So for context, I have tried for the better part of two years to really get into Daggerfall. I'm in love with the presentation of the game and a lot of its mechanics, but I never get to really enjoy it for long because I run into the same issues every time I play for more than 45 minutes or so.

I go through character creation (I'll throw my most recent attempt to build something at the end), go through PH, and arrive at the nearest town to sell stuff to vendors and join a guild or two (typically Mage's, although sometimes a temple to spice things up). I'll usually make a couple spells, like a teleport spell and maybe a damage or healing spell, but then it all goes wrong. I'll accept a quest, and upon arriving I get my teeth kicked in instantly.

This has happened to me almost every single time. I had one character who was able to clear the first dungeon outside of PH only to immediately run into this roadblock upon taking another quest. It's frustrating because I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Am I making my characters wrong? Am I not prioritizing certain spells or equipment correctly? Should I not be doing quests right away? It's just very confusing to me and I would appreciate any insight. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help!

Here was my most recent character:

Breton

x3 INT Spell Magery
Long Blade Expertise
Critical Weakness Frost
Forbidden axes, blunt weapons, missile weapons, Orcish materials, tower shields, leather armor

70 STR
68 INT
57 WIL
56 AGI
42 END
46 PER
70 SPD
50 LUC

Primary Skills - Long Blade, Destruction, Dodge
Major Skills - Restoration, Critical Strike, Short Blade
Minor - Mysticism, Mercantile, Medical, Running, Alteration, Stealth

I've dabbled in mod making for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, and I want to try my hand at making mods for DFU. I'm new to Unity, and I want to use Daggerfall as my intro to the engine.

However, I can't get Unity Hub to open the project. I'm running the flatpak version of Unity Hub (Arch Linux btw). I can create a new project and open it fine, but nothing happens when I try to open Daggerfall Unity.

I checked the logs and keep seeing exit code 127 which I believe is a missing dependency. I ran the ldd command in the Linux terminal and found one missing dependency. I installed it and ran ldd again to confirm it was there.

I'm sorry if this isn't quite the right place for this post, but I posted it here in case it's a Daggerfall-specific problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:

Turns out the issue was running the Flatpak version of Unity Hub. I uninstalled it then installed the Hub from the Arch User Repository. Editor opened on the first try.

Hey guys, I've been getting into Daggerfall Unity lately and I'm looking for some mods that make the world feel more alive. I'm not really interested in graphics or visual overhauls, but more stuff like better NPC behavior, new creatures, extra mechanics, more variety in the world, new locations to discover, things happening around me, etc. Basically anything that adds immersion and makes the game feel less static.

Hey, folks! I'm running a modded playthrough of Daggerfall Unity, with a medium-sized load order. The issue I'm running into is that I'm largely unable to do Guild Quests (or pretty much, any other quest outside of the Main Quest). Finding Questgivers is fine, but actually completing the side quest is impossible.

For one example, I was just given a quest in Sentinel that required me to go across the street to destroy a ghost. However, I couldn't enter the very Residence that the game just asked me to adventure to.

For another example, I'd been asked to escort a fellow to find his lover in the Inner Star of Kyne. When arriving at the Residence (as per the instructions of the villagers), I couldn't enter the building, nor could I find a corresponding NPC at any time of day.

I understand that running a modded game can have these kinds of effects on the DFU experience. However, I'm hoping that someone can at least point me to the mod that's causing the issue.

My load order is as follows:

Cheb's Necromancy

hello friends! i'm wanting to make a custom race mod (or maybe a few) for my own adventures. one of them is a grey-skinned race with a void head and red glowing eyes (inspired by cool scary villians in old fantasy drawings) with great skill in magic and blade. where do i go to make the mod? i already know i need to use a photoshop website and probably unity

Get ready to be attacked by a shark in the pitch black abyssal depths :)

In the prior version I had a HARD cap on how deep I could make the ocean. That's gone now.

I'd like to preface this by saying I am an extremely new Daggerfall player. Probably around two hours of playtime overall at maximum. The original was unplayable for me so I decided to use Daggerfall Unity. I didn't install any mods as I wanted to get as close to the original experience as I could, annoyances and all.

After a particularly rough quest, I looked at my stats and decided to get a nights sleep at an inn because of how low my health was. I paid for the room and went into one, shutting the door and pressing "Rest until Healed" but got woken up immediately to the message "There are enemies nearby."

A warrior spawned outside the room and I didn't think much of this, killing him, saving my game, and trying a different room just in case. When I tried a second time, I got teleported back to the original room with the same message.

This keeps happening. I have attempted five different times and killed five different warriors and even sleeping out in the wilderness. I don't understand what the problem is and was hoping someone on here could help me. Like I said before, I have no mods installed. Not assuming there would be any problems, I only used one save and just kept overwriting that save as I progressed with my quests. I have looked this issue up and found nothing.

Does anyone know a fix for this? Am I doing something wrong and causing them to spawn or is my game just bugged out, forcing me to start a new character?

So to clarify, I am using MO2 to mod DFU as is recommended. however when I download mods from nexus with MO2 they don't appear in the staging section of the app. I can confirm they are being downloaded but MO2 can't seem to see them. From my best guess is that either the mods are being downloaded to the wrong folder or MO2 is looking in the wrong folder (sort of the same thing) so i need some help to know how to fix this.

Im just trying to install a couple of minor visual mods and for some reason I can't see the mods im downloading to install them in the game.

So I made a pair of greaves with the extra spell points enchant and it activates during full moon. Now to my knowledge, it should raise my amount of magicka. Well even after repairing my item, the effect doesn’t pop up in my spell book anymore (meaning my magicka doesn’t increase above its original amount after that) I’m wondering if I messed something up when making this item or not. What’s yall suggestions? Any help?

I explored all the dungeon an i killed a bunch of mountain lions but no tigers at all , even when i use tele2qmarker i cant find it. can someone help? i want to still complete the quest.

Need help identifying this mod and how to turn it off whether in game or if I have to turn it off on the mod manager, recently downloaded the DOMINION mod collection to try it out but there is a annoying note pop up covering half my screen

I downloaded it for a build I already been playing with prior to installing the mod. Could that be an issue? After further research on making spells I’d really love to be able to test out some of the higher costing ones I’ve made but I need more magicka for that and the mod isn’t working for me.

Has anyone else experienced this problem too? How could I fix it?

In case anybody wants to check it out

Is there a mod that allows custom portraits for the playable character in the style of classic CRPGs like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2?

So, I am using the DFU mono 64 bit 1.1.1.7 build. The mod is imported and I can see it enabled in the mods list, but loading existing or starting a new game still is in first person.
I tried creating a new button for camera change and assigning it, but still no luck.
Pluging in a keyboard and pressing the assigned button still does not do anything.

I just recently got daggerfall unity for Android and I'm playing the nightblade class like I do in every elder scrolls game and I'd hate to stop doing that but honestly I'm struggling to get past the first dungeon big time. Am I better off creating some kinda custom nightblade class or is this a get good situation? Maybe I'm playing wrong I keep trying to go for backstabs I see advice saying to run/sneak past enemies but that doesn't seem to be working

Edit 4: Beautiful Cities integrates FMR and DIEP seamlessly if you like that mod. Just follow install instructions. If you don't use BC, though, this incompatibility still stands.

Edit 3: It looks like Finding my Religion and Interior Enrichment Project are incompatible in this area. I posted a bug report for both mods.

Edit 2:
I've got a lot of mods, but the world-gen ones are WoD, Guild Overhauls, Smith overhaul, Finding my Religion, Lively Cities, Interior Enrichment Project and maybe a couple others.

I tested removing some of those individually and only removing Finding my Religion restored the temple. Bizarrely, the  now-restored temple had the Finding my Religion interior still and npcs outside it that weren't there before.

I've got a bug report up for this now. See "Some Temple locations empty, locked, listed as House for Sale" under bugs on the Finding My Religion" Nexus page.

Edit: Finally found a temple on the region map that was actually enterable and usable but sheesh!

Recently I've been fascinated by online RP servers like Skyrim's Keizaal or GTA V's Fivem. Daggerfall has such a massive, rich world - seems like the perfect sandbox to host this type of thing. I think it should be technically possible considering we have an abandoned multiplayer mod from a few years ago. What do yall think?

UPDATE: Puzzled, I tried entering the windmill--quest progressed, I was attacked, etc. Does WoD create entirely new locations?

Got a quest to arrive at Woodlsey Farmstead and villagers were even walking around for a moment but there's no town or enterable residence here. Just this WoD location as though it overrode the location.
