» Fri Sep 20, 2013 9:18 am I'm playing as a basic warrior class character, playing Daggerfall seriously for the first time. My goal for this playthrough is to see everything in the game that a Warrior can. By "everything" I don't mean every city, every dungeon, every NPC's possible quests, but rather I mean do as many plot quests as is possible, as many optional quests as possible, beat any non-random dungeons, join guilds, do their quests, get promoted, and generally see all the types of maps, quests, and such in the game.
So far I have barely touched the main plot. I've escaped Privateer's Hold, spoken to Lady Brisienna, and that's about it. I haven't joined any guilds, or left the Daggerfall province, but I have done about a dozen or so merchant quests, which have paid no more than $350 each. I've succeeded in most, failed a few, bought a horse and cart, conquered a few crypts, explored some dungeons that some of the merchant quests took me to, found a few maps to hidden non-quest dungeons (but I haven't been to any of them - they seem kind of pointless because as far as I can tell there's nothing in them that isn't in the dungeons that merchant quests take me to already), and gained a few levels. But the past few merchant quests have been failures - the last one took me to a dungeon that was too difficult, filled with paralyzing spiders, and at least one vampire that one-shotted me. I've also accumulated a fair amount of junk that I don't know what to do with.
So, I can't make up my mind on what to do next. The harder merchant quests are just too hard for me, and the pay seems miserable regardless of difficulty. I'm at level 5 right now. What would be more up my alley right now?
