(I haven't played Daggerfall in this way for quite some time, but it may be possible that you can't get to the exit from all the interesting locations, because of doors which are opened from the other side or so - in this case you will have to jump to another place and try again, I don't remember that I have ever been completely unable to get out). Or you meet enemies which are too strong for you and you can't run away from in time. There is not only the issue that the exit may be difficult to find, but these "interesting locations" are normally well-guarded, so you are likely to jump right into a fight without knowing the location, and you may be hit once or twice before you can react adequately. I use them occasionally for two reasons: Firstly (and this may count as cheating), when I can't find the quest object for a very long time, and simply don't want to go through the huge confusing dungeon one more time just to look for a little room or a secret door I may have missed.Īnd secondly, to play the game by a different rule: I enter the dungeon, jump immediately to the interesting locations until I find the quest object, and from there I try to find my way out without using the cheat keys anymore (don't use the automap if you are interested in a real challenge!). These keys are normally considered cheats, but I don't quite agree. To be honest, I had to reload a lot more often because of the last two reasons than because of bugs.Īnd while we are talking about the huge randomly generated dungeons: There is not only Alt-F11 to get out of the Void bug (I use it without Slowfall and without getting killed most of the time), you can also use the keys to cycle you through the interesting dungeon locations. Good advice - and not only because of the bugs: You may run into opponents you can't defeat, or you simply lose a fight because you made a mistake. I'm going to try it.ĭtgreene: Also, as this game is known to be buggy, save early, often, and in multiple slots.
Good luck and have fun! Thanks for that advice. Greywolf1: I guess the main advice is: practise, avoid opponents you can't beat (like the imp you find early in the starter dungeon, unless you have the right weapon or spell), and save often. It is actually possible to run to the exit of the starter dungeon within one or two minutes (if you know the way :-)) and without fighting - but I strongly advise against doing it, because, like you said, the starter dungeon is a tutorial dungeon, and it helps you to get familiar with the game, build up some experience before you meet the tougher guys elsewhere, and of course the loot you find there is highly welcome for a ship-wrecked guy. And remember that you don't have to defeat every opponent you meet. Rest after a fight (you may have to find a safe area first), there is no need to rush through the dungeon, and learn to use the look up / down buttons - you need them for fighting rats and bats. It's not going to get a lot more difficult in the starter dungeon. Somewhat later you will find an archer where you can practise moving and fighting, etc. He might be a real challenge initially, but he is excellent for pracising. Then walk by the room with the imp and fight with the thief (next door after the room with the imp around the corner on the left hand side, and then stairs down). The first two opponents are a rat and a bat, which you should be able to defeat - if not practise until you can.

Silverhawk170485: can anyone give me some tips about how to play Daggerfall right? I guess the main advice is: practise, avoid opponents you can't beat (like the imp you find early in the starter dungeon, unless you have the right weapon or spell), and save often.
