"See that Mountain? There’s a self-contained Ecosystem up there!" - Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall

- A clip from my Daggefall Live-Stream series. People harken back to "See that Mountain? You can climb it!" comment from Todd Howard. Daggerfall was made before his time. Even though I'm playing a heavily modded version of the game, this mountain exists in the Vanilla game if you go to the same location. Gotta admit it's a sharp contrast to the mainly flat lands that most of Daggerfall is made out of. Also turns out this one is too steep to walk up, we had to use the climb skill the rest of the way.

Because the level of detail was 2D trees + green dirt!
Still, they could have made the newer games bigger but just didn't bother. Imagine skyrim graphics/gameplay but with generated landscaped etc. Too bad they were too lazy/lacking in skill to make that work

This mountain is what happens when you fall asleep on your mouse while using the environment editor.
Everyone who used map editors for the first time can confirm that xD
Or sneezed
knowing that the develeopers of daggerfall basically pulled all nighters for a year to make this game I can confirm that this is probably what happened
@Andrés Valverde
You're a generated world
Reminded me of Far Cry Map Editor.
It's so odd seeing something that huge in such a old game, almost looks like a textural glitch.
Daggerfall is biiiiiiiiiiiig like around the size of the United Kingdom so it’s random generation for the map
@@thisguy9458 its thousands of square kilometers
@@thisguy9458 i don't think it's random, it's procedural. It makes the same map each time, but no one designed it
Its a glitch caused by the map generation isn't it. I believe daggerfall was supposed to have big mountains and shit but it was disabled before release. Sometimes it reenables accidentally.
You haven't played Daggerfall aren't you? Got my hands on them as a kid, and I tell you TES: Dagger fall is by far the biggest map in all RPG game history.
But yeah most of them are just random computer generated towns and stuff.

"Climb skill" yeah defo before its time. And before our times as well. Climbing will probably never become a thing in non-survival games just because.
Considering how dungeons in daggerfall were the largest and most vertical in the series, and you needed the climb skill to get into cities sometimes, it was more of a necessity.
BOTW called
Climbing is pretty hard to animate with modern day detailed models and it would look pretty weird to levitate up walls when climbing in the current generation.
I guess we don't talk about assassin's creed
@@tinycervid7679 AC has climbing as a core mechanic though. Even in daggerfall, you could just choose to not climb if you wished.
You see that mountain? You can climb it.

I guess this is what people mean when they talk about ascend to a higher plane of existence.
No thats lsd
Higher state of consciousness @skelly
I'm going to mention generally that Daggerfall wasn't yet a game where Todd Howard had a lead role. Todd Howard isn't Bethesda "oldest legend", he's the "new guy" who incrementally changed everything. Makes me cringe how everyone just refers to him even in such old titles. Morrowind and Oblivion also still had strong influences from other designers.
He was lead dungeon designer on Morrowind, which isn't an enormous role but I think he did good work
Read the description
I feel most of us know this. It's just funny to act like Todd Howard is personally responsible for every glitch and disappointment we have.
I heard the og elder scrolls devs are making a game together so that's exciting to hear
@@Ryu1ify That's the power he holds, he takes all the praise in good time, and all the hate in bad times.
I bet that mountain is bigger than Skyrim

You need a mod where some really old man lives in a cabin. “Oh! Are you real? Am I, am i saved? Its been soo long since I climbed this mountain...i could never climb back down... my family my son...its been so long...”
*take quest? ... yes*
“Oh by the gods, thank you! Oh wait a moment, allow me to fetch my things!” *disappears into cabin for awhile*
If you follow him into the cabin, you find the old man has collapsed on the floor, dead. Quest objectives change to *TAKE ILDEN’S PERSONAL AFFECTS. FIND ILDEN’S FAMILY*
Long story short you meet his granddaughter.
Does she have big milkers?
@@ballisticcranberrypeat7777 but of course.
I think you should look up George Hopkins and Devils tower. He parachuted onto Devils Tower and was stuck on it for 6 days before they got someone to succesfully climb up and rescue him.
Wow... that's poignant. ;w;
It’s totally not lore friendly but it would be cool if a modder turned this into a volcano
If it's not going to be lore friendly i want snow elfs up there
I mean they should just put a chest up there and reduce the height ever so slightly and make it like a plataue
I want the answer to who Maiq really is on the top of that mountain.
Or a dead volcano where the lava tubes become corridors into a dungeon.
red mountain 2: the squeakwel
They really should bring back the climb ability
TES is going to have like 4 stats and 6 skills lmao
Frood and 2 of the skills can only be leveled up by microtransaction
rather not
I guess, the devs removed a lot of skills linked with movement (athletics, acrobatics, climbing etc) because it was easy to abuse the system and get max skills just by running in circles or climbing the same wall for several hours (or they suffer from severe Alzheimer's and can't incorporate features they used in previous game).
Unfortunately, Bethesda uses shitty skill system that consists only of weakpoints and bugs and promotes using any stupid decision possible 24/7 to level it up.
@@andreydoronin6995 running in circles to git gud at running is pretty realistic lol
Running up a 90° angle moutain in Daggerfall
Zaric: "They called me a mad man."
dagger fall is the gift that keeps on giving. that mountain always existed in the game, but the spectacle of standing at the base and looking all the way up at it is something we've only gotten on modern machines
Where in game is this
@@voidghost4933 he shows it on the map.
Hate to burst your bubble there, but original Daggerfall had flat terrains. At best you would get some bumps on the ground, simulating rocky terrains but there were no actual mountains or height difference.
It was supposed to tho, iirc you can still find unfinished code for that but it was eventually scrapped like a lot of things because of small available development time (also the game's size was already super massive for that time).
What you see is a highly modded version of Daggerfall.
I get ya tho, lots of Daggerfall keeps getting better as technology advances, which shows just how dashing and advanced this game was. No other RPG got that far.
@@LowikQC I just downloaded Daggerfall the other day. I was shocked it was over 1 GB. Morrowind was barely 1 GB, and it actually uses 3D textures.
Pretty big game for its time. And yea, i know Baldurs Gate and a few others were bigger, but they copied a lot of shit from CD to CD
@@LowikQC This mountain is in original Daggerfall as well, and its the highest point in the game world, though the plasma fractal generation does make it a lot smaller than the height map generation DFUnity uses (which still uses the same terrain data).
The massive scale is mind blowing.
I mean yeah, but like no man's sky its pointless and repetitive
@Popedxout guarantee you've never played it
@@CR-og5ho Surprisingly No Man's Sky has had a huge turnabout, the price is increasing, theres a major update every 4 to 6 months, and the community has forgiven, and even gave the team behind it a buildboard to show their love for the game. You should watch Internet Historians video on it, he explains everything regarding it's troubled development and everything (also, ironically this sorta makes you the one who hasn't played it)
@@dulguunmurunbarsbold210 I was talking about Daggerfall. Played No Man's Sky since release I agree it's good now
It gives a sense of believability though, comically small maps are also boring as you just see the same thing over and over which are still copy pasted anyway. It's like that both ways really, but at least the bigger maps have a sense of place most of the time.
This man does not need sleep or nourishment he simply exists untouched by this mortal plane.
Somehow a levitating man on horseback flying upwards makes more sense than that same man climbing an almost vertical mountain on horseback.
Maybe Skyrim horses are just hornless goats? Goats can climb cliffs like crazy.
I wish we had Daggerfall in a newer engine. That would be amazing.
They are making a spiritual successor to Daggerfall that will be truer to Daggerfall than Morrowind was.
There's Skygerfall but it has very few of Daggerfall's features, just an amusing remake of the main quest line in Skyrim.
Hopefully they use procedural generation for dungeons rather than random generation.
This is in unity rn, what you want is a remake.
@@sade1212 yea, isn't it complete?
Wow, I built the world for the game and I didn't know a mountain (or two) like this existed in the game. Its caused by a mistake in the height map that the terrain generator used. The height map was made by hand so its likely this block was missed in the process. I'm thinking its a map border issue since its right next to where one would be drawn and is set to max height (0xFF) unlike the surrounding areas. And yes, it could have used a town or dungeon at the top. Thanks for the video!
That’s so cool! thanks for the input. really interesting.
The throat of thwe world has nothing on this mountain!
@Wuanslm but it's a scale that it's almost insane , not as normal as the rest of the games to be compared , these big maps fit better on WoW games or FF games , elder scrolls are just fine with Skyrim scale
@@felipegiraldo8100 dagger fall aimed for the stars.
But hit the mountain on the weight of it's own ambition.
Skyrim aimed for the foothills and hit them.
I'd take a million daggerfalls over skyrim.
Well... that doesnt seem the way the franchise got succesful 🤭
@@felipegiraldo8100 Well, I don't particularly care about what is mass marketable and makes money frankly? More for the actual quality of a work and the art that goes into it and especially the quality of writing and roleplay.
@@AbstractTraitorHero but that's exactly what would make a game marketable. Cmon bro. Its ok to like an older game. Just don't try to put another game under it because of your rose colored nostalgia glasses. Im watching this guy play the game and it looks like a huge, empty space. Tedious if anything really.
Some people have lived their entire lives at or near the top and never seeing the bottom..
Hey, at least this mountain is strait forward and easier to navigate than DF dungeons. Spend four hours looking for a piece of paper that ends up being under a rock, underwater, and requiring noclip to find and access......
You probably missed a section or something if you needed noclip
@@Kerumoom it's called a joke.
jokes usually exaggerate to add humor.
@@Kerumoom of course, he missed the hidden lever that revealed the paper under the stone at the bottom of the water because it was behind a section that another hidden lever reveals but couldn't find the first lever because he needed to climb up a wall to get into a shaft that you can hardly see.
@@maverick9275 but was it before the right or left turn after going down the stairs down the shaft retracing his steps only to loop back to the stairs from the first hour of the dungeon to go around in circles because you dont have the magick for recall
Today in the morning I told myself that I'm gonna have a very productive day...
...now I'm watching the lost 5th member of Kraftwerk climb a mountain in a 90's video game for 15 freaking minutes.
It do be very cute up there tho, really could use a lil village to brighten it up 😳
When you brought out the Ring of Levitation, that was rather mind blowing for me. Because I grew up in an era where Game Devs will do everything within their godly power to prevent you from getting off the ground, and if you do get off the ground (usually through the use of a glitch) you can use it to hop over the Invisible walls they used to railroad you and break the game. Games these days have so much more room for 3-dimensional level design (You're pretty much not restricted at all!) yet 99% of the time you're stuck being a bottom feeder crawling along the ground, and if there is so much as a waist-high fence between you and where you want to go, you're trapped on this side of the railroad.
Imagine a dungeon that extends down from the top of the mesa to ground level :P
@Fez Paladin I'd go with enter from the top, and have a locked (and barred) door to the outside at the bottom. Unfortunately, that'd be far too planned for a Daggerfall dungeon. :P
legend of grimrock's dungeon is laid out that way
Would be a whole game by itself

I have something incredibly important to tell everyone:
the weather is temperate
Why didn't they allow first person mode horse riding on Skyrim lol
I am pretty sure theres a mod for it and i think we both know why they kept it the camera would often show like only a horse head I mean u can't see ur own body without mods u would often see ur cut off hands haha and the animtion of the horsehead while waking is awful I think thats why
I mean, even in red dead redemption 2, an amazing game, first person horse riding is kinda wack
Mods are the only way to do it. I like an immersive first person camera so I can see my body and then the horse mod for fps riding.
@@KalilIllinois RDR2 has much higher horse speed as well. I prefer to use first person for aiming but yeah it can be difficult. The only advantage of FP view is you can hold sprint to run full speed instead of having to tap the sprint button to run faster.
