    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.

      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)

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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…
