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.

Daggerfall Online time requeriments for main quest

• 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?

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?

I'm doing a Let's Play series with in-character narration, and have just started a second 'season' of it. Playing as a Khajiit mage trying to find her footing as she travels away from home for the first time.

Character Build New Player Seeking Advice

1 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

Anyone else simply love the terrain addition to Daggerfall Unity? It makes walking the distance on foot so much more fun, especially in hilly areas, where you could see towns, homes and seas in the distance!

Question How to adjust graphics?

2 Upvotes

I accidentally close the graphic setting that you can see at the very beginning of the game.

And I close (this ones by knowing) the starting menu of the game.

Now my GPU is working like crazy, 2000+ FPS, how am I gonna fix it?

Where can I open graphics menu? Because I cant find it any other way. I JUST start to play this game.

Question Daggerfall online is not daggerfall

315 Upvotes

You have your own community on reddit already, why do you insist on coming here to argue with people instead of posting your content where it belongs?

Mods are one thing but it's basically a different game and it's turning this sub into something obnoxious that I want to unsub from.

Moderators, can we get some kind of vote on where this content belongs? At this rate the conversation here is 90% about daggerfall online and AI usage. It's not what this sub should be about.
