Daggerfall: Veteran Tips for Beginners #3

The fullscreen mode option in Daggerfall only removes the UI, it doesn't actually make the window bigger (you have to tweak DOSBox for that)

I just want to know how much of a problem will me having to avoid Lamia, Daedra Seducers, and Nymphs at higher levels be? Everything else I can avoid with ease but will those three ccreatures give me any real gameplay problems and do I need to enter any underwater MQ places past lvl 10?

He's referring to the "full screen" option that you can see when the menu is called up, which toggles the HUD between the minimal version and the status bar one.

Well if you enter a place with nymphs you could always go back out and re-enter the place. They're quite common in my game, I don't mind seeing pixellated boobs which look more like rocks anyway :P

I'm not allowed to fight them so I need to avoid them. My question is will they (and Daedra Seducers) be a problem at high levels and are there any MQ dungeons that you have to go under water in past level 10? (Do you need to go under water in a dungeon for the MQ with a quest that requires you to be lvl 10 to start it?

Follow the right wall...

...Seems a little strange. Is there a logical reason for this?

Try it in your house. Odds are that you'll eventually end up right back where you started. The same principle works in buildings of any size. There are a few situations where that system could break down, but that's only if you enter a dungeon where the entrance is on a wall in the middle of a grid-work of hallways.

Woah this is new. A mages guild quest or is it a disadvantage you chose when creating a new character? :)

Daedra Seducers will be your biggest problem in high levels. You will probably see them a decent amount of times.

What levels? I need to know when to make a new character or is there a mod that can keep them clothed? Also, I thought that Daedra made up the smallest amount of in-game enemies you encounter.

Also, are there any quests in the MQ past lvl 10 that require me to go under the water?

Finally, how often do you run into the Nymphs?

Would it be a bad thing if I made it very difficult to lvl up due to this situation?

Unfortunately, there's no set pattern to how often you see enemies, or when. The higher your level, the less you will see lower enemies such as the Nymph and the more you will see Daedra Seducers. However, it's all random and because enemies scale with your level, you could still see Nymphs even past level 10. You can also see Daedra Seducers at level 4 (I have). It's just a matter of the frequency changing the higher you go. There's no set cutoff that I can tell you.

The way dungeons tend to work is a "common enemy" is randomly chosen. For example, in one dungeon you may encounter a whole bunch of skeletons. In another, it could be nymphs. Or seducers, more frequently at higher levels. That's just the way the game is... random. If you hear that sixy but deviant female laugh, you'll probably want to run away. There are no mods to keep them clothed. There is a childguard feature that comes with the game that removes some nvde NPCs, but it unfortunately doesn't do anything to the unclothed monsters.

As far as water in main quests, I honestly can't remember ever encountering any but it's been awhile since I've played through the entire thing. So don't quote me on that.

Ok thanks, can you send me a message if one is created so I can get it. I don't want to check UESP so that I don't know exactly how to do the dungeons and I know that you have to go under water with Direnni Tower and Castle Wayrest. Thoguh it might not be a huge problem if Lamia are very uncommon (Almost never, never, never seen would be nice) Also, as far as NPCs what NPCs does the childgaurd clothe? Does it clothe all the Temple Dancers, just some? The tavern woman? The people in the Temple of Kynareth or House of Dibella? Dancers in Witch Covens? (Some don't have dancers thankfully) Could I get a little more detail. Also, when do Nymphs, Lamias, and Seducers normally show up at and yes, thanks for warning me of their laugh but I knew that ahead of time. Also, are there any MQ dungeons that mostly feature Seducers or Nymphs (The MQ dungeons are handplaced). More detail would be appreciated but this is acceptable.

I'm not a walking encyclopedia of Daggerfall, so unfortunately what I told you is about the best I can do.

I can tell you that childguard is not constant. It does not clothe any NPCs, but rather completely removes them (as well as blood and gory corpses). And it does a terrible job of doing it, too. Even with childguard enabled you will still run into plenty of nvde NPCs. Sorry, the game is rated "M" for a reason.

I know, thats why I avoid them. I was specifically wondering on the temple dancer of the Akatosh Chantry. I seem to be getting conflicting views on that. One person says she is nvde and the other says that she isn't when childgaurd is enabled but yes, I do know where and what to avoid. Not too hard right now either.

Uhh... Why can't you see a nvde character? FFS the boobs are like 5 pixels!

Also you can kill seducers before they get naked.

Sorry, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I ever seen. Do your parents thing the body is a sin or something?

Look, you don't have to be rude about this ok. I just wanted to know how much of a problem it would be to play while avoiding those creatures.

Assuming Childguard doesn't clothe them, you could get ahold of AndyPic and modify the sprites yourself.

Ok, thanks for letting me know that. Now I have to figure out how to do that. I think avoiding is easier. Thanks for the help everyone.

Kaitou Kid has expressed no prejudice. He merely remarked upon his inability to comprehend why someone would be repelled by unclothed flesh, and asked questions.
