I need some help... i can't get through Privateers hold so i decided to cheat but i guess they won't work
i followed the instructions i beleive

Ahh cheating.. Tsk tsk tsk.. I strongly recommend you don't cheat in this game. The challenge is what makes it along with all other TES games fun. It's whatever floats your boat, though.

I'm new to Daggerfall too (assuming you, like myself, have gotten it since Beth put it up as a free download) and at first I kept getting my ass beat by the first bat in Privateers Hold. Now after three or four playthroughs Privateers Hold is a breeze. Stick with it, you will get the hang of it.

Just heal... a lot.

This. It takes some time, but really after 1-2 hours of testing stuff out, you'll get the hang of it.

Same goes for dungeons. After my 5-6th dungeon I'm no longer getting frustrated. Sure, sometimes it takes ages to find my target, but it's like I know I'll eventually find him.

Except for some quests.. Flashback to looking for my target for nigh on 2 hours straight, only to leave in frustration. When I left the dungeon..

Well, not to spoil anything, but you'll hate the game.

It's worth exploring even just for the loot. So what if you can't find your target? Fail the quest, it doesn't matter :shrug:

You lose 2 rep points when you fail a quest, but you gain 5 rep points when you succeed. I completed 8 quests, and failed 3. Those 3 really don't make a difference. It was worth exploring one dungeon where I got a dwarven longsword.

well... i just downloaded the editor, now it's uber time

Jaden: Do as you will, but I recommend against that highly... At first, it may be fun, but it will ruin the challenge and a significant (read: very significant) part of the ultimate fun. Worse still, much more quickly than you expect, I can almost guarantee you that the game will become completely boring. In addition, if you ever try to exercise discipline and go back to playing it for real (which frankly, you should), it will be almost impossible. ("Why am I running/swinging/hitting so slow? This is taking forever, I can't land a blow, I have no HP!" etc, etc.)

Cheating in difficult games is like cocaine; once you start, it's a royal PITA to stop. (That, and you'll wish you never started to begin with.)

Your call. :rolleyes:

Agreed. I'm (we're) emphasising for your own good (fun).

true... i just can't get passed Privateers you take too much damage

You've got to create a good character.

NVM just made a Redgaurd Knight who uber pwnz in PH

make a custom class once you have figured out the basics of how dungeoneering goes. The packaged classes are really inferior to a good custom class.

Notice that the cheat " ALT+F11 " is very interesting and a must remember for any Daggerfall player, as it is often the only way to unstuck yourself from the void or from a geometry (by example when climbing/jumping on a wall, if unlucky you can wall inside of it, getting stuck forever etc...)

If you have to cheat in Privateer's Hold, this game may not be right for you. That, or you really botched your class statistics.

Also note that there are some classes for whom Privateer's Hold is not really a tenable battlefield, all this means is that you have to literally sprint through the level, at worst you'll have to kill three bats and a rat; I just had to do this with a new pure-mage character I've made.

But yeah I can see how for a first time you want a character that can explore the Hold with little fear.
