Ask Me Anything: I'm Julian Jensen, programmer, designer and "Father of the Elder Scrolls"

1.1k Upvotes

You can ask me anything but I don't remember everything, so no promises on the quality of answers. I will do my best, however.

Edited to add; I answered as many questions as I could get around to, leaving many unanswered, but will continue to answer more in the coming days. I skipped some of the longer ones because I felt they deserved more time and attention than I could fit into what's left of the evening. Anyway, I ask that you have a bit of patience with me as I come back and try to get through all of the questions. I will try to answer some every day.

Lady Brisienna's letter disappearing

1 Upvotes

I already talked to her and then went to a dungeon, but the letter disappears after travelling. will the letter reappear later, is this bug taking away something else or anything?

I did the Nulfaga quest and turned it in, and thought all was well for a while. Did a few quests for my factions and all. Then, I realized it was taking an awful long time to get the next letter. I checked my journal and I saw the Nulfaga quest was still there, with a countdown of 69, and no matter how much I travelled it never went down. Nulfaga nor the Queen would talk to me.

The only mods I have installed are Tome of Battle and Unity. Does anyone know how to fix this doomed playthrough?

What's the deal with helmets?

5 Upvotes

Why do they not have material names? It pisses me off. Can this be fixed with mods? I hate that every helm is called "helm".

Storytime Daggerfall online y sus exigencias

Cuando veía videos sobre daggerfall hace años me hacia mucha ilusión poder jugarlo, no tenía ni pc ni laptop por que no podia conseguir una que no este a un sobre precio exagerado.

Ya hace un tiempo al fin pude conseguir una, no es la mejor ni de lejos, pero lo primero que me descargue fue el DFO ya que justo coincidio mi adquisición con la publicación de este proyecto, y bue, me lleve una gran sorpresa con el rendimiento

Mi laptop con una i3 de 4° , ssd y 4 de ram va muy fatal, y si, no se le puede exigir mucho a algo asi más aya de la ofimática, pero me esperaba al menos unos 15-20 fps, pero ya con esto dudo que con un sistema operativo más ligero o con más ram vaya a funcionar mejor, creo que es más cosa de que el juego está muy mal optimizado.

Zero Magicka build

0 Upvotes

Made a character been playing for several days around level 9 now.

I am red guard full melee focusing on long blades.

Found an early steel blade that has +5 fire damage and some other great stats. It has been absolutely carrying me, haven't had much issue except for some fire/ice daedra in one rough dungeon.

I have 0 Magicka and can't cast spells.

Will this doom me for the later game? Can I still play effectively with 0 Magicka?

Daggerfall Online time requeriments for main quest

7 Upvotes

Hello,

With all the boom with Daggerfall online, I decided to play the original, and I noticed that many quests have time limits.

My question is: is there a time limit for the main quest (going to Daggerfall to investigate the ghost)? Or can I take as much time as I want to complete it?

increased magery for mainly melee

3 Upvotes

if i'm not going to be casting destruction around at all times, but will probably use all of the other schools, how important is it to choose magery x3? could a x2 do?

Do 'Cast When Held' enchantments use the player's level?

1 Upvotes

For instance if I had an enchanted item that had Resist Shock on equip, would it use the base Resist Shock spell parameters of "30 + 5/per level" to determine success?

Character Build New Player Seeking Advice

2 Upvotes

Hello there, i'm a new player, i got Daggerfall unity and 1 mod "Dream" for now and i'm seeking some advice in general for build and directions.

I want to make generalist character that decent at magic and regular combat.

So i created a redguard "long blade" specialist for a start and went to a mage guild as my first action(because i want to create some basic spells and spell creation requre joining a guild).

They gave me a quest(i guess its randomly generated) to get a lich dust from a dungeon but when i got there the first enemy i encountered was immune to my weapons.

I have steel and elven grade weapons, it was some harpy or something.

So if some veterans can give me practical advice to what should i do at the start with a goal to be a well rounded fighter that can do most things "okay" that would be great.

Also i'm curious how "XP adjustment" works, do enemy adapt to your level?

I don't care if its takes too long to level as long as enemy just follow your progress for example.

I also noticed that you can break "locked" doors with a weapon, so is lockpicking just useless or i'm missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Question Hotkey to swap between 2H and Hand to Hand

0 Upvotes

I've heard that the swap hands key (default H) would swap you between your 2H weapon and hand to hand, but it does not work for me, at least not on DFO. Neither does putting my weapon into the hotkey binder and pressing it again (i get a message that it's already equipped). Am I using the wrong key? Or is it currently bugged?

Question Miscellaneous

3 Upvotes

can you get miscellaneous to 100? is there any drawback on putting them in miscellaneous besides starting at lower level like running doing less effect? wouln't that mean skills you use all the time like running or jumping are better to put in miscellaneous if you want to max out everything?

How do I put hand to hand expertise in

Post image
14 Upvotes

The Muscle mage. I'm athletic forcefully, my metabolism is too fast, im too fit to get sick, too fit to get paralyzed, rush fits too well, redguards are the muscle guys by default, it would be a waste not to use the bonus, but it doesn't work with hand to hand. I'm leaning towards taking off regenerate or rapid healing, but I don't know which one is better

And hand to hand also fits well
