I did it! I did it!

I B34T @r3n4 !!!!

Wow. The end was not really that hard at all. I didn't even know the game HAD ended, matter of fact. I am not gonna say what I just did (it would be way too much of a spoiler) but we didn't have to fight Jagar Tharn at all. All you have to do is ... well I don't wanna say.

I almost want to go back to my last save, just to see how tough Tharn is. Because I didn't know it was Tharn, I thought he was a vampire.

There is a very primitive cut-scene at the end, and then the game's opening music plays. So here are some pics I just took of the final, 1994 technological feat.

Firstly, we found this gem, after running right by the guy I thought was a vampire. RG1 had a special key by this point, which she literally found by luck in some locked cell, without too much exploration.

After grabbing the red gem, this is how the cut-scene started.

Then this

Woo woo psychadelic


And then Jagar Tharn shows up at the end of the cut-scene, but it never that he's just been defeated. I can't be the only gamer out here who was confused by this.

EDIT: Never mind. The first cut-scene must have glitched. I tried it again, and here are some more pix. Tried fighting Tharn by the way, but the guy is way too tough, as he should be. But that's okay. I just beat TES 1: Arena for the second time with my little trick.

Another psychedelic pic

Jagar Tharn DIES

And then this guy shows up (don't know who it is, but he mentions my characters' name).

And then Burger King shows up. I mean Uriel Septim VII shows up to greet my character. Fun stuff.

I almost feel like jumping into Daggerfall right now, but I need to unwind with some Oblivion. I'll definitely get to Daggerfall this weekend though.

w00t yrself, mALX.

I did roll a new t00n in Daggerfall a few days ago, he is a Nord Warrior from Skyrim (real creative, I know). His name is Mann Buubz, ha ha, and he'll pretty much be my test guy.

I have had some technical problems with getting my PC-style Xbox controller to work in this game, specifically with weapon swings. But I'm working with Turija over at Beth's forums, because he's telling me he's gotten one to work in the past. Otherwise, I'd be stuck with trying to use my controller and mouse for combat, which would get pretty awkward since I game while sitting up in bed, rather than at a desk like most of y'all.

Alright, alright, girls. Behave yourselves


Nice to see your progression, Renee. I hope you´ll enjoy Daggerfall

Arrested and in jail before even getting in the city? Are you sure you are not playing Khareem of Wheet?

<snip>

So I tried to have him loiter here for 3 hours.

Guards do not like loiterers though, so he's now been arrested. Holy crap, he's now standing TRIAL for his "crime". He doesn't really care that he's been arrested though, it's safer in jail than it is outside the city, with that weird specter thing flying around.

He chose "guilty". I assume they took some gold from him, but he found a lot of gold in Privateer, so no worries.

So you can actually choose to "loiter" instead of "waiting" in Daggerfall?

And this is gonna sound dumb, but I don't think I can choose what my character looks like, the way I could in Arena. Small detail, but I liked having the choice to pick how Renee Gade I is supposed to look in that game. Trivial matter though, in comparison with the nerdgasm I had earlier today after getting out of Privateer's Hold.

mirocu: I did try to take some in-game pics, but Fraps doesn't seem to work with Daggerfall for screenshots. So yeah, if anybody else knows how to get some DF pics, I'll try something else. Cripes, maybe Beth gave DF its own screenshot button, but I've been too overwhelmed to notice which one it is.

I had a character in Skyrim that refused to pay gold to Riften guards and they didn't let him in. But then he attacked them and they of course dragged him to town jail.

1) Create a "CAPTURE" folder (minus quotes) under your main Daggerfall (or whatever you named it) directory.

2) In-game, press CTRL-F5.

3) Return to the "CAPTURE" directory to find your image(s).

I do not know if this method works with non Daggerfall Setup.exe installs.

Nice! Mann was just PERMANENTLY banned from Daggerfall City. That is just amazing to me!

If I recall correctly, being banned doesn't keep you out. You may have to levitate over the walls in the middle of the night, but that's a valid tactic.

I rolled a nu t00n today (it was raining) say hello to Sheeza Hawty. She will be my dark elf sorceress. I don't know why I want to play a dark elf sorceress (out of all possible choices) but I just do. The idea just jumped out at me.

Here is a pretty nighttime picture.

Hey, hello there!

Whoops, wrong room!

(hope there isn't a problem with that last one. I used imgur's blemish tool best I could).

Boy, do I wish those Absorb and Shield spells had some sort of visual counter so you could see how much remained.

Any guidance?

Dunno if I´ve asked this before, but is your Daggerfall decrepit avatar an ancestor to your Oblivion decrepit avatar?

I am doing my first dungeon crawl in Daggerfall right now. I see what everybody means, the sound effects in this game are creepy and frightening.

It was pretty atmospheric in Arena too
