Since Skyrim was announced, I've been trying to play through the older Elder Scrolls games in order. I've never done this before, and thusfar it's been a blast. I've never played Daggerfall too much, beyond messing around, so it's a pretty new experience to really get into it. After about a month of playtime I've still got many more months ahead of me before I make any real progress in the main quest

I've hit a bit of a brick wall, though. It seems that every time I try to finish a quest, I get the inventory screen opened to accept the reward. As soon as I take the item, the game freezes. Occasionally it freezes before I even get to take it. I've tried reloading games prior to starting the quest, tried completey different quests, everything that I can think of. It doesn't seem to be a save game error, and I suspect it would probably do the same on a new character as well, but I really don't want to start over after so much playtime or go through Privateer's Hold and a quest just to test it. I couldn't find anything similar to this after a bit of web searching, so has anyone ever experienced this? Is there any way I can fix it, or should I move on to Morrowind and unfortunately never say I played through Daggerfall (although I'm sure there's lots of dedicated fans out there who haven't either, even though it is a fun game)?

/\ Daggerfall is infamous for bugs. like even worse than an obsidian game.

Believe me, I noticed I was just curious if anyone else had experienced this. For now I guess I can move on to Morrowind, and return to Daggerfall if a solution arises, or if after a while I feel like starting over. Besides, I'm unlikely to be done with Daggerfall by November anyway, heh.

As a side note, I know it's not directly related, but I was going to try a clean reinstall. The problem doesn't seem to be with my saved games, so I thought I could back those up somewhere else. But where are my saved games? All the data I could find suggests they are in the SAVE0-6 subfolders in the main Daggerfall directory, but these are empty. I can remove them and the save games still function just fine. So where else could they be located? I don't see anything in any of the other files, either... I'm playing with a the download of Daggerfall from UESP (it's easier to get running on Windows 7 than my old disc). Anyways, thanks!
