It is clearly a trap set by the cyborg, if I know something about Old Runescape players is that the only thing they hate more than Runescape is Jagex 😂
There are many funny letter delivery messages in Daggerfall, I believe it was the Underking who sends a skeleton which shocks you enough to make you open your mouth at which point it inserts the letter in your mouth and leaves.
I just started a playthrough, and that was funny to me as well, because I looked around outside the town wall. ONE PERSON. I do a 360 pan? SUDDENLY A CROWD. It would seem their potions of invisibility all wore off at the same time, just as keikaku.
Ok, most people seem to ignore this little fact, but the dungeon you start in in is theoretically connected to a cave via a secret passage, which leads to the coast. In Daggerfall, you're shipwrecked and ended up in said cave which also suffered a cave in, which leads you to the only way out left; the dungeon. One of the things I'd love to see World of Daggerfall do in DFU would be to make said cave, either as an exterior explorable asset or as a handcrafted dungeon one "pixel" away from Privateer's Hold, on the coast. The Shipwreck could be found, as well as the bodies of the other Blades aboard, and the cave could lead to a dead end which wold thematically be the other side of the Cave-in.
@@HungMantis The worst thing is that, like Morrowind and Oblivion enemies can be immune to physical attacks, but instead of it just being ghosts - it is basically every enemy. If you start as a melee character you will struggle to even leave the first dungeon BECAUSE OF THE STUPID IMPS! Play as a magic heavy character, save yourself the trouble and pain.
13:25 FINALLY MY KNOWLEDGE COMES IN HANDY We know that Morgiah is not offering her firstborn, according to the Daggerfall Chronicles. The letter just says 'first,' and this was supposed to be resolved in the third game, but then Morrowind was different to what they were originally planning.
I have to say it. I have been thinking it the entire time I have been an Elder Scrolls fan, after they released Skyrim I noticed the MASSIVE DIP in story telling depth, and oversimplification of the game mechanics with every new title. Went from being a real time D&D adventure to.......generic hack and slash FPS with miniscule "RPG" elements. I'm not saying Skyrim is bad, but it's not good either. It just works. We play Skyrim for the Fus Ro Dah's and Wuld Nah Kest's. And to kill Thalmor. We play Oblivion for the memes. We play Morrowind for the Elder Scrolls Lore. I think Daggerfall though just happens to be a lot more in depth in it's VISION. Shame it was released unfinished lol. Imagine if we could have had the entire map of Tamriel at our finger tips. With the way they handled things in DF, I could see it being possibly the BEST ES game if they'd been able to finish it, and stick with the ideas they had established. Buuuuuut retconitis afflicted them much like the Divine Corpus plagued Morrowind.
@@Sphendranait’s also an issue on scale between handcrafted world by compressed, or hugely spanning but procedural, because it’s just unfeasible to expect that level of scale while keeping the world filled with recognizable landmarks, which seems to have become their preferred way of making world since the move to 3d in mainline post morrowind, even if DF did have countless constant structures in world like all the dungeons and towns and such (as in they wouldn’t shift in different playthroughs) Maybe it’s just my mind viewing it from perspective of viewing through lens of what we got in future compared to ambitions that DF had itself
Some additional quirks to the DOS version are: *Dodge is broken and reduces YOUR chance to hit *Walls are suggestions and you can go out of bounds easily *Levitate just creates an invisible floor beneath you, meaning if you cast it while falling (without slowfall) you can just die from fall damage *You can use hand to hand to begin flying upwards into the air *Bethesda added a 'Teleport to dungeon entrance' button in the latest patch, as a quick way to address people getting stuck/out of bounds *Several Totem options don't actually give you anything, such as Mannimarco not giving you any reputation at all The list is endless. Daggerfall Unity really makes the game just... playable. A godsend
I'd say the game is playable in its normal state, although buggier, but I may just prefer it because I really don't like daggerfall unity's weird combo of original daggerfall textures with modern lighting.
Actually I think Dodge makes enemies have a higher chance to hit you, rather than the inverse, in the OG DOS Daggerfall. Neither one of those things are worth dealing with, though.
Don't you mean slap the silly back *into* Jygallag? TBH there should have been a Snickers bar commercial of him paired w/ the Shivering Isles DLC. Jygallag: *begins the Greymarch* Haskill: "Here m'lord, partake in this most delightful Snickers." Jygallag: "WHY!?" Haskill: "Because you're not at all yourself when you're hungry." Jygallag: *eats Snickers* Haskill: "Feeling better, m'lord?" Sheogorath: "Much better. Thank you, Haskie." *proceeds to scream about cheese and dismembered eyeballs*
"Ambient nudity" - now here's something I definitely didn't have on my bingo card. Damn it. "Take the stairs. But if they're to heavy, just climb them." xD "Take the door on your left. If it's to heavy, just open it and go through." - I love this "protest" against linguistic logic
Love a good daggerfall video! For anyone thinking about getting into the game, really consider making your own class! This game is absolutely brutal when it comes to poison, paralyzation, and diseases, and a custom class can null all of them!
44:15 You make a joke about the voice of King Lysandus and the Narrator being voiced by "Dave in the Bethesda Sales Department" but thats actually Julian Jensen/Lafey, Father of the Elder Scrolls and Lead Director on both Arena and Daggerfall!
Hand-to-hand is so unique that not only it can damage ghosts and enemies immune to weapon tiers, but also Fighters Guild does not recognize it as a weapon. Having high h2h but not other weapon skills, FG will not let them join them because they wont allow people that "can't fight". Also Medicine not only increases hp regen when resting (and its better than you think as all quests have a time limit), it also shortens the time for character to recognize that you contracted a disease or get poisoned. All diseases in the game are lethal, if you don't treat them in time and fast travel anywhere you just drop dead on arrival. Poisons slowly chip your hp bar away until you drop dead as well.
Unfortunately Medical quickly becomes a chore to level up because it requires several in-game years for you to sleep through. It's one of the skills you always have to train with the trainers, or else it'll be stuck in low 10s for the rest of the game. On most of my characters with 100s of hours it was always underleveled.
@@JustBackgroundNoise I think the public story is that Zurin heroically sacrificed himself or something but there are many versions, including the one where Wulfharth and Septim turn on Zurin Arctus and feed his soul to the Mantella.
One of the public stories is that, after winning his major wars, Tiber kept using the Numidium for increasingly petty rebel-crushing, which Zurin didn't approve, so to stop this he attacked and shattered the Numidium. Which would mean that technically Zurin did rebel against the emperor and therefore betrayed him, but, really, the emperor betrayed Zurin's trust first by misusing the Numidium. (though one might argue that its intended use wasn't much more humane or moral, either)
@@agihammerthief8953yeah, honestly believing the superweapon of that magnitude would only be used as threat for peace was honestly naive of him, but in that interpretation what would become under king was definitely in the right Plus, depending on which parts of The Real Barenziah are *actually* true, would be far from only time Tiber was a ahole about things
Ahhh, Daggerfall my beloved. And one of the most digestible portrayals of the MSQ dungeons to boot! :u I like the main quests on paper - the intermingling politics of the Bay is a really interesting concept - but as you said, the low points can get pretty rough. It’s easy to see why the guilds and sidequesting take so much of the spotlight, since I think the game’s a lot more fun when you’re creating your own character and your own story to tell.
I absolutely love Daggerfall, the Unity engine specifically. Being on Unity makes modding incredibly easy for modders and players. Depending on your level of mods the game can be anywhere from a fancy RPG to a full on fantasy life simulator, you can really lose yourself in this game
Love that you keep it real with all the level-design criticism of the older games. Too many people are nostalgia-coded to ignore the flaws of daggerfall because they've played through it so many times and just don't notice. I would love to see more daggerfall on this channel.
Man you must be in very different circles than me lol, I've literally never seen a single person who played daggerfall before any of the other games, never seen anyone say the level design in that game is good either lol all ive ever seen is "its a janky convoluted mess but thats the charm of it."
I love that chipmunk became a recurring hero through our elder scrolls adventures, fisting his way through prophecies and bandits alike. Go chipmunk go !
25:53 lol, there's something wonderfully dark about using a hostile zombie as your personal courier. Like he knows it probably won't kill you and he doesn't really care about collateral damage, so he just straps the letter to a piece of angry flesh and sends it in your direction. Probably ate a few villagers along the way, no big deal.
I love daggerfall so much. It's always a good day when there's a new DF video. My mom was diagnosed with cancer yesterday and I really needed this. Thanks brother.
Its an awful thing, I lost my dad to it like 15 years ago. A little optimism, a lot of forms of cancer are perfectly treatable today, so hopefully things work out for you
20:00 The letter was addressed to "The Queen of Daggerfall." Emperor didn't put the name on, just the title. When it arrived, Lysandus had been killed and the Queen was now Aubk-i, not Mynisera. Mini-Sarah. Meany Sarah.
It really is such an Emperor thing to forget the name of some random mistress who entertained him decades ago, who also turned into a queen in some backwater, insignificant county that somehow ends up housing the Super McGuffin he desperately needs to maintain his power over the land.
@@1thevm1 I mean, she was the wife of "[...] as great and loyal a subject, ally, and friend to me as you are." (To the player character). And he explicitly name drops Queen Mynisera when sending the player on his quest: "Several years ago, I sent a letter to Lysandus’ Queen Mynisera."
2:30 >Critical Strike & Dodging are Random. No, they are not! They gain experience every time you hit (Critical Strike) or get hit (Dodging), even if you don't actually dodge. You can see this for yourself if you install the Viewable Skill Progress mod from the Daggerfall Unity Nexus.
I kind of like how weird the final dungeon is. It fits the idea of a realm of gods that goes beyond the understanding of mortals. But from a gameplay perspective it is agonizing. I can't imaging someone beating it without a guide.
Another stellar video JBN! "What I'm gonna did to him" had me rolling, love how you write these :) Keep up the great work but remember to be patient with yourself and drink lots of water!!
Manninarcos boon of fame didn't work in the original game, but it's fixed in Unity. It gives you 100 rep with every Provence, npc, guild faction. It's useful because, if you want to tinker with dark brotherhood, witches covens, daedric summoning, etc., you can join any faction and immediately ascend to rank 10 after 30 days and get all perks the faction offers (since your stats and skills are already at the minimum requirements since you already beat the damn game). It's pretty fun if you care about post game antics.
Not me having recently watched Jwlars retrospective for the 4th time as 2nd monitor fodder when JBN drops a banger worthy of my first monitor Honestly love how you manage to intertwine storylines and tell them, mixed with comedy, long form content, great editing and what not. Absolutely deserving your meteoric rise in popularity!
@@JustBackgroundNoise Arena is surprisingly playable with mods already. Get the dosbox config that changes the controls if you're not holding a modifier key, and up the CPU speed (every official pre-configged release has the CPU *way* too slow so the game is perma lagged.). The real challenge run for Arena is playing a non-mage and not casting 0 magicka spells (Arena is the only game where that's possible, and virtually all the non-attack options for that are broken), or playing a mage without using the spellmaker (almost all the premade spells are terrible).
@@kanrakucheeseyep, Arena is surprisingly playable. I finished the game several times on doxbox, with the keymapper mod, and some visual ones. It also has a nice atmosphere, sometimes feels like a horror game
I have a full playthrough with just the regular steam version without any mods or config edits, running the game on its own on my channel using Windows 10. It is very playable!
Can you beat Morrowind as a Rogue Ordinator? *Must use Ordinator NPC class. *Can only wear Indoril and Her Hand's Armor, can only wield the Ebony Mace, Ebony Scimitar and Trueflame (since the Ebony Scimitar is an obvious imitation of Trueflame). *Must join the Temple and rise to the rank of Archcanon. *Must aggro as many Ordinators as possible by wearing their armor, but cannot fight back in self defence.
17:27 I'll wait here, in the place where I live and work, for the oddly specific time limit of 149 days, for you to kill one werewolf for me. It's not urgent, but don't take too long.
I love the weird dissonance between delivering instructions in plain english and attempting to sound natural, only to end with the most arbitrary video-gamey time limit on the task you've been given.
Wow. that last bit was wild, I mean kudos to the developers for really wanting to go hogwild like that but I don't know how fun it would actually be to play through it myself :D
Same Ive seen gameplay footage of this game myself and it didnt impress me very much, but that last dungeon segment was crazy and I really wish later TES games would go out of their way to just go nuts on the final dungeons.
Seeing the Unity version of Daggerfall actually makes me wanna give it a try. I'm an old fart who really loves Morrowind, but even I couldn't stomach the original Daggerfall when I first tried it.
I know you were kidding, but I'd absolutely watch a "Quick Retrospective" done by you. I could always use more 6 hour video essays to listen to while doing housework.
Been subbed for a couple months now, and I gotta say I love this content. Great to listen to and watch while at work, or just doing chores around the house. Even better when its games I know about so I dont inherently have to watch. The commentary is golden and I just appreciate the work that goes into these videos. Thanks for your entertainment and work JBN.
There is a funny bug in the DOS version - mages spam spells without delay (due to a fast processor), and every fight with mages (especially liches and vampires) turns into a one-shot fest. Beautiful video, as always.
Thank you for taking me on a tour through Daggerfall, JBN. I was lucky enough to enjoy Morrowind as it was released as my first Elder Scroll and can replay it at the drop of a hat, but at this point I don't think I could manage Daggerfall without those thick rose-tinted glasses. I feel like this is just as fine a way to experience it.
Nulfaga had a dragon who served her named Skakmat. Now, think about how crazy that is. A living dragon somehow became the servant of a mortal woman. Apparently he adopted a new name as Skakmat is not even close to a traditional dragon name. Perhaps he took on a name that mortals referred to him as, like Nahfahlaar became Nafaalilargus. Or, seeing as how so few people know about him, Nulfaga is the one who called him that. No one knows where Skakmat went. The last place he's known to have been was Cryngaine Field during the climactic final battle between Sentinel and Daggerfall covering the place in fog so Lysandus could fake his death. After that he vanished. And clearly Nulfaga's not gonna tell anyone where he went. She can barely tell anyone the time of day without it being a three layered riddle.
I have heard that the last dungeon was so convoluted in order to get you to buy the guide for the game. Having played it myself, must say, I believe it.
I've been waiting for more Daggerfall since your first Daggerfall stream! I'm gonna get comfy while I recover from surgery and enjoy this one. Absolutely perfect timing.
Lhotun's quest is always my favourite part of the story. It really underlines the Shakespearean inspiration of the game. Tragically stupid and cruel nobility.
I would argue that Monks are incredibly mystical. An alternate name for real life monks is literally "mystics". Russia had a very famous one with a very famous... Member. Mysticism seems right up their alley.
Russian monastic tradition, in general, is fascinating when compared to western religious traditions. Said monk belonged to a sect that believed the only path to purity was to commit all sins, cleansing oneself of the desire to commit them. To this end, he bedded a large percentage of the tzar’s court. In addition, Russia had a longstanding hermetic tradition wherein a single monk lived an even more humble life than the rest in the monastery, living essentially a prison life of minimal bread, water, a board to sleep on, and prayer. Some believed this lifestyle to allow them greater spiritual sight than others.
The nonsense of the final dungeon does look terrible but also makes it look like it would be a unique, memorable experience that would feel very satisfying to conquer. It’s a dungeon, it’s not meant to be fair to the person attempting to defeat it. I never played this but I imagine little kid me who just accepted whatever was in front of me for what it was and apathetically persevered through would’ve loved it, assuming I figured out how to actually beat it.
Just wanted to comment that I continue to love your videos and look forward to whatever you put out next, your style is the perfect mix of calm, insightful, and funny. Congrats on 100k!
Arguably no one has the blood of Tiber Septim, since his only surviving offspring was his grandchild Pelagius, who himself died childless. The Imperial Septims are all descended from his brother. But really, I think the easiest explanation is just that the Septims are really just that interconnected with the local royalty that yes, all of them have Septim blood, including Gortwog. Mannimarco and Zurin obviously don't count, presumably they're just that magically powerful they can override what the totem wants. The Totem might even recognize that the Underking is actually Tiber himself, in a sense.
A week ago my girlfriend asked me if I could put on some background noise, so I put on one of your videos and now we fall asleep to one every night 😂 Also, the Jagex sponsorship was unexpected but awesome. I usually skip through those parts but now I wanna check it out
There is also a pacifist option for Lord Woodborne, you can find his diary and give it to Nulfaga or the Dowager Queen. They smear his reputation across illiac bay and he's ultimately tried and executed "off camera". This also puts Lysandus' soul to rest
Im not the greatest when it comes to modding games so I never got to experience the amazing UNITY version of this game until today! GOG has a free, pre-built version with TONS of mods.. I still havent managed to get out of the starter dungeon lmao. I highly recommend the GOG version, it has modern controls, new lighting, its a WHOLE NEW GAME.
The system where enemies respawn instantly if you reenter the dungeon is also in Morrowind, but the main difference I have found is you require t dispose of the corpse first then it'll reset.
20:37 Ah, man! Not the IRL notification message with a reminder on my credit card loan payment overlapping Daggerfall notification, reminding JBN that his in-game loan is due 😭 Worst timing 10 immersion breaks out of 10
Apparently there's dialogue in Daggerfall that suggests if you fail to pay your loan back enforcers will be sent after you This never happens Imagine if Daggerfall banks could foreclose your player house, seize your horse or, if we're going full medieval, throw you in debtor's prison
Oh hey, that werewolf dungeon was where I got turned into one myself, I had no idea why there were werewolves in the dungeon because I was not sent there to kill them, and I noticed the disease pop up every time I tried to rest to recover health… but now my stats are very high and I feel very powerful.
There are temples of every religious faction in every region, but there are only SETTLEMENTS of a given religious faction in the region where that temple is dominant. Kind of confusing, but you can ask random townspeople for "Any Temple of X" and they'll tell you all the cities in the region that have temples of that God. I also really recommend picking up 'Persistent Dungeons' and 'Climates and Calories' mods to make dungeoneering more logical and less tedious
Love that the intro to all your videos lately involve some roundabout way to explain the situations you get into in a way that is lore based, honestly really adds to the charm I love it
DAGGERFALL! I actually just beat this with a hand-to-hand fighter, though I had the benefit of spellcasting and could just cast Recall. Made it hard for myself though, since I didn't look up guides for the dungeons... it took me three hours to figure out that the floating skulls can be teleporters
I think the undead evasion is supposed to simulate most hits just being ineffective rather than actual dodging. They are undead after all. Cuts and bruises mean nothing to already dead flesh and bone.
You dont understand the sheer value your videos have in lulling me to sleep. In the most complimentary way possible it is the most relaxing thing I have ever found on youtube. Also very entertaining while awake ofcource
Thanks for the videos, they do help me falling asleep and I am very grateful, I never played or watched any elder scrolls game as well so its very interesting to me and I end up finishing the video the next day after I wake up
Ive always compared the watering down of elderscrolls to the watering down of the Ultima series. I enjoy all of them and sinplifications arent bad inherently, but this type of game just doesnt attract a huge audience, and honestly with the recent bethesda blunders i really have little hope for TES6.
Maaaaan... i really love seeing Daggerfall challange-runs performed by you. Something about Daggerfall is oddly beautiful and cozy and i cant stand against it. Really hope there will be more Daggerfall adventures with some mods , cause there is a plenty of them to choose to flavor these rusn even more. Thank you for your content ! You making my work-shifts much colorful then they are.
Fun fact: Morgiah offers Manimarco "her first". Her first what? We’re never told but in The Daggerfall Chronicles it’s specifically stated that it is not her firstborn even though you’d assume that, therefore sending everyone’s mind straight to the gutter with the other obvious choice. This was supposed to play a role in the sequel Daggerfall, The Elder Scrolls 3 with its mysterious tribunal set in…The Summerset Isles! … …Obviously that didn’t happen, the Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind takes place in Vvardenfell and while ideas like the tribunal were repurposed, this wasn’t one of them so we’ll never know what "first" she was meant to give him, leaving everyone’s mind still in the gutter…
@@JustBackgroundNoise No, I was saying that since it’s not her firstborn, the only other inference when someone typically mentions "their first" is that it’s her first *time* and that is gutter-minded.
@@charlietownsend2826 Oh...I wouldn't have even considered that. The King of Worms seems like he'd be above such carnal desires. Also, Morgiah probably doesn't have her first time to give. She _is_ Barenziah's daughter after all.
@ That’s more than likely on both counts. It’s just the wording that only leaves few obvious choices. It probably means something mystical tied to the plot that was meant to take place in the third game, but leaving it open and removing the only other conclusion you’d jump to is just a funny coincidence.
Ahhh, memories. I actually missed the letter on my first playthrough (well, ignored it), and then spent ages trying to get the main quest to progress. So many ways to soft lock yourself :D. Note, this was when the MS-DOS version was the only one in existence xD. Took me till a couple of years ago with unity to actually play through it in any "decent" way.
The thing is that Alfiqs are just canon in general. Even if ESO would not be canon Alfiqs would still be canon, just not appearing in any canon Elder Scrolls because budget. In Morrowind (and Oblivion too) there is a book series "Dance in a fire" that mentions them.
@@iusemyrealnamebefore Yeah I'm glad for it. I'm waiting for the day someone drops a mod that lets me stack the Strengthens Armor enchantment, so I can play the game with just my accessories and fashionable clothing gear lol.
I'd reccomend people go read the book from Morrowind and onwards "Night Falls on Sentinel", its about Lhotun avenging his dead brother. As for how Gothryd got the Totem of Tiber Septim from Woodbourne, you can actually find a diary in Woodbourne's castle which tells the player that Gothryd and Woodbourne were allies.
33:42 Man. Would you look at that. What a beautiful tower. Hopefully a bunch of elf nazis don't try to blow it up in the 4th era to unmake the world or something.

There are many funny letter delivery messages in Daggerfall, I believe it was the Underking who sends a skeleton which shocks you enough to make you open your mouth at which point it inserts the letter in your mouth and leaves.
@@seadmurtis6075 That's enough of an anecdote to get a man through a DOS emulator.
I also like how it's implied if the player isn't even strong enough to kill the messenger, he's probably not worth Mannimarco's time.
I think planescape torment had a zombie covering in notes serving as a message board.
@violentbeetle2441 yes but only after they ran out of room carving notes on his skin 😂
I loved the "disappeared into the crowd" and then you turning around and there was, like, one person 12 feet away from you.
I just started a playthrough, and that was funny to me as well, because I looked around outside the town wall. ONE PERSON. I do a 360 pan? SUDDENLY A CROWD. It would seem their potions of invisibility all wore off at the same time, just as keikaku.
Ok, most people seem to ignore this little fact, but the dungeon you start in in is theoretically connected to a cave via a secret passage, which leads to the coast. In Daggerfall, you're shipwrecked and ended up in said cave which also suffered a cave in, which leads you to the only way out left; the dungeon.
One of the things I'd love to see World of Daggerfall do in DFU would be to make said cave, either as an exterior explorable asset or as a handcrafted dungeon one "pixel" away from Privateer's Hold, on the coast. The Shipwreck could be found, as well as the bodies of the other Blades aboard, and the cave could lead to a dead end which wold thematically be the other side of the Cave-in.

Some additional quirks to the DOS version are:
*Dodge is broken and reduces YOUR chance to hit
*Walls are suggestions and you can go out of bounds easily
*Levitate just creates an invisible floor beneath you, meaning if you cast it while falling (without slowfall) you can just die from fall damage
*You can use hand to hand to begin flying upwards into the air
*Bethesda added a 'Teleport to dungeon entrance' button in the latest patch, as a quick way to address people getting stuck/out of bounds
*Several Totem options don't actually give you anything, such as Mannimarco not giving you any reputation at all

Or cheesing the game with a classic exploit of infinite fireballs
I love it when the game doesn't communicate you got poisoned and you just die whenever time passes.
I play with critical weakness to paralysis, the free action spell is ceap and the advantages you can get outweigh the disadvantage
My favorite is making a pure melee, not allowed to use any magic, and then immune to everything lol. A big dumb idiot with a sword that's very tough 😅
44:15 You make a joke about the voice of King Lysandus and the Narrator being voiced by "Dave in the Bethesda Sales Department" but thats actually Julian Jensen/Lafey, Father of the Elder Scrolls and Lead Director on both Arena and Daggerfall!
🗣 🗣KINGLESS ANUS HAS BEEN LAID TO REST 🗣🙏🏻⚰
Hand-to-hand is so unique that not only it can damage ghosts and enemies immune to weapon tiers, but also Fighters Guild does not recognize it as a weapon. Having high h2h but not other weapon skills, FG will not let them join them because they wont allow people that "can't fight".
Also Medicine not only increases hp regen when resting (and its better than you think as all quests have a time limit), it also shortens the time for character to recognize that you contracted a disease or get poisoned. All diseases in the game are lethal, if you don't treat them in time and fast travel anywhere you just drop dead on arrival. Poisons slowly chip your hp bar away until you drop dead as well.
Unfortunately Medical quickly becomes a chore to level up because it requires several in-game years for you to sleep through. It's one of the skills you always have to train with the trainers, or else it'll be stuck in low 10s for the rest of the game. On most of my characters with 100s of hours it was always underleveled.
@@1thevm1 Just like in real life you have to go do medical school to get your certification
28:20 small correction, his battle mage didnt betray him ( the emperor), the emperor betrayed his battlemage
Oops. That's the public story, right? That Zurin betrayed Septim and Wulfharth, and that's why they had to kill him?
@@JustBackgroundNoise I think the public story is that Zurin heroically sacrificed himself or something but there are many versions, including the one where Wulfharth and Septim turn on Zurin Arctus and feed his soul to the Mantella.
One of the public stories is that, after winning his major wars, Tiber kept using the Numidium for increasingly petty rebel-crushing, which Zurin didn't approve, so to stop this he attacked and shattered the Numidium. Which would mean that technically Zurin did rebel against the emperor and therefore betrayed him, but, really, the emperor betrayed Zurin's trust first by misusing the Numidium.
(though one might argue that its intended use wasn't much more humane or moral, either)
@@agihammerthief8953yeah, honestly believing the superweapon of that magnitude would only be used as threat for peace was honestly naive of him, but in that interpretation what would become under king was definitely in the right
Plus, depending on which parts of The Real Barenziah are *actually* true, would be far from only time Tiber was a ahole about things
Ahhh, Daggerfall my beloved. And one of the most digestible portrayals of the MSQ dungeons to boot! :u
I like the main quests on paper - the intermingling politics of the Bay is a really interesting concept - but as you said, the low points can get pretty rough. It’s easy to see why the guilds and sidequesting take so much of the spotlight, since I think the game’s a lot more fun when you’re creating your own character and your own story to tell.
I absolutely love Daggerfall, the Unity engine specifically. Being on Unity makes modding incredibly easy for modders and players. Depending on your level of mods the game can be anywhere from a fancy RPG to a full on fantasy life simulator, you can really lose yourself in this game
Love that you keep it real with all the level-design criticism of the older games. Too many people are nostalgia-coded to ignore the flaws of daggerfall because they've played through it so many times and just don't notice. I would love to see more daggerfall on this channel.
I've never seen people be nostalgia blinded for Daggerfall. huh.
Man you must be in very different circles than me lol, I've literally never seen a single person who played daggerfall before any of the other games, never seen anyone say the level design in that game is good either lol all ive ever seen is "its a janky convoluted mess but thats the charm of it."
I love that chipmunk became a recurring hero through our elder scrolls adventures, fisting his way through prophecies and bandits alike. Go chipmunk go !
Go go chipmonk ranger!
25:53 lol, there's something wonderfully dark about using a hostile zombie as your personal courier. Like he knows it probably won't kill you and he doesn't really care about collateral damage, so he just straps the letter to a piece of angry flesh and sends it in your direction. Probably ate a few villagers along the way, no big deal.
I love daggerfall so much. It's always a good day when there's a new DF video. My mom was diagnosed with cancer yesterday and I really needed this. Thanks brother.
I hope she gets better bro 🙏🏼 stay safe
@milesromanus7041 thanks brother. She's got her first appointment with the oncologist Tuesday hope it goes well. Happy holidays.
Its an awful thing, I lost my dad to it like 15 years ago. A little optimism, a lot of forms of cancer are perfectly treatable today, so hopefully things work out for you
I wish you and your mother the best, I’m sorry you two are going through this.
@@Shmandalf Hoping for the best wont know much til next week. Thanks for the kind words, It really helps. Sorry about your dad. Cancer sucks.
The intro of the video is quite possibly the only Oblivion fanfiction to ever feature Raminus Polus
20:00 The letter was addressed to "The Queen of Daggerfall." Emperor didn't put the name on, just the title. When it arrived, Lysandus had been killed and the Queen was now Aubk-i, not Mynisera. Mini-Sarah. Meany Sarah.
The plot would've been _waaay_ simpler if ol' Uriel just wrote "Queen Mynisera". What a dummy!
@@rdrrr Not quite his finest hour, no.
It really is such an Emperor thing to forget the name of some random mistress who entertained him decades ago, who also turned into a queen in some backwater, insignificant county that somehow ends up housing the Super McGuffin he desperately needs to maintain his power over the land.
@@1thevm1 I mean, she was the wife of "[...] as great and loyal a subject, ally, and friend to me as you are." (To the player character). And he explicitly name drops Queen Mynisera when sending the player on his quest: "Several years ago, I sent a letter to Lysandus’ Queen Mynisera."
I was really hoping you'd say "I'll try to be very explicit with my descriptions. After I left the goddamn cave I fucking leveled up"
I'm proud of Chipmunk for managing to successfully cast DE-DIMENSION!
all i have to say about daggerfall is HALT. HALT HALT HALT HALT HALT HALT HALT
VENGEANCE!
Just reading this triggers shellshock :p
2:30
>Critical Strike & Dodging are Random.
No, they are not! They gain experience every time you hit (Critical Strike) or get hit (Dodging), even if you don't actually dodge.
You can see this for yourself if you install the Viewable Skill Progress mod from the Daggerfall Unity Nexus.
A monk having mysticism makes a lot of sense. Like…that’s what monks ARE.
I kind of like how weird the final dungeon is. It fits the idea of a realm of gods that goes beyond the understanding of mortals.
But from a gameplay perspective it is agonizing. I can't imaging someone beating it without a guide.
This is why you can have multiple save slots!
@@mightystu49 The full 6 xD
Another stellar video JBN! "What I'm gonna did to him" had me rolling, love how you write these :) Keep up the great work but remember to be patient with yourself and drink lots of water!!
Manninarcos boon of fame didn't work in the original game, but it's fixed in Unity. It gives you 100 rep with every Provence, npc, guild faction. It's useful because, if you want to tinker with dark brotherhood, witches covens, daedric summoning, etc., you can join any faction and immediately ascend to rank 10 after 30 days and get all perks the faction offers (since your stats and skills are already at the minimum requirements since you already beat the damn game). It's pretty fun if you care about post game antics.
Not me having recently watched Jwlars retrospective for the 4th time as 2nd monitor fodder when JBN drops a banger worthy of my first monitor
Honestly love how you manage to intertwine storylines and tell them, mixed with comedy, long form content, great editing and what not. Absolutely deserving your meteoric rise in popularity!
The zombie appearing outside of town with a letter from Mannimarco attached to it is genuinely one of my absolute favorite gaming moments
Yooooo Daggerfall! Ready for the Arena runs at this rate. B)
If OpenTESArena ever gets finished, you just might.
@@JustBackgroundNoise Arena is surprisingly playable with mods already. Get the dosbox config that changes the controls if you're not holding a modifier key, and up the CPU speed (every official pre-configged release has the CPU *way* too slow so the game is perma lagged.). The real challenge run for Arena is playing a non-mage and not casting 0 magicka spells (Arena is the only game where that's possible, and virtually all the non-attack options for that are broken), or playing a mage without using the spellmaker (almost all the premade spells are terrible).
@@kanrakucheeseyep, Arena is surprisingly playable. I finished the game several times on doxbox, with the keymapper mod, and some visual ones. It also has a nice atmosphere, sometimes feels like a horror game
I have a full playthrough with just the regular steam version without any mods or config edits, running the game on its own on my channel using Windows 10. It is very playable!
@@milesromanus7041agree, since enemies spawn randomly and infinitely at set nodes as you explore, the jump scare opportunities are endless
Can you beat Morrowind as a Rogue Ordinator?
*Must use Ordinator NPC class.
*Can only wear Indoril and Her Hand's Armor, can only wield the Ebony Mace, Ebony Scimitar and Trueflame (since the Ebony Scimitar is an obvious imitation of Trueflame).
*Must join the Temple and rise to the rank of Archcanon.
*Must aggro as many Ordinators as possible by wearing their armor, but cannot fight back in self defence.
17:27 I'll wait here, in the place where I live and work, for the oddly specific time limit of 149 days, for you to kill one werewolf for me. It's not urgent, but don't take too long.
I love the weird dissonance between delivering instructions in plain english and attempting to sound natural, only to end with the most arbitrary video-gamey time limit on the task you've been given.
@@Pyroniusburn
Like I get it why some quests have time limits but why this one?!
Super hype to see the jagex sponsor!! And the irony of getting said sponsor a year after you stopped uploading runescape is not lost
Wow. that last bit was wild, I mean kudos to the developers for really wanting to go hogwild like that but I don't know how fun it would actually be to play through it myself :D
Same Ive seen gameplay footage of this game myself and it didnt impress me very much, but that last dungeon segment was crazy and I really wish later TES games would go out of their way to just go nuts on the final dungeons.
It's a ton of fun if you go in with the right mindset! It's not for everyone though
When I figured out the crossbow thing I felt absolutely brilliant. I can't remember anything else about that dungeon.
Seeing the Unity version of Daggerfall actually makes me wanna give it a try. I'm an old fart who really loves Morrowind, but even I couldn't stomach the original Daggerfall when I first tried it.
I know you were kidding, but I'd absolutely watch a "Quick Retrospective" done by you.
I could always use more 6 hour video essays to listen to while doing housework.
"Take the stairs. But if they're too heavy, climb them." was so unexpected that I laughed out loud at the train station 😆
Been subbed for a couple months now, and I gotta say I love this content.
Great to listen to and watch while at work, or just doing chores around the house. Even better when its games I know about so I dont inherently have to watch.
The commentary is golden and I just appreciate the work that goes into these videos. Thanks for your entertainment and work JBN.
There is a funny bug in the DOS version - mages spam spells without delay (due to a fast processor), and every fight with mages (especially liches and vampires) turns into a one-shot fest.
Beautiful video, as always.
Thank you for taking me on a tour through Daggerfall, JBN. I was lucky enough to enjoy Morrowind as it was released as my first Elder Scroll and can replay it at the drop of a hat, but at this point I don't think I could manage Daggerfall without those thick rose-tinted glasses. I feel like this is just as fine a way to experience it.
Nulfaga had a dragon who served her named Skakmat. Now, think about how crazy that is. A living dragon somehow became the servant of a mortal woman. Apparently he adopted a new name as Skakmat is not even close to a traditional dragon name. Perhaps he took on a name that mortals referred to him as, like Nahfahlaar became Nafaalilargus. Or, seeing as how so few people know about him, Nulfaga is the one who called him that.
No one knows where Skakmat went. The last place he's known to have been was Cryngaine Field during the climactic final battle between Sentinel and Daggerfall covering the place in fog so Lysandus could fake his death. After that he vanished. And clearly Nulfaga's not gonna tell anyone where he went. She can barely tell anyone the time of day without it being a three layered riddle.
I have heard that the last dungeon was so convoluted in order to get you to buy the guide for the game. Having played it myself, must say, I believe it.
Never understood why people think the dungeons are bad. They are literally the best part of the game.
I've been waiting for more Daggerfall since your first Daggerfall stream! I'm gonna get comfy while I recover from surgery and enjoy this one. Absolutely perfect timing.
30:50 This is truly a Potion Seller moment! Hope he wasn't a rascal, potion sellers can be a handful sometimes
I dived straight into the comment just to write about it
Glad there are some people of culture here 🍶
I put this on for background noise while grinding in the OSRS League. Fitting.
Whenever one of these videos drops, I can guarantee that I'm about to have the coziest evening. Thanks for the good vibes, man
Lhotun's quest is always my favourite part of the story. It really underlines the Shakespearean inspiration of the game. Tragically stupid and cruel nobility.
I would argue that Monks are incredibly mystical. An alternate name for real life monks is literally "mystics". Russia had a very famous one with a very famous... Member. Mysticism seems right up their alley.
Russian monastic tradition, in general, is fascinating when compared to western religious traditions. Said monk belonged to a sect that believed the only path to purity was to commit all sins, cleansing oneself of the desire to commit them. To this end, he bedded a large percentage of the tzar’s court.
In addition, Russia had a longstanding hermetic tradition wherein a single monk lived an even more humble life than the rest in the monastery, living essentially a prison life of minimal bread, water, a board to sleep on, and prayer.
Some believed this lifestyle to allow them greater spiritual sight than others.
The nonsense of the final dungeon does look terrible but also makes it look like it would be a unique, memorable experience that would feel very satisfying to conquer. It’s a dungeon, it’s not meant to be fair to the person attempting to defeat it. I never played this but I imagine little kid me who just accepted whatever was in front of me for what it was and apathetically persevered through would’ve loved it, assuming I figured out how to actually beat it.
Just wanted to comment that I continue to love your videos and look forward to whatever you put out next, your style is the perfect mix of calm, insightful, and funny. Congrats on 100k!
This is like playing resident evil using the knife for 80% of the game
Arguably no one has the blood of Tiber Septim, since his only surviving offspring was his grandchild Pelagius, who himself died childless. The Imperial Septims are all descended from his brother.
But really, I think the easiest explanation is just that the Septims are really just that interconnected with the local royalty that yes, all of them have Septim blood, including Gortwog. Mannimarco and Zurin obviously don't count, presumably they're just that magically powerful they can override what the totem wants. The Totem might even recognize that the Underking is actually Tiber himself, in a sense.
A week ago my girlfriend asked me if I could put on some background noise, so I put on one of your videos and now we fall asleep to one every night 😂
Also, the Jagex sponsorship was unexpected but awesome. I usually skip through those parts but now I wanna check it out
I'm so happy your channel is popping off. Love your content my guy
There is also a pacifist option for Lord Woodborne, you can find his diary and give it to Nulfaga or the Dowager Queen. They smear his reputation across illiac bay and he's ultimately tried and executed "off camera". This also puts Lysandus' soul to rest
Im not the greatest when it comes to modding games so I never got to experience the amazing UNITY version of this game until today! GOG has a free, pre-built version with TONS of mods.. I still havent managed to get out of the starter dungeon lmao. I highly recommend the GOG version, it has modern controls, new lighting, its a WHOLE NEW GAME.
The system where enemies respawn instantly if you reenter the dungeon is also in Morrowind, but the main difference I have found is you require t dispose of the corpse first then it'll reset.
20:37 Ah, man! Not the IRL notification message with a reminder on my credit card loan payment overlapping Daggerfall notification, reminding JBN that his in-game loan is due 😭
Worst timing
10 immersion breaks out of 10
Apparently there's dialogue in Daggerfall that suggests if you fail to pay your loan back enforcers will be sent after you
This never happens
Imagine if Daggerfall banks could foreclose your player house, seize your horse or, if we're going full medieval, throw you in debtor's prison
I heard that Battlespire music at 14:18! I'm excited to see "I beat Battlespire as a Monk"!
Oh hey, that werewolf dungeon was where I got turned into one myself, I had no idea why there were werewolves in the dungeon because I was not sent there to kill them, and I noticed the disease pop up every time I tried to rest to recover health… but now my stats are very high and I feel very powerful.
There are temples of every religious faction in every region, but there are only SETTLEMENTS of a given religious faction in the region where that temple is dominant. Kind of confusing, but you can ask random townspeople for "Any Temple of X" and they'll tell you all the cities in the region that have temples of that God.
I also really recommend picking up 'Persistent Dungeons' and 'Climates and Calories' mods to make dungeoneering more logical and less tedious
You know your channel name is so apt because as someone who needs background noise to not go insane if I'm not listening to yt or music
I named my recent D&D character Gortwog. Imagine my surprise hearing it in this video.
the edit of the daggerfall footage onto the CRT monitor is amazing, holy shit. actually looks like it's on the screen!
Last time I was this early, the dwemer weren’t thanos-snapped yet…
Love that the intro to all your videos lately involve some roundabout way to explain the situations you get into in a way that is lore based, honestly really adds to the charm I love it
DAGGERFALL! I actually just beat this with a hand-to-hand fighter, though I had the benefit of spellcasting and could just cast Recall. Made it hard for myself though, since I didn't look up guides for the dungeons... it took me three hours to figure out that the floating skulls can be teleporters
Finding that lich is where my Daggerfall playthrough ended
I think the undead evasion is supposed to simulate most hits just being ineffective rather than actual dodging. They are undead after all. Cuts and bruises mean nothing to already dead flesh and bone.
Someone send this guy the Bethesda Colovian fur helm beanie they made
A Daggerfall video? So hype! I hope this does very well so you do some more. Hardly anyone does Daggerfall videos
“i’m gonna steal your uncles soul… er your grandpas soul…ah your royalty it’s probably both” LMAO
You dont understand the sheer value your videos have in lulling me to sleep. In the most complimentary way possible it is the most relaxing thing I have ever found on youtube. Also very entertaining while awake ofcource
31:56 to be fair im 99% sure those potions of teleport are also added by the archaeologist mod
Thanks for the videos, they do help me falling asleep and I am very grateful, I never played or watched any elder scrolls game as well so its very interesting to me and I end up finishing the video the next day after I wake up
IMO, ESO’s canonicity is similar to Brian Herbert’s Dune books; Strictly speaking, it’s the same continuity, but there’s also a clear disconnect.
Ive always compared the watering down of elderscrolls to the watering down of the Ultima series. I enjoy all of them and sinplifications arent bad inherently, but this type of game just doesnt attract a huge audience, and honestly with the recent bethesda blunders i really have little hope for TES6.
Yeah, she does indeed look very Morgiah-esque
Maaaaan... i really love seeing Daggerfall challange-runs performed by you. Something about Daggerfall is oddly beautiful and cozy and i cant stand against it.
Really hope there will be more Daggerfall adventures with some mods , cause there is a plenty of them to choose to flavor these rusn even more.
Thank you for your content ! You making my work-shifts much colorful then they are.
Fun fact: Morgiah offers Manimarco "her first". Her first what? We’re never told but in The Daggerfall Chronicles it’s specifically stated that it is not her firstborn even though you’d assume that, therefore sending everyone’s mind straight to the gutter with the other obvious choice.
This was supposed to play a role in the sequel Daggerfall, The Elder Scrolls 3 with its mysterious tribunal set in…The Summerset Isles!
…
…Obviously that didn’t happen, the Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind takes place in Vvardenfell and while ideas like the tribunal were repurposed, this wasn’t one of them so we’ll never know what "first" she was meant to give him, leaving everyone’s mind still in the gutter…
I don't think it's gutter-minded to think it's her first-born child. That's a pretty common evil sorcerer trope.
@@JustBackgroundNoise No, I was saying that since it’s not her firstborn, the only other inference when someone typically mentions "their first" is that it’s her first *time* and that is gutter-minded.
@@charlietownsend2826 Oh...I wouldn't have even considered that. The King of Worms seems like he'd be above such carnal desires.
Also, Morgiah probably doesn't have her first time to give. She _is_ Barenziah's daughter after all.
@ That’s more than likely on both counts. It’s just the wording that only leaves few obvious choices. It probably means something mystical tied to the plot that was meant to take place in the third game, but leaving it open and removing the only other conclusion you’d jump to is just a funny coincidence.
Ahhh, memories. I actually missed the letter on my first playthrough (well, ignored it), and then spent ages trying to get the main quest to progress. So many ways to soft lock yourself :D.
Note, this was when the MS-DOS version was the only one in existence xD. Took me till a couple of years ago with unity to actually play through it in any "decent" way.
every time, I'm watching like usual then _wham_ , hit with a sidewinder of a funny. "Take the stairs. If they're too heavy, just climb them." 😂
After hearing that final dungeon walkthrough, all i can say is "dont do drugs" has never had to deal with this nonsense.
I've just had a craving the last few days for daggerfall content and now this? This made my week.
I love the Alfiq Khajiit. ESO is canon because they are adorable.
The thing is that Alfiqs are just canon in general. Even if ESO would not be canon Alfiqs would still be canon, just not appearing in any canon Elder Scrolls because budget. In Morrowind (and Oblivion too) there is a book series "Dance in a fire" that mentions them.
@AleksoLaĈevalo999 ESO is canon because Alfiq's are adorable, not because it's the only game with Alfiqs.
20:33 If the town is called Warham, are the people who live there called Warhammers?
Hammerfell, daggerfall, its the empire of Equipmentdump?
Dude that last dungeon is so funny to me 😭 its like a mario maker level
Hold up, I recommended Daggerfall Unity nine days ago.
Suggested?
Demanded?
In any case, here it is.
Coincidence?
Quite possibly!
Daggerfall has been my favorite Elder Scrolls lately. It's super fun. There's also a surprising amount of mods for it
Thanks to unity for that one
@@iusemyrealnamebefore Yeah I'm glad for it. I'm waiting for the day someone drops a mod that lets me stack the Strengthens Armor enchantment, so I can play the game with just my accessories and fashionable clothing gear lol.
1:07
Throwaway jokes are such an art. And youre on your way to become a master :D
I'd reccomend people go read the book from Morrowind and onwards "Night Falls on Sentinel", its about Lhotun avenging his dead brother.
As for how Gothryd got the Totem of Tiber Septim from Woodbourne, you can actually find a diary in Woodbourne's castle which tells the player that Gothryd and Woodbourne were allies.
Funnily enough i actually love Aetherius. Its such a vibe
33:42 Man. Would you look at that. What a beautiful tower. Hopefully a bunch of elf nazis don't try to blow it up in the 4th era to unmake the world or something.
I can put into words how much joy your videos bring me. Thank you so much for them!
Will admit that having a dungeon set in Aetherius is a novel concept and I do like how weird everything is in there.
Finally someone not judging Unity
Genuinely thank you for bringing up the special membership package! Definitely going to make use of that.
