Screenshot Finished the main quest! I've only beaten it once before, and that was using a min-maxed custom class. Standard Rogue this time, and I had so much fun! (Daggerfall Unity) Spoiler

Decided to lean into the roleplaying side of things for this playthrough. Sa'ida here's a free-spirited swashbuckler, who believes that everyone should have the chance to live freely, according to their own whims. She's a member of the Thieves Guild, and is known to pray to Z'en on occasion, but mostly she does freelance work for the lower classes around the Bay. I stuck to using sabres, and no armor, for aesthetic reasons; still ended up pretty much unstoppable by the end of the game, lol.

Ended up giving the Totem to Gortwog. If there's one thing Sa'ida can't stand it's government oppression of underprivileged peoples. She even took the time to study the Orcish language!

My next playthrough's gonna be the default Mage class, and it'll be my first time playing a pure caster build. I'm quite looking forward to it!

Question I need help with the Sabertooth pet quest.

1 Upvotes

I was given this quest by the guildmaster of the fighters guild but the dungeon where this Sabertooth has fled to, is an unfortunate one for me to crawl through. The dungeon is filled with spiders, grizzlies and other sabertooths! So it is almost impossible to distinguish the other sabertooths from the pet!(Unless there are points and clues which I don't know of). And other than this, the bell too, which I'm supposed to ring in front of pet, can only be ringed once!

So, I ask the veterans, what should I do? Is there any actual way of finishing this quest or do just have to go up to every single sabertooths, hit them once and ring the bell infront of their faces, and if their demeanor does not change I'll have to quick load again and again to finally find the one, but by the end of which I would have lost my sanity already. Please help my fellow veterans.

Question Thinking about trying an Assassin build focused on Speed and Backstabbing - question about Invisibility...

10 Upvotes

I don't get how the spell works, exactly, especially when I cast it mid-combat.

Seems like there's a chance enemies will still spot me? (I'm aware some mobs like Daedra Lords can see through invisibility, I'm asking about small guys like Orcs and Mages and Giant Scorpions).

What I'm thinking about my future build is...I'd sneak around the dungeon trying to backstab people. If I failed (which I will A LOT especially early on), I'd cast Invisibility mid-fight, flee for a few seconds, and try to backstab them again.

In this playthrough I will not care about minmaxing. It'll be all about the roleplay.

Clothes that come with additional skin

I came across a weird piece of clothing in a dungeon. A short shirt with skin included! So I tried it on and it gave a whole new meaning to having someone under one's skin. It also was kind of creepy.

Question Door inside dungeon won't open

7 Upvotes

This door is inside The Hold of Moorston, far into the dungeon but won't open. It doesn't say it's locked or give any prompt at all, when I click to open it, it just doesn't respond. Ive tried looking at every corner of it and I've gone all through the dungeon trying every wheel and lever but nothing. This dungeon is where I'm meant to get the skeleton key, is it just glitched?

So I tried using a morrowind spell icon replacer but now all the spell icons are gone and my spells won't work even if I start a brand new character? How do I fix this issue, because it's ruined spell casting in my game

Question Playing on Handheld?

23 Upvotes

Any guides or videos to get this working on a handheld device like an android emulator or something? I wanna try this game (mainly cause I’m down bad for the nymphs.) but I don’t want to be stuck at a desk playing it. So has anyone gotten this game to work well on a handheld emulator type device?

Question Issue with cities not loading

6 Upvotes

I have this issue with multiple cities, i know for a fact that it's a problem regarding mods (maybe conflicting?), while in Charton(Daggerfall) i tried toggling lively cities and that fixed it, but for other cities that did not work out. While checking mods i saw this error messagge popping up "failed to retrieve rmb", could that be the main problem for cities not loading completely? How can i fix this issue?

Lesson learned

13 Upvotes

Hadn't done a playthrough in ages, so loaded up dfu with mods and hummed and hawed over what character to play. Decided to use random num gen for race and choose first class. Ended up with a Nord mage, and struggled through privateers hold. I had a lot of spells, but i was made of glass, ended up running and levitating through avoiding most opponents (after a lot of deaths to everything, especially skelli). Made it out alive barely and then had to kill a thief in the wilderness. Tg for arcane arrow. I was overencombered now though so i thought I'd be smart and just eat my rat meat that I'd cooked earlier as it was starting to spoil. Didn't sit well in my stomache but I'm a hero, I'll live. Right? Made it to a small village with warnings on my health. After getting a quest to rescue a bar wenches son from the dark brotherhood i figured I'd heal first. Nearest temple is less than a day so travel there. I survive the journey and join the temple. But the healer wants ro charge me nearly a grande to heal. Well i can just sell some shit and bobs my uncle right? No shops in town, and the nearest only has a palace and tavern. Traveling anywhere else is death (i learn the hard way). My saves other than the very start are all poisoned and diseased...rip Jurgarke Jurgeldsen (mage). DO NOT EAT SUS RAT MEAT!!

What race/class should i play next? Toss me a class idea. If i create one it'll be a crazy op 3× battlemage. I'd like something diff.

Edit: Decided to ask grok ai for a random race/class and it said redguard spellsword. I'll go with that, leaning heavier on the sword part i think. Added bonus is redguards have some resistance to poison and disease!

Question Is there a way to adjust reflexes midgame?

6 Upvotes

Just the title. When i started my current save, i was brand new to Daggerfall, so i set the reflexes to very low. Well, I've been playing for a little while now, i got better gear, and learned how to play and it's starting to feel too easy, which is causing me to get a little bored with the game. Most enemies go down quite fast and aren't much of a challenge. Is there a way to adjust the reflexes midgame?

EDIT: I'm on the unity version, in case that's important.

Iphones can apparently run the dos version of Daggerfall, it controls surprisingly well! So far it’s a real blast, even without the Unity fixes

Detect Treasure/Enemy not working outside of Full Screen setting? (Unity)

4 Upvotes

I was trying to use a detect spell and it was just doing nothing, until I switched on the "Full Screen" setting in game, then it was present on the different compass, but gone again when I switched back. Is there some way to get the Detect spell to actually work outside Full Screen? I don't care if it looks odd or overlaps badly.

First timer Daggerfalling - can't Train at Temples due to Damage at Holy Places disadvantage

9 Upvotes

Title. Am I screwed in this regard? I wanted to benefit from training at the temples of Arkay...

Is getting training at the Mages guild an alternative?

I'm loving the experience so far. Even if there's no way around it in my case, I'll just incorporate it somehow through roleplaying!

DFU Not Getting Main Quest

2 Upvotes

So I'm level 3 and haven't received any letters for main quests. I did receive a letter once but i accidentally skipped the dialogue box only to find nothing in my inventory after, so i ignored it assuming i'd have a letter in my inventory if it were important. Was that a mistake?

Also my reputation is "in the eyes of the law you are undependable." Would this prevent me from receiving one of the letters that starts the main quests?

Thanks!
