I’d be so annoyed if I was just chilling with my sorcerer friends making sure our pet slaughterfish do okay and some Irishman just shows up and kills me and the boys
Luckily the fish are still good at their namesake and might just hold their own without you. Live on fishies
One can't even dwell in a basement peacefully anymore
Yeah dying is annoying 🤷♂️
When beating a dungeon, you not only grow in levels you also grow in age.
Really?
OMG so true! Most accurate comment ever!
@@Michael-vm4bb well, technically, yes. Even if it takes you a few moments or an hour, you are technically that much older than you previously were.
69 likes. Nice. I won't ruin this one.
@@RockLeeOfTheMounties you can come back and ruin it now
Daggerfall, the only game that makes you says "I've been here before", "where am I", and "what the hell is this" at least fifty times an hour.
If you requested an audience with the king and queen and then proceeded to ask them where the castle is I think it would be reasonable for them to throw you in the dungeon
I've spent literal hours in daggerfall dungeons. There is no sense of foreboding in a video game that compares to being trapped in the bottom of a daggerfall dungeon. If you can't climb or use a levitation spell you can actually get permanently trapped in some "dead end" areas. I guess worst case, if that happens you can live inside the dungeon for a month as you learn to climb out of it, like Bruce Wayne climbing out of that pit in The Dark Knight Returns
This is why you become a magic absorbing high elf werewolf. Endless magicka and extra jump and climb skills.
From my experience, there are usually ways leading out of the drop, even if it’s a hidden doorway (which you’ll be able to see on your map). The only exception to this that I found was one of the caskets in Scourg Barrow not having an exit or a wall you can climb. I always make a fresh save before jumping into unknown areas anyways
I permanently lost two characters in this game when i was starting out
Or just use tcl
@@brandon9172 immersion breaking, Id rather work for it
And then he never played Daggerfall again.
@@Orzulth cry about it.
@@red_menace1829 It's quite annoying tbh
I never expected these videos to blow up. They weren't well received when I first started playing it so I moved on. I'll probably come back to it when the time is right
@@MickyD I’m actually kind of getting interested in it now, but it seems like everything might be just a little too big. Maybe a lot too big.
@@MickyD also I’m now replaying Morrowind, and it’s your fault XD
Whenever I go into a Dungeon in DF, I always stick to the right wall. Eventually, you'll get to the objective (even if it takes a while!)
This is why I end up playing daggerfall in spurts. I can only watch the windows 95 maze screen saver for so long.
@@nathanjohnston9762 same. It's fun but the dungeons are so repetitive and excessively huge
@@myopiniongoodyouropinionbadif it's not a looping hallway with a shortcut to the beginning eith minimal adversity how can it be fun?!
Alright, fine, *fine,* I'll download and install Daggerfall again, you don't have to twist my arm.
I hope you find your future dungeon objectives with ease!
@@MickyD I did not. I found werewolves.
@@bryanrippeon6199 Oooo werevolves are rare for me! Already sounds 50 times more interesting then my playthrough
@@MickyD I can't actually survive many of the enemies the game is throwing at me, so it's interesting in some ways, but mostly just irritating haha.
@@MickyD Werewolves don't appear until level 4 and are a dungeon archetype. They're fairly common at night in towns and on the outskirts of cities if you wait. You definitely want to be a werewolf, but keep in mind that means you have to survive the attack and get hit about 30 times to ensure that you get the disease.
Daggerfall dungeons really are a test in patience, added the chance the enemy or the item you're looking for never spawns, so you're left spending hours running around in vain.
Or when they spawn like, inside a cage and you just cant reach them. Fuckin only in Daggerfall lol
Clicking on the torch scones often reveal hidden areas, most of the time the quest objectives are in those.
We 👏 need 👏 more 👏 Daggerfall
It's boring to play, and a bit less boring to watch.
Using your map actually REALLY helps with dungeon crawling. You can usually see secret doors on the map as well, appearing as an unexplored doorway. It has a learning curve, but once you get familiar with it you’ll come to rely on it when finding areas you haven’t been to before.
I'd love to see you play more Daggerfall Micky. The game is rough around the edges, sure, but hot damn does it make some fun content to watch. I'm even playing it again myself because of folks like you :)
Holy tomes are always worth taking, they cost so much gold, books also help rob the general store's gold, as a matter of fact, if you rob the book shops, and sell it to general stores later on, you can make SOOOOOOO much gold.
If crime isn't your thing and dungeon crawling is, go to console, type tele2qmarker and you'll teleport to what you have to take/kill, I normally save before doing that, then I'd load back to that save after I done that, just so I can know its relative location, I won't blame you if you do that.
Back in the original game there was a glitch where all the enemies would spawn in one point. There would be this huge jumble of creatures, and none of them could move.
Those are the most terrifying slaughterfish I've ever seen
"Smaller dungeons" option in the engine is the godsend. Sure, less loot but quests are not nightmare to beat. If you dont want to use it, then Recall spell greatly reduces time returning to exit/cart.
those three pubs all right next to each other reminds me of my hometown. there's even a fourth pub around the corner.
Something that always bothered me about Skyrim was that each Town only have one Tavern/Inn. Where is Daggerfall has a healthy amount of them LOL. Even if they all look the same
@@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad well Whiterun has three, four if you count Jorrvaskr. Riften has three (counting the ragged flagon) and Windhelm has two, and all of those "cities" are significantly smaller settlments than most in Daggerfall. the town i come from is bigger than all the Skyrim towns i mentioned put together. i'd say it's about right.
@@facepalmization2841 all barring your patrons does is increase demand for competition!
I dunno if you are still doing this series but if you play daggerfall again there is something in the unity settings called like “advanced inventory grid” or something like that and it makes the inventory management a lot less annoying. (basically triples how many items show at once) Always feel bad when I see someone with it disabled and you can only see 4 things in your inventory at once
Cheers for the advice! It'll be useful for when I ever come back to this. Just trying to think of a decent idea for a series of it
@@MickyD in daggerfall unity you can turn on small dungeons
Ehem... There are mods for Unity Daggerfall... Hint hint
The mangled corpses after you kill an enemy looks hilarious
RIP princess.
I recall there being a mod for daggerfall unity that added a new guild called the "Archaeologists guild." Basically the biggest goal in it was to unlock the ability to have a locator mark some quest objectives in dungeons so you're not running in circles endlessly for a small one-off quest. Absolutely vital
It's good you grabbed the wagon n not the horse, cuz the wagon comes with one ha
also, consider becoming a werewolf, you have to deal with the transforming on full moons which makes cities a lil sketchy, but the bonuses are nothing to scoff at, and if you can find the Glenmoril Coven, you can summon Hircine for an obscene amount of gold and grab the quest to get Hircine's ring which, like in Skyrim, gives you full control over your lycanthropy, giving you all of the benefits with almost none the disadvantages (Werewolf hunters are annoying but they dont appear often enough to be a problem)
oh, and it's like wearing the Gray Cowl too, anything you do in werewolf form doesn't incur a bounty for you in human form, so having the ability to transform back n forth at will is op as hell
Half of this video was you being lost and it was GREAT.
I didn't know you existed until earlier today, but I already like your work, cheers
I enjoyed watching this, hope to see more. Its really chill!
I've played and beat Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim so I'm really enjoying these Daggerfall videos. I hope you make some more.
Still waiting for the 3rd episode :(
Mind you there is an eating system
If you dont eat at inns enough
You may die from starvation during travel
Learned that the hard way
Entire episode is him being stick in one dungeon
No le culpo la verdad, este juego y el morrowind me desquician muchisimo
The true Daggerfall experience.
Wow slaughter fish actually look menacing in daggerfall
the 3 pubs right next to each other are just mcdonalds, burger king, and taco bell doing what they do lol
This was a cool series Micky
Oh yeah, I remember this dungeon! I stopped playing daggerfall when found a giant stack in textures without a way to kill him or even be damaged by him after three new games in a row.
You cant even navigate with the angles on the dead bodies because they all turn towards you
This was great. Do more of this.
I was always creeped out by the slaughterfish in daggerfall. They look like demonic cookie cutter sharks.
Im a huge Elderscrolls nerd and know most of the lore behind the old games but this is honestly my first time sitting down and watching gameplay of Daggerfall. I have it but have never played it, i might give it a try.
I'm disappointed, I wanted to see the giant
Levitation and Water Breathing spells are essential when dungeon crawling. Thankfully they're also pretty cheap to buy (from the Mages Guild), and cheap to cast.
This game is alot of fun though its age really holds it back, if every quest wasnt just go here and kill a thing in an unlimitedly randomizer dungeon, i would love it, i much prefer morrowind but i do dabble in this game from time to time.
Sometimes the rooms and corridors spawn unconnected to the rest of the dungeon itself. I had the same problem in the exact same dungeon and I had to use console commands to get to the room because there was no way to get to it whatsoever. Not even a secret door, nothing.
That arrow at 2:16 though
"I cain't fight tree of them."
I legitimately have to use Tremaux's algorithm to find my way around in dungeons in daggerfall.... not that I'm complaining, once you have enough gold the algorithm is super easy to do.
My brother started and quit Daggerfall today due to some bats and rats and a skeleton.
It's a tough intro
Hording loot will get you nowhere. You travel to the most distant podunk provinces, take out the biggest bank loans you can in the capitals, and buy a ship so you can travel and rest for free. If you want better gear you can just loiter in a blacksmith's shop until he goes to sleep and loot his shelves.
What's the point in playing if you take the main gameplay loop out of it? Working your way up to a house/ship is part of the fun. If you're a thief sure why not, sounds about right. But not everyone rushes an exploit to gear up at level 1, some people like to play their games.
@@IronArmPanda The main loop in Daggerfall is not loot hording, loot progression, exploration, or inventory micromanagement. Money isn't particularly important for progression either. Leveling in the game is mostly a detriment until you progress the quest lines. If you level, loot also scales directly with your level so higher tiers of equipment are just as common as early game iron. They are severely underdesigned gameplay systems until Morrowind. Daggerfall is about actually surviving and completing the main quest, which is something most people never accomplish. This game, from Privateer's Hold, wants you dead and actively screens non-optimized builds. You're welcome to roleplay in Daggerfall but having the entire game world and quests being unrestricted RNG defeats that form of traditional progression. In addition, it is often impossible to meet the strict time limits on the stories if you follow traditional rules. The original unpatched game was impossible to finish without access to teleportation magic. At that point you're passively encouraged to exploit the systems as much as possible. This is also the same way the main quests lead you: You're an agent manipulating the politics of the regions to advance agendas. If you follow the normal RPG progression archetypes you will always run into a mechanical dead end.
@@IronArmPanda What main gameplay loop?
@@phantomspaceman "money isn't important for progression" isn't exactly correct, here. Ever made a spell that instantly kills anything? It's expensive. And so is enchanting. Each item I made cost about 50000 gold, but it was worth it. For the progression. Because now restoration spells and destruction spells only cost 5 magicka, no matter how hard to cast they may be. I have a spell that regens all of my health every tick for 25 IRL minutes, another that instantly kills anything I touch, and another that not only does enough damage to kill literally anything in the game instantly, but it also does that damage every tick for 400 ticks.
@@nathanjohnston9762 Acquire Daedric Legendaries from witch covens, dab on mages, buy scrolls from the nerds.
Lets get some more Daggerfall goin. They have a dungeon simplification mod now which takes off around ~50% of each dungeon.
There is an exploit that lets you teleport from room to room....It shouldn't have to be that way. The dungeons are FAR too big. You can get a recall spell to warp back to the start, but that doesn't mean much if you can't even find the objective.
Am I the only person that thinks that's the most useful interior map in any TES game ever, and the complete opposite of confusing?
Yes. Yes you are.
@@TheMegaRin It's a far better map than the unreadable mangled mess of pixels you get in Oblivion or Skyrim. You can clearly see where the paths are, how they all connect, where you are relative to everything, it's literally just a zoomed out view of the entire dungeon. I genuinely don't understand what there is to not like about it.
@@superscatboy is it undeniably and objectively more useful, but it's also pretty ugly to look at.
@@sugoha_2548 The whole game is ugly to look at, I don't think the map makes it look any worse lol
@@superscatboy I personally wish this kind of map was in every game. MGS2 and the Metroid Prime series all used the same type :)
Protip: Right hand rule or left hand rule.
At this point I think the giant dwells there because he is equally as lost.
Edit: This is also very entertaining
Awesome video man!
I don't know if you know this but when running a maze you should choose left or right and follow that wall all the way around. Search each floor before moving on, circle back for stairs.
Edit: not my idea, it's been known from the early greeks
every day i wake up and still no new micky daggerfall vids
more pls :(
I know it's been over a year but can you come back to this?
Just advice for the future, as I don't know if you have seen it. In the settings after you launch Daggerfall Unity, you can change a TON of settings, including but not limiting to,
1) Allowing you to pick what type of quest you want from your guilds
2) FOV controls
and many more, those are just the two most important ones to myself.
90's CRPG's = make maps on paper or wander for hours
btw in daggerfall unity you can use commands to teleport to the quest objective if it takes too long to find it or if it's impossible to get to. the command is tele2qmarker i believe and you can teleport to the exit with tele2exit.
Don't overwrite saves in Daggerfall, you should always create new ones just in case
This goes for all elder scrolls games to some extent lol. Never know when you'll have to go back 5 hours because of a gamebreaking bug
Does this apply to Unity Daggerfall though?
@@glowcloudwheatproducts495
I shudder at the thought.
On the original (not Unity) there are only 6 slots
@@arnox4554 it applies to Daggerfall Unity ONLY
the fish look better than in III and IV lmao
2:16
Just casually dodges arrow
Damn I didn't know you could rest in dungeons, I just reloaded everytime I died, no wonder why it was so difficult
you have to play more daggerfall so i dont have to
Well, you should. It's free and a lot of fun. It even looks quite good with the D.R.E.A.M. Mod and there are a lot of quality of life options in Daggerfall Unity.
@@StabYourBrain maybe I will then, I just started playing Morrowind and the old game grind has me wondering if I’d stay sane playing an even older game
i would have loved this game when i was a kid if PCs werent impossible to use for 6 year olds back then
They need to put this on consoles
I dont get how people can say this game is better then the future titles.
Gold has weight in Daggerfall? Damn that sucks
Yep, so once you start becoming the fantasy equivalent of Scrooge McDuck you have to put your coins on a bank and then withdraw it when it's time for a big purchase. Daggerfall is nuts, some of that nuttery makes it really interesting and some of it... Doesn't. At all.
@@fpedrosa2076 I mean, gold and other coinage has weight in D&D, one of the inspirations for TES, so I guess it makes sense that'd be in earlier games. Too bad you can't eventually travel with precious gems and barter with those.
So about that next video...
Does your increased popularity recently mean you’ll come back to Daggerfall? I think it misses you
The characters in this game actually don’t look too awful for 2d pixel characters. I mean, look at that battlemage girl.
Whata a baby. Couldn't even kill a giant
05:40 *laughs as a mage in levitation* xD
Pro tip: Press ~ to use ultimate magic powers, cheats. Daggerfall is almost unplayable without cheating at-least once.
2:08 What? What did you say? What did you say?!
2:30 Slaughterfish are scary in this game!
You literally clicked on Morgiah in Wayrest, she has one of the starting main quests. The hottie in red.
oh i came at the 60,420 haha funny number
do more daggerfall videos
oh he never did kill the vampire
You can actually see hidden doors on the map
Continue this!
Did you ever rescue the princess?
Dude that arrow in 2:18 .....
How do I stop this guy's content from showing up in my recommended?
I wish I knew how too
2:32 subnautica
Cool
Just subbed
@@Smigmadoot Cheers man!
Imagine subbing because of that Daggerfall video and then he never made another one ever again lmao
lol @ youtube algorithm, like two comments from when this video was first made and the other 60 from the last week
Huh, do I have to do some weird magic to launch it? Looks frustrating just right.
Daggerfall unity is easy to get working. Runs like oblivion on PC in the sense that it opens the splash screen with options and the ability to mod the game, then it just runs normally when you click play. Installation is basically just pasting a folder into daggerfall and hitting "Yes" to replace all.
@@nathanjohnston9762 Thanks for clarification, I'll sure try it.
I can't fight tree of them...not tree!
Tree.
Can you pick this up again plz?
Please do more daggerfall. I really loved this game. One of the best. These Skyrim players know nothing 😁 I’ve played all TES games from the very start. I played arena a few months after it’s released on my Windows 95. Oblivion is my favourite, followed by daggerfall and Morrowind. As a player from the start I have to say Skyrim is my least favourite. Boring pish, hated the region and too many dragons. Not really interested in watching Skyrim related videos either. I love seeing these retro ones.
Over encumbered carrying gold.
Are you worth your weight in gold?
Do you use any mods for Daggerfall? Because when I tried it myself, the gameplay was more like in Arena than in the later games...
This is why I'm quite glad I got daggerfall unity, because when the game starts being a dick you can use console commands to sort yourself out, even tho it's cheating, it protects my sanity
A modern art style and simple rpg elements like Skyrim and this game could be very fun. As is it’s too dated and intricate for me. Real shame because id like to experience all the lore in these old games
1:38 red is sus
SHOW THE THING YOU COULDNT SHOW DAMN IT
