The recipient of every major "Best RPG of the Year" award, The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall revolutionizes the world of role-playing games, creating a new standard in 3D graphics and role-playing expansiveness. The second chapter in The Elder Scrolls, Daggerfall contains, literally, hundreds of hours of gameplay. Prepare to experience your new obsession.

Starting off in Daggerfall can overwhelm the senses. No other game has such a huge world to explore. Travel around a land mass twice the size of Great Britain, exploring dungeons, castles, tombs, and even alternative dimensions. Just to walk from one end of the world to the other will take over 2 full weeks in real-time (we actually tested this!) Converse with over 750,000 characters that inhabit this world. Daggerfall is a game that sets new boundaries with over 200 hours of gameplay. It's no wonder that it took almost 3 years to develop this epic game.

You can literally do anything you want and go anywhere you want. Join a guild and climb in rank to become a respected member of a Knightly Order. Become a spy and infiltrate the royal ranks, and even rebel against your own king. Become a thief who slips in and out of the shadows and steals the rare treasures of the world. There are six different endings, if you choose to play out the main story quest, but ultimately the life you choose to live will be a unique experience that no other gamer will encounter.

Daggerfall Unity 0.16.1 Release Candidate.

image

Getting Started

If this is your first time installing Daggerfall Unity, please visit Installing Daggerfall Unity and Other Information for help getting started.

Summary

This release is an improvement update for Daggerfall Unity with several localization enhancements and bug fixes. Version 0.16.1 is intended to be a stable release for general play. If you experience new issues with this version, please report to Help & Support on the Workshop Forums.


Release Candidate

Daggerfall Unity is in Beta no more! We are now entering the Release Candidate phase in the final lead-up to version 1.0. This is the point where mod creators should ensure their work is compatible and updated if necessary. If no showstopping problems are found in this candidate, then Daggerfall Unity will progress to 1.0 on the following release.

If you find a mod not compatible or broken by this release, please notify mod author on Nexus or Released Mods on forums.

If you are a mod creator and encounter any difficulties rebuilding your mod for 0.16.x, please reach out on the forums or Discord for help.

Unity Splash

Starting from 0.16, Daggerfall Unity will display a customised Unity splash for 2 seconds then load the standard launcher splash. Here's what it looks like in this release.

image

My reasoning for enabling the splash:

  1. I'm moving on from Daggerfall Unity after 1.0 and won't be maintaining a Unity subscription (which is currently required to remove the splash). Unity also recently removed the more affordable Plus tier which makes this cost prohibitive anyway.
  2. I feel it's important to normalise splash so that any future stewards or variants of this project do not feel like they need to pay for a Unity sub just to be on parity with the main release. Everyone is equal and you all own Daggerfall Unity now.
  3. Splash provides future stewards or variant projects the ability to customise start with their own identity.

Featured Changes

Daggerfall Unity is now feature complete. There are no major new features planned or in the pipeline at this time.

This may change as the project enters post 1.0 support and the community continues to evolve this project in unexpected ways. But for now, the goal is to enable mod compatibility and stability for 1.0. Every change has the potential to break something for mods, and we don't want to do that again for a while.

My character grinds on city guards for xp since some monsters have immunity with lower tier weapons. The guards will arrest you when they successfully land a hit on you. For added bonus try playing a ranged type character.

And some inns are known to have Daedric Weapons.

It kind of sucks how a game made 3 years after Doom didn't ever get official modding tools or a source code release.

None of the Bethesda games saw the source code release.
Trust me, fans would bury Bethesda so deep with bug fixes and new upgrades. It's kind a no wonder they never released a source code.
They should really, I mean the games are single player. Who gives a damn, give fans the freedom if you stop supporting the games.

LOVED Daggerfall, I just wished they could've implemented everything they (Bethesda) had in mind when they were developing this and didn't had to rush it. The bugs were pretty bad when it got first released and was never completely dealt with, but when you over look the bugs it truly was a fantastic game. The lore in DF is really deep and I love that aspect also.

Just remember when playing Daggerfall:

SAVE OFTEN.

Anyone that wants to play on newer systems can either use dosbox or a virtual PC

Also look for the fully made setup version with auto configed dosbox if setting it up otherwise is too difficult.

If they would port this to the ds or some other handheld, I would be very pleased. And I would buy it. :-)
