- Newer players whom have gotten used to easier titles like Oblivion or Skyrim see Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall is an oppressive title that is far too difficult to get into. So I'll be doing a guide on how to download, install, build characters, and get started with the game. We'll be talking about an easy build for new players as well as a broken overpowered build that makes the game FAR too easy.

Hey do you have a guide on how to map out an xbox one controller with this?
One of the major problems this game has is that you can not have a multi function button like in most modern games.
Float up and jump should all be A button ect also how do I get my controller from stop turning into a mouse that prevents me from being able to look up or down.
I seriously hate this games controls its infuriating because I want to play it so badly but I HATE the control scheme so much, also being left handed doesn't make playing this monster of a game any easier
I just cant play this game as it is its controls are too broken
Its always flattering to see people still playing a game you helped programmed 25 years earlier. lol. Thanks!
Thanks for the game!
My mother bought us copies of PC Gamer magazine in the 90s, to keep us from nagging her into buying new games, and on one edition's included disc was a demo for Daggerfall. Never got a chance to play myself, as I found it too complicated and I preferred Diablo I, Starcraft I and Warcraft II and other RTS games, however I did spectate my brother playing the Daggerfall demo for hundreds of hours. The gameplay, the graphics, the audio--all of it was so immersive and memorable. Thanks for making a positive contribution to my childhood! 👍
Would you be interested in making a video or being interviewed about the development of Daggerfall?
Thank you for your work on the game!
You're actually right, I searched Daggerfall on Wikipedia, and there you are in the programmers credits
@@soldierforchrist631 when I used to buy magazines in the early 2000s they even came with full versions of older games. That would have been heaven to you
A ginger guy in a full suit and tie giving me a breakdown of a nearly quarter of a century old video game I can get for free... I can finally die.
Maybe he's naked from the waist down
Bobo Ayame only if I’m lucky.
Awesome indeed. I felt like I was some C.E.O. getting briefed at a board meeting.
@Naofumi Iwatani is his nickname tripod
wow quarter of a century sounds so goddamn old xD
> People complaining about radiant questlines in Skyrim when they were done lazily
> Bethesda in the past: OOPS ALL RADIANT DESIGN
In the past it was however innovative
Entropy3ko it’s still shitty. Regardless of what time period it is. Dagger fall is literally terrible because of how everything is random and soulless
@@borginburkes1819 again but if you played it day one release it would be innovative as hell lol
I think a large game with a lot of stuff in it can get away with it in a way that a smaller game (that only did it sometimes, making it stick out more) cannot. Also, the radiant stuff doesn't come off as lazy given everything else in the game and how it handles the other stuff. Going from something very obviously written and thought about (not in terms of lore, but otherwise), and then suddenly being tasked with going to [location] to get [item] with barely any spoken words in an otherwise modern, 3D, fully voice acting psuedo-RPG sticks out. Also, DF's is less lazy, or at least, there are more radiant things per examples of radiant mechanic. That said, without mods, why play ANY of these games - so grab a mod then fluffs up the radiant-ness of DF, and as for Skyrim, Interesting NPC's and Legacy of the Dragonborn (etc, etc, etc..) are basically required (also, Morrowloot Ultimate with the encounter zone update).
@@xBINARYGODx That's honestly the biggest killer to me with the radiant stuff Bethesda did in Skyrim/FO4. Often the only radiant part of how they did it was the (location) to do (activity) for (generic set of written lines in most voice types). No changes to what occupies a dungeon over time unless it's something connected to a major quest completion (visit a dragon word wall before, then after Dragon Rising for a good example, or some of the other dungeons related to one of the guilds). Organic Factions for Skyrim is another mod that also helps with taking such radiant data and expands on it to stupidly advanced levels.
Daggerfall is the D&D lover's dream. I can't imagine how excited fans were when this game originally released.
Kind of. Sometimes it feels like your DM flatout hates you though.
@@johnnydjiurkopff haha so true
@@johnnydjiurkopffJust like real life!
I heard the original Uriel Septim VII actor died recently so this is a good way of remembering him.
@Naofumi Iwatani oh yeah you're right cause i saw indigo gaming post on twitter that he died I didn't see that it was (1939-2006) it was just to remember him my bad.
So sad. I really loved how he portrayed the character.
I had to reread your comment bc I was scared Patrick Stewart died
Your crazy the captain Picard dead ??? No way
Hey Zaric, I've watched about 70+ hours of your Daggerfall playthrough while I was learning web development. Thank you for the content!
This guy has explained things to me better than Todd can build a game engine
That doesn’t take a whole lot lol... definitely not Todd’s strong suit
‘It just works’ not good enough?
Talk shit but i bet you love his games
@@Hi-bb5lo Late but people always take mad shit on Todd. Even though if it wasn't for him Morrowind wouldn't exist. Same with pretty much every member of Bethesda Game Studios during Morrowinds development
@@Hi-bb5lo Lol I'm such a goddamn tsundere for Todd. I hate him but I love him. He is an anomaly.
This really sounds like a fun potential to make a kingdom building simulator. Rule as a King or Queen of Daggerfall. Heck, have an offmap crisis of an Imperial invasion too.
This game is basicallya more in-depth Mount and Blade before Mount and Blade was a thing. If someone came up with a game like this, I think it would be a game played for at least 20 years.
King Aria Mount and Blade has been around since 2008, and with how things look with the bannerlord beta rn, id say they’d probably go on for another 12 years
@@3b9x Yes i remember playin the crap out of it as a 13 year old who didnt have many games 😊
Can I just say, amongst the twelve thousand unkempt, disheveled TH-camrs, it's refreshing to see someone classy.
Great video, very helpful for a new player.
what does this mean
I'm a indie game developer & I'm developing a post apocalyptic (something like fallout NV) game that is heavily inspired by daggerfall & I gotta say as someone who doesn't know too much about daggerfall I keep gravitating towards your content to learn. another hidden gen found. thank you sir
Oh, more details please! "Heavily inspired by Daggerfall" are four of the most wonderful words in game development language!!
Just the fact that Everything is well Edited and Organized plus the intro with the music playing softly in the background gave me chills. I've been meaning to get into the older Elder Scrolls games including Daggerfall ever since I played Skyrim for the first time as a kid back in 2011 so Thank you for this super informative guide.
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Your passion is infectious. You give this game the attention it deserves, and I really appreciate that.
Daggerfall, the "why do they hate me?" game
This feels like a uni professor giving a presentation to a Bethesda Course, guess this is freshman's year.
The community has done so much more for Bethesda's games than Bethesda ever has.
Makes you wonder why Bethesda hasn’t hired these nerds.
Because it is easier and cheaper to just re-re-re-re-release Skyrim. Only do bare minimum of work and bank on the community to add and fix shit for free.
Just spent a half hour creating my first character and got killed by the first rat. This is going to be great. I’ll try again after finals
I installed OpenMW last week and have been having a blast with tamriel rebuilt. This video couldnt have come at a better time as i am working my way backwards in the series. Great video!
I found this channel a few days ago with the video of him climbing that huge mountain. I thought he was very entertaining, his voice somehow very captivating. Here I find myself listening intently on the lore and hidden knowledge of a game I simply may never play. Zaric, my friend. You are a very good speaker.
It honestly gives me a little bit of the tingles how well and thorough you've done this video. There's been something mind-capturing about Daggerfall to me ever since I first saw it (quite possibly from your own videos), but I've never put it together to figure how to get it going before. Thanks for your great work
I feel that mind capturing too. Let me guess, you also HATE skyshit.
Zaric a video much like this that you made got me into the old school Daggerfall and I've enjoyed it for a couple of years now. You have my deep appreciation man. As far as I'm concerned you are the manual for this game. Like some kind of....Daggerfall Manual Profit. Yea.
You have a talent for presentations. This video was very well put together. Great work!
Yes! A new Zaric video is exactly what I needed today.
If I can give one advice to Daggerfall newbies, it would be this: don't rush to do the Main Quest. It consists of two branches, each of which starts with a letter you get. These don't have a time limit, so make the best out of this - level up, improve your skills, get good gear, learn spells (if you're a spellcaster), join 2 or 3 guilds, get promotions (and perks!), and then, when you finally feel strong and ready, tackle that Main Quest.
And one more thing - save often ;)
Slight caveat; you need to answer the FIRST letter you get within a month, but that's just going to a randomized tavern to get the basic information on the main quest from a contact. It's the letters you get from Wayrest and Sentinel at level 3 and level 5 that don't have a time limit, I think.
In any case, travel time to both of those destinations from the Daggerfall region takes quite a while, even when travelling recklessly. So it's generally a good idea to make use of the inevitable in-game time lag to sort of... work your way in that general direction by doing quests in each subsequent region. You can't even travel to Sentinel in a straight line without a 100,000 gold ship, anyway.
@@OneTrueNobody - Indeed. The first letter comes with a time limit, though it requires a short trip.
BTW, as an alternative to buying a ship, you can also join a Knightly Order and reach the rank of Commander, at which point you get free ship travel... and free lodging everywhere ;)
Having your own ship is still useful, though, because it serves as a "home away from home" that you can instantly teleport to and from.
i remember playing this for 2 hours when i was in high school and morrowind and trying out arena, i started over morrowind and playing skyrim and oblivion at the same time, looking forward to play this thanks for the guide
Thanks for the tips man, I was constantly trying to fight the enemies and kept dying in the starting dungeon for hours. Now I know that I can avoid them.
I JUST downloaded Daggerfall Unity for the first time yesterday, the timing is great
Never watched a premier before, hadn't been excited for one! Thanks a ton, this helped me already.
You are an absolute legend, thanks for this guide!
Thanks! I loved the previous old video for Daggerfall that you've done and those about character creation and gameplay hints, but this is what I need.
I knew lots of mods and updates went through so I've waited a year not willing to get back into it.
Now I can! And this is awesome.
This guy is the fucking boss, literally.
"95 degrees" "Cooked alive"
Me: *Laughs in Texan*
Gingers are very flammable.
@@josipdruzic12345 Just like red barrels
Could be an issue of humidity as well, though I don't know what the situation is in Texas as I live in Sweden
Depends if you're from east or west Texas, though. West Texas and 95 is no big deal. Closer you get to Houston the nastier it gets and we'll, east Texas at that temperature with humidity is just plain awful.
His suit is actually flame retardent
Thank you for such an extensive guide for new players like me who are finally able to play the game after all these years. Appreciate the effort that goes into your videos! 🙏
The Unity mod is absolutely spectacular. I cant believe how much more of an improved experience it is!
Daggerfall is what got me into Elder Scrolls (I missed Arena). I remember just being mind blown by being able to walk around a 3d world. Also have fond memories of backing up the horse drawn cart to haul away the hard earned loot.
Cause of your Sas-i Redguard playthrough, I'm now here setting up for the first time.
Appreciate this! Had been planning on trying out Daggerfall for the longest time. As someone who only got into Skyrim I've been really curious on how much the series has changed, thank you king!!
Morrowind and especially Oblivion are a must-play for you then
@@Kain1805 this
Awesome vid man. Decided to go OG and get Daggerfall after binging your lore series. This vid really helped!
Oh hey, I was looking for a vid like this for the Unity remake. Thanks Zaric!
another great set up video. great job Zaric
Hey great video! Thanks for helping us Skyrim-playing lowlifes find such an old gem
Hey there sir, thanks so much for your video which helped me get into the game (1st time ever... in 2021... I know). You are making quarantine a much better place
Sigh... this game is still on my bucket list. Maybe finally time to give it a shot?
Thanks for the guide, I didn't even know DF Unity was a thing! Keep up the good work.
YES! I've been waiting in this for 5 months
How could you not mention the "SmallerDungeons" ini file setting? Makes random dungeons so, so, so much more fun IMHO!
Yeah that was a must to me I don't have that much time to spend in a dungeon, it's immersive but a nuisance for me.
shit, didnt know that existed thanks.
I honestly prefer them at the default size.
Technically he addressed that already with the locator mod. It leaves the dungeons with the default size but makes it so after mapping like 60% it just tells you where to go
@xXxMeGa_RaCiSt69xXx 420 same here but with the smaller dungeons setting i was finally able to delve deep into daggerfall and have tons of fun, the dungeons are still big, bigger than skyrim ones but they are manageable big atleast and you can progress without ragequiting for being lost 10 hours in the same dungeon lol
Imagine this man explaining and making this truly nicely explained passionately helping new players and Bethesda's out of nowhere releases daggerfall remaster with the skyrim engine so people shut up about skyrim 2 or elderscrolls 6
Is it a coincidence that this premiere comes out only 2 hours before black yoshis reviev of TES 1 Arena?
Hes obsessed he cant stop thinking about Todds Lawyer
Are you saying the YTers coordinated, or are you saying TES6 paid them and is about to have more news?
I love this game and always will. I always flip back and forth between Daggerfall and Morrowind being my favorites. Thank you so much for the amazing and helpful videos! Your content and streams have always been entertaining over the years!
I really love your dagger fall videos. you do an excellent job
Man, even just the first batch of info about the guilds you told us about are amazing! Really useful for my roleplay. :) Didn't know Priests of Arkay could be allied with the DB somehow!
i rollplayed as a breton paladin, he was pretty OP, most magic bounced off him, its a shame hand to hand has no trainer OR a listed skill for any guild so my monk could not join the fighters guild, also i read willpower helps with enemies from saving vs your spells but i had 90 and it still felt the same as 50
Thank you for the great video. Now hopefully even more people will get to play Daggerfall and wont miss out.
this video helped a lot for those using gog or steam if you are not sure where the game files are you can go to gog or steal, go to installs/downloads and right click, click on open file locations and trail the folders back so you know where it is, that was my main issue, hope it helps!
Thanks Zaric! Very useful vid.
This is a super helpful and well made guide, thank you
Thank you for this I am now about 20 hours in. Will likely being playing for life!
I ve been waiting for this video for some time thx
Huge and infinite respect for, albeit the sweltering heat, still adorn your suit & tie. Dude. I think we wouldn't be mad if you wore just a t-shirt. :P Stay amazing!
Excellent guide, all I have needed to get into UNITY version.
This is the perfect guide to Daggerfall. Thanks!
I really like how stylish you can make your character look in this game
Bro. Thank you, love the fit. Too much drip
Nice, the timing couldn't be more perfect. Was looking into playthrough arena but after a couple hours of setting it up, i couldn't handle the gameplay. So daggerfall it is!
I very very much enjoyed this video and am going to install daggerfall because of it, thank you (also I don’t know why but I never thought that I would see that particular color of suit outside of a vhs tape)
Great explanation & advice I'm really grateful 😆
i love your vibe man, ur dope as hell
He looks like my imposter
Thought I was the only one thinking that!
Identity theft, that's not good.
Thank you for the review~! This was helpful! Will be playing soon. XD
Got me finally movin on this gem, can't thank ye enough
Thanks for this. I've always wanted to try TESII
Great host, great content, one comment: The reflection of the monitor in your glasses makes looking at you very difficult because your eyes are two squares of blue light.
I will be getting DF Unity though to try again because of this video. Great collection of information from install instructions to mods, thank you.
It is always great to hear some Daggerfall tips from younger version of professor Emmet Brown from Back To The Future
I bit of a guide to the controls would have been nice, otherwise by far the most comprehensive and excellent guide for beginners of this game. Well done.
Tried out Daggerfall and used this video to get me started, turns out the box didn’t lie when it said prepare to meet your new obsession lol…
Great video as always.
I just started playing for the first time and oh boy. I had to make a blunt based healer in order to get ANYWHERE. Finding out resting was a thing helped a lot too.
Great video thanks!
Zhakaron is a gaming legend at this point 💯
Thanks Steve Brule, very informative...
What the hell, I was looking for some tips for Daggerfall, I just started the game. I've played Skyrim and Oblivion before and little bit of Morrowind. And here I found guide for 24 years old game that came out just 2 days ago :> Nice
I really wish he still uploaded all the time, I miss daggerfall vids, it’s the only game I play
This and a retrospect video i watched really really got me to want to play dagger fall. Even more after using the steam version that dropped recently and omg unity feels so much better outnthe box
Thanks Frasier's son. This guide was very helpful.
One for the algorithm, great vid
Been playing this and even though I started the series with Oblivion, I honestly have come to really enjoy this version of Daggerfall.
Never could get into vanilla Daggerfall, but this version, this version is honestly what I more expected Daggerfall to be. The reduced size in the maps also helped me enjoy the game a lot more too.
Literally installed Buggerfall yesterday evening and now this pops up in the recommended. Oh, the universe, why must you mess with me like that?
Excellently done good sir.
Thanks I'm finally giving it a fair shake. I basically built the character you showed but as a Brenton. Still getting my ass whooped (the skeletons are impossible to beat!) and can't find the exit of the first dungeon, came back to this video and saw where you went I swear I looked all over there but I'll try again.
The very first video I came across of Zaric was the old Before Skyrim Pt.2 Daggerfall, I have to credit him for many hours of my life spent in the Illiac Bay!
You really remind me of the 90s Sky One game show I used to watch as a kid :D
Just one comment regarding dungeons and guild quests: number of days to complete the quest is also calculated according how hard the target is from the dungeon entry. E.g. if target is close, quest can take like 9 days (travel time there and back + time to get the target). If time is like 21 days it may mean either that target is deep in the dungeon or on hidden place or on place hard to get to.
Also you can actually notice certain patterns of how dungeons are made. You can notice those sections to repeat and be connected to other sections. And, what is cool about this, quest targets, if located in such section, are always on 1 or few more places so when you enter the dungeon and you do recognize the section you can go directly to those places to check them (for person to kill/save, ingredient/artifact, whatever), saving time.
What do you recommend for a movement and exploration oriented build? I'm interested in exploring those aspects of the game for my first playthrough, or at least the useful ones.
Jumping and climbing, Floating, Swimming (endurance), Crouching
Skills: Athleticism, climate survival (4 terrains), look, sneak
Spells: Chameleon and invisibility, silence, flare and light, stat boost (speed/endurance/jumping/agility/strength), ghost form, levitate, shadow form, slowfall, stamina, water breathing and walking
Thanks.
I remember trying Daggerfall when it was first released for free, I found it difficult to get into and ended up just playing something else. Maybe I'll give it another go with this guide in mind.
Awesome video!! Daggerfall is an amazing game, and mods are very cool, I have a problem with mods, though. Some of them appear in the list, in the Unity intro screen, and others don´t.
Finally a new daggerfall ASMR video😅
You're a great video maker :D
Favorite youtuber.
Great video.
Isbt there any mod ( or movement in the modding community) that would change and improve mechanics? bringing it close to oblivion mechanics at leas? and/or change improve npc to full 3d objects?
