Well this Is the hardest game of my life the starter dungeon was a royal pain I died about 7 times...combat is fun though! I made it out of the dungeon at night.. Bad idea? well the magical tutorial guy says to go to daggerfall should I go there immidiately or do some exploring? We will see, I'm going to rest back in the dungeon till morning and walk to daggerfall.. Wish me luck!

I also really like the climbing in this game

Oh my god.. o.o I really like this game. I can feel myself changing already lol. I love all of it the city of daggerfall is wonderous and to tell you the truth I'm getting lost every turn I take. What I really like is the atmosphere, the little pop up when you enter building describing what is there or someone greeting you in their home it's really nice my imagination is overflowing I can feel the environment even though it's "bland" it's the little pop up that takes the cake I really enjoy them one of them when I entered a shop said something about incense in the air and I thought I really could smell it I felt myself enter the building, smelling the incense and then something unsuspecting happened to me whilst conversing with the shop keeper.. He asked me to kill someone! I declined though assuming I don't want the DB following me around, proceeded to exit his shop now I'm another shop, more friendly I hope and after that it's off the get some potions!

Shopkeepers are a source of work (quests) in this game, so talking to them opens up that possibilty. Innkeepers and other people hanging around may also offer jobs. You can ask people about work and they may tell you names of people to talk to.

As far as daggerfall goes, I'm level 12 and haven't set foot in the city yet. Don't plan on it for some time yet

well i ran into the problem that resolved in me deleting the game and reinstalling it... i have no idea why it wont start the install..

heres what i get when i open d:\

d:\DAGGER

ERROR: you cant play Daggerfall of the cd.. please install the game first blah blah blah..

d:\install

...

Illegal command install d:\DAGGER

got it fixed thanks to this launcher i downloaded. restarted my char because i had to.. im currently at a town named.. bargerly? and am about to head off for one of the innkeepers to retrieve some false gold.. hope it goes well when i play tomorrow.

If you have trouble with any part of the opening dungeon, there's no shame in running to the exit. That last room with an imp, a bat, and a rat can be a pain if you don't have some magic resistance, and I can't figure out why those three would hang out together. I like playing thieves with daggers, so I have a hard time taking on those skeleton warriors.

Also quest wise, don't miss meeting up with the lady agent when she sends you a letter. You can blow off a lot of the main quest till you want to do it, but that part is something that can't wait long. I don't know if you've hit up the shops yet, but click on different shelves to see their inventory. Carts are a very nice buy, and you can access them without leaving the dungeon!
