Ive just spent the last two hours playing daggerfall for the first time. I appreciate it fully but wow is it hard. and the controls are a little bit flimsy for me. Think ill just go and play morrowind now. And i thought that was hard
It's hard, but it gets easier with time and wiki digging if you want.
Pop open the DOSbox config file (it's in the start menu) and find the line about cycles. Change it to "cycles=max limit 60000". The movement physics will be smoother, though your load times will probably go up a little.
