The Daggerfall Sightseeing Tour

At least judging by the comments over at Boilerplate's channel, there still seems to be a quite substantial demand for more Daggerfall videos on YouTube. And since I remember someone requesting a video showing more of Daggerfall's different environments, I decided to create this little "Sightseeing Tour" clip. Depicted in this video are (in the following order) the cities of Daggerfall, Wayrest, Wrothgaria, Alik'ra and Sentinel.

If enough people are interested I could probably record a few more DF videos. I'm certainly no expert on the game (in fact, I've never even finished it) but have played it now and again during the last 12 years. I bought it as soon as it was released back in '96 but then - at the age of 14, with virtually no experience of serious RPG gaming whatsoever - I was far too green to get anywhere in the game. I'm going to try to finish it someday with a character (the one used in this video) based on Boilerplate's character creation guide here on YouTube.

Note: The music in this video (apart from the short clip at the end, which is the Dvorak piece used in the original Daggerfall trailer) was created by Robert Hood based on original music from the game by Eric Heberling. The track included is called "The Virtuous", and is freely available for download (together with no less than 6 other beautiful reinterprations of classic Daggerfall tunes) on Hood's website at;

Note 2: For some reason, YouTube cut out the last three seconds of my video during the upload process. For a 5:01 minutes long version with slightly higher quality, visit the following website;

I was told it takes hours to travel from town to town because it has no fast travle I highly doubt that. Is it true?

[Demiath]

@dinosaurus1337 Thankfully, it's not true at all. In fact, there's even *more* fast-travelling in Daggerfall than in modern Elder Scrolls titles like Oblivion, because in this game you don't actually need to physically discover the places you want to fast-travel to (i.e. they're automatically marked on your map right from the start). You can even use a convenient "search" function and write the name of the place you want to go to...

@Demiath It took a few hours to go across the map though.

[Demiath]

@rundownaxe Sure, but that's irrelevant to the question about whether there is fast travel or not in this game.

i cant wait till this comes out.. anyone know the release date?

[Demiath]

Rapidly aging "nextgen" graphics aside, Oblivion includes surprisingly few gameplay elements and features not already seen in Daggerfall a decade earlier (sometimes better implemented and sometimes worse). And what was so cool about Daggerfall in 1996 wasn't quite as hot in 2006 when TES3 was released; which is one of the reasons why Oblivion is a much less important and interesting RPG.

It kind of saddens me that the top comments on most Daggerfall related videos involve bashing later Elder Scrolls titles.

Great video though, and a truly great game.

@rundownaxe The game map is literally 1,000x larger than Skyrim's. I'm sure it takes more than a few hours to cross.

Daggerfall is better than Oblivion and Ocarina Of Time.

Oblivion got some terrible problems with the leveling system and Ocarina of time is the most overrated game ever crated, you notice that when you have played this underrated game (Unless you are one of those ignorant and stupid Nintendo fanboys or one of those who only care about the graphics).

Although I am sure many of the DF fans know of this file: For anyone new to the game who is interested in a great guide, google 'the infamous beginner's guide to daggerfall' and download the document file. It's almost a full guide to the entire game with walkthroughs, cheats etc. Please guys vote up for people to see this.

This brings me back to the older rpgs, you know, the ones where the roleplaying aspects of the game were very in depth and intriguing? I miss those kinds of games nowadays. All they do now is release a cut and paste copy of the last game with updated graphics. Graphics are great but I miss the great gameplay of the old rpgs like daggerfall.

[MisterAAnderson]

@Demiath Not really, it just focused on making more detail to all of the landscape around the player.

[Trobinus666]

what provinces are these cities in?

[looseendsful]
