When first released it had many bugs, which made the game very difficult for all the wrong reasons. Thankfully, a lot of these problems are resolved with the latest patch, but some problems do still remain. It is very important to save often, and to use different save slots each time to help prevent problems. It is a shame that such a great game is tarnished by such flaws, as it truly is one of the best RPGs out there. It is definitely worth the time invested, though, as it becomes quite easy to become attached to your character as he grows in skill and gains power and influence across the game world.
Those that prefer rogue-likes may also find this of interest, and I would suggest that all Elder Scrolls fans should visit Daggerfall to see how this became one of the most popular RPG series of recent years. As usual, we recommend DOSBox to run this game.
After unzipping contents of the ZIP file, you can start the game by drag'n dropping " Dagger. You needn't read any further, the rest of the information is aimed at advanced users. The game was supposed to be started with "dagger. See also "DOSBox notes" below. This installation is patched to the latest 1. According to Bethesda, this games needs 32 megabytes of RAM memory; this means the "memsize" line in the [dosbox] section of the configuration file.
Please give whatever you can to help us. I did not need to contact Bethesda directly about any issues. This was thanks to the regular supply of new patches available on their web site keeping me quiet! Information about Daggerfall is scattered between a hard copy manual which is not very comprehensive, an installation card and several on-line text files.
The level of information supplied with the game is disappointing. The user manual design and artwork is polished and in keeping with the fantasy setting of the game. The " Chronicles of Daggerfall ", the Bethesda hint book available separately, includes most of the information I wished had been included in the user documentation.
Despite the crashes and difficulty of solving the quests this game has such a vast interesting and well designed universe one can't help but want to carry on exploring. You can even try playing with an unlimited number of different characters and try different approaches and behaviour patterns. Once completely stable this game will likely be played off and on for months and months, may be years.
My recommendation: This game will appeal to fantasy CRPG fans buying who are interested in an almost unrestricted universe and like a difficult level of play. If the player also purchases the " Chronicles " hint book and has access to an on-line hints forum or news group, Daggerfall should be enjoyed by all fantasy CRPG fans.
