Come on in, adventurer and share your tall tales of what happened to you in the kingdom of Daggerfall today!

I started playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. today. :unsure:

Some morons brought harpies eggs into their home. I was call from the Fighters Guild to clear them out. Many feathers were ruffles within an hour. Right when I got back to the Quest Giver in the Fighters Guild, I was rewarded....... Indulcet. Okay. WTH is this? Can anyone tell what is this thing, an Indulcet? Nevermind, they are drugs. Quest Giver gave me drugs. <_<

I took a job to clear some wild animals out of a man's business, and my level 2 thief decided that he might as well steal some jewels from the backroom to kill time. I got caught by the police and even though I lied my way out of jail, I forgot to go back and clear the house. I went instead right to the bank to get a loan for a dwarven bow. Damn spider followed me there!

I accidentally clicked the rest button in a town and was banished from Daggerfall forever.

Well I still got em all yesterday, was quiet an adventure and very nice loot!

Got back to the Figher's Guild & claimed my reward, then after selling the spare elven gauntlets & cuirass & other goodies, I went to the Daggerfall bank to deposit my gold.
After that I accepted a quest to kill a Daedroth, this would be my demise. After travelling around for 2 days (Ruins of Ashsmith Farmstead is NOT THE SAME as The Ashsmith Farmstead -.- ),
I finally found the dungeon. Upon entering I ventured quiet deep but after my first encounter with a ghost, Chareos The Nord got paralyzed and bit the dust.

After a magic reloading sequence (ESC > LOAD GAME > SAVE GAME from before my dead) I tried again, avoiding the ghost. Another or the same one ambushed me 3 times again. Frustrated I still tried one more time. This time I encountered the fierce Daedroth and yet again I bit the dust, this time because Dwarven can't hit a Daedroth :banghead: . So after reloading I simply exited and ran with my tail between my legs ^^.


cheers!

I didn't really do much recently, walk around visit a few places...

Found an interesting dungeon today.
It was one of those rooms with the pit in the middle of it,
at the bottom were 4 dragonlings,
at least 1 of the trapdoors at the bottom of the pit were trapped.
3 of the 4 switches in the 4 magically locked rooms were trapped.
the 4th switch moved the trapdoor to uncover an elevator, first time I've seen that in a pit room.

also, got an orcish cuirass and left arm armour.
Looking sweet as now!

@Chareos Rantras: That's Daggerfall for you!

Quests in Daggerfall can get quite convoluted - hence......!!!

Got a quest to protect a groom who wanted to marry a woman, but another man wanted to stop the wedding. Went to the women's house and it was locked! The wedding was going to be in a temple in another town, so I went to the temple in the town where the woman's locked house was, and questioned the temple members. The 'dancer' had the woman's name in yellow (meaning she recognised it) and told me to go to an inn. I went to the inn, but no one had heard of her and she was nowhere to be seen. I then went to the temple in the other town where the wedding was supposed to take place, and was confronted by two warriors, intent on stopping the wedding! I dealt with them, but the woman wasn't there. I went back to the woman's house but the door was still locked, If I tried to pick the lock or bash the door I would hear the famous 'HALT!'

At that point I gave up. Went to an Inn to rest up and the groom left in the middle of the night!

Oh, got the quest to kill the sad Atronoche and for the first time saw portcullis in the dungeon! (Never found the switch to open them!) After a long search, dealing with Werewolves, Spriggin's and Orcs I found the Atronoche and killed it. Oh and I also dealt with one Elder Lich that initially killed me with one hit when it surprised me, so I performed the magic spell learnt from the poster above and this time fired up my 'Shadow' spell... As I crept passed, with the Lich's back to me, he kindly died - giving me some nice loot! (Thank goodness! Werewolves don't drop loot and Spriggin's just drop twiggy things!)

So another interesting day - with me being above ground for most of it - for a change!

I think Indulcet is magic, as I got a message 'Indulcet is broken' - I don't think you can 'break' drugs!

I got another quest to take a man to a woman so they could go to a temple! I discovered you get through the door using 'steal mode' , ie lockpicking the door, and no guards come. Anyway, I am told there is blood on the walls,and my journal tells me I am worried. I find the woman in the attic, who says, in so many words: "We should go.Go now. Go Go Go!'. So I 'collect' her and turn around to hear laughing and THREE Deadra Warrior! I am dead in one or two hits!

I am not very trusted now and will get blamed for losing this quest too. I will live with it, because that's what Daggerfall allows for. In a modern game I would be re-loading. But in any event, it's still frustrating that you cannot get more details of the quests.You have to take a lot of them on faith....!

Yup and loving every bit of it :celebration: . In my eye's you can play this game quiet casual in the beginning doing some quest of killing vermin
but really Dungeons need hardcoe people and atm I always get ambushed and those ghosts scare the crap out of me. :ahhh:

Atm Chareos The Nord is browsing the wares of Daggerfall (WHERE THE HELL DO YOU MERCHANTS HIDE YUR UBER SWORDS! :angel:)
and looking for some above-ground action( HALT! HALT! HALT!).

Brave as he is, he refused any quest that involves ghosts, loupe's or liches (just cuz he alrdy HAS a bad stomach)

Aaaaa another active day in the City of Daggerfall ^^.


cheers!

@Chareos Rantras, for good stuff the NE middle for good price the SW middle. I say no more.

Tonight I finally found and slew that problematic Were-Beastie of mine, which i was hunting for two days now.
Hurray!

I also rescued a princess from Vampire Lair!
Although i couldn't slay the vampiress.

Well done DevilStar, I knew you could do it! If we ever meet in a tavern somewhere in Lilac Bay, i'll buy you a beer....!

Thanks Humorguy

The amusing this is, that after that, i went to Fighter's Guild to take another quest and he gave me exaclty same quest, in different dungeon though

Im in middle of it right now.

..I think im becoming quite an expert were-hunter :toughninja:

I got to meet the king of worms today. What an honor it was. He was a pretty nice guy too. He even said "please" when he tells you to deliver a letter. Not to mention he did not sic his ancient liches or ancient vampires on me.

Your Guild Master probably thinks 'if it ain't broke...'!!!

Not everyone will get that type of attention from him when they visit!

I have to do this quest before I do the final Mages Guild quest in Oblivion to kill him, wouldn't seem right doing it the other way around!!!

I am still convinced the king of worms in oblivion is not the real guy... The king of worms is a frikin undying ancient lich. The one is Oblivion is... not...

I went around and took some pictures... :blink:

:D

Beware innkeepers where you didn't complete their quest.......

The one I went to gave me a quest, so I though all was okay again. He sent me to a person in another tavern and on going in and talking to this person he turned into a Deadra Prince and tried to kill me! I just about managed to deal with him and returned to the innkeeper - who refused to talk to me... Daggerfall isthe only game I know where NPC's hold grudges!

More skulduggery was on hand for another quest when I was asked to go get a lodestone and delivery it to a third party. I won't spoil it, but just to say I got the quest from an Innkeeper, got help from a beautiful woman who turned into a winged beast when challenged and with the benefit being a nice report to the Mage Guild! I nearly made a huge mistake instead of getting it right - but I saw the light at the last moment....!

Oh,and I have been in about my 12th dungeon and am amazed how despite seeing the same 'pieces' how different each dungeon has looked! The last dungeon had a cave system I had to deal with before I even found the castle! You think castle tunnels are hard to follow, try caves where you have to swim under water a short way (no spell needed) to continue along it for 20 yards before you have to take another short dip!

As my last post above,I am now in another dungeon to get a riddle so a couple may be married (aren't I nice!) and wow - what a dungeon this one is! How to describe it? Well, so far, I would say circular staircases and platforms! Mostly a large room with a central pillar and platforms going off to doors - or not reaching the door. There is one regular wooden door half way up with no platform. Door go off all four ways. These take you to higher or lower levels of this one incredibly large room! Many doors are secret so am being surprise by Flesh Atronoches and Spellswords! Not many though. This castle seems to be about puzzles rather than lots of enemies!

After my comments above, this has to be the most different dungeon yet! Why couldn't Oblivion had been more clever putting it's 'pieces' together!

Today I kept up with the main quest comeing close to the end. Well I was sent to this one duengeon to get this one ingredient for the main quest. Well I got lucky here because the mummy holding the ingredient was standing at the door. So killed him and was surprised that he had it on him. Other then this when I got back to town I found my first deadric armor peice in a pawn shop along side a deadric longsword. knowing that I would blow my whole fortune on it and not wanting to do that I waited until dark when I snuck back in and got my deadric stuff. I vist pawn shops frequently to buy painting and this was a big surprise. Well I'm going to contiue off with main quest now. more later.

By the way anyone know exactly how many painting there are? I have so far collected 6 or 7

Humorguy:

Have you encountered one of the teleport dungeons yet? They'll really bake yer noodle.

I found one of those yesterday. Kept dying and forgetting to save too. Ended up managing to map most of that one in my head because I spent so much time in it. I suspect it was one of the simpler ones of that variety. In some cases I could find both ends of a teleport before I even tried it.
