Akatosh's spirit temporarily bound with him, making him a dragon, the embodiment of Akatosh himself. (Continued on the next post)
jacobjedi2 1 year ago
@RTard48JRod Akatosh helped Martin to banish Mehrunes Dagon back to Oblivion for eternity. After this, the Amulet was not needed again, because Mehrunes Dagon could never invade again. [Another SPOILER WARNING] When Titus Mede became Emperor, it was a new revolution. He didn't need the Amulet, but as far as we know, he wore the Red Dragon Crown. Like Baurus says though, it doesn't have power, only the Amulet does. Sorry for my little history lesson, if you want to know more, check UESP.net

@RTard48JRod No problem. :) I play RuneScape, and I am a LOTR fan. I was going to try the trial for LOTR Online, but it took too long, and when I tried to install it, it said that the file was corrupted. I'll look into it whenever it becomes free. Thanks for that info. :)
jacobjedi2 1 year ago
@jacobjedi2 However there is a big hole on this theory that Dagon cannot come back again. Dagon attack the city of Murnhold in the name of Turala during the first era, but Almalexia and Sotha Sil banished him back possibly in the similar matter as Martin did, by killing him in mundus. Daedra princes's cannot be killed, but just like their artifact, once destroyed in mundus they cant return in many years to mundus, Dagon cannot come back for atleast 2 eras worth of time.

Then they could have used that money to get some more voice actors so npc's wouldn't converse with themselves so often... I still love the game though.

@yutzwagon2 Maybe they could have gotten the voice actor for Morrowind's Dunmer back, since they were pretty out of placed with their new Bosmer style vocal pitch.

They got him back for Shivering Isles, he's the voice for Sheogorath's manservant.

@yutzwagon2
No way! I haven't played Shivering Isles, but this gives me a damned good reason to.
Do you know where I could find the name of the voice actor for the Dunmer and Uriel Septim? (Not Patrick Stewart's Septim, the Daggerfall one)
Grykus7 2 years ago
IMDB says that the male Dunmer is one "Jeff Baker." I couldn't find anything on Septim, but you could try the UESPwiki.
