The map also makes me wonder... how long till a TES game comes out featuring the ENTIRE world and not just one province (skyrim) or barely part of one (morrowind).

Negative 19 years, the first one had the whole world open to explore.

The trend has pretty much been, as games get newer, less ostensible area and more actual things in that area. Arena had the whole, relatively feature-barren world. Daggerfall had more stuff, and ostensibly a small area not that it made a difference much. Morrowind was one small island and it had more unique and interesting things to find and interact with than Daggerfall, albeit less dungeon floorspace. Oblivion, well... that's another discussion.

Arena was the whole world, but really who would want to explore a massive, mostly featureless, flat plane? I believe it had trees dotting the landscape, roads near cities (and maybe you could walk from one city to the other) but the scale is stupidly huge where walking from one place to the other would take hours. Daggerfall is a bit more interesting with dungeons in the wilderness but it's still much faster and easier to find them using the fast travel. I think there was a remake of Daggerfall called DaggerXL that made things like the overworld a bit more interesting but I haven't looked into that in about 2 years.

it still in pre alpha but shows promise
the wilderness in Daggerfall is boring  so i wont be touching it in this letsplay unless i have to.
besides being empty arena is far more datted then Daggerfal.

with Dagerfal you can rework the controls so you move with wasd and look with the mouse the default controll scheme is weird for anyone interested here is an easy installer for daggerfall

Chapter two
In which our hero encounters the dancing salesman and has a little misunderstanding with the law

Entering a shop called Gondyn’s quality supply store
The music shifts to a more upbeat tempo and walking round the corner I find an old man dancing to the tune







..Anyway with night settling in I decide to head for a tavern, on the plus side selling weapons got me up to 1000 gold in the morning I will join the mages guild and hopefuly find someone to by this spare armour.
Asking around I find a tavern called the dwarf and huntsman sounds like my kind of place 
The tavern is a lively place with a large rang of patrons








Anyway there is a crate in the room I rent and no witnisses so naturally I try to steel from it pretty soon I hear a group of men shouting holt and men in armour run into the inn, turns out guards are bad at navigating doors…








After surrendering to the guards I get this screen






So what do you recon team guilty or not guilty?

...meh. Honestly, my advice is to restore from a previous save. Criminal reputation in main quest provinces is a terrible nuisance, and it's based on arrests not convictions. Even if you talk your way out of jail time and skill loss, you'll still be viewed as a criminal by the guards. The reputation lost by a theft charge takes eight months of game time to fade away, and while merchant quests (some give rep) are entertaining, I think if we do any of those we want to do them for fun, not for rep grinding. Plus, there might be bad consequences if you end up with jail time that causes you to miss the Brisennia quest.

Daggerfall is not the most stable game in the world, and while ordinarily for a let's play I'd suggest a "go with whatever happens" policy, in this case I'd advise restoring from a previous save. It's just not worth the hassle.

Do note that if you ever thought guards in Morrowind or Cyrodil were goddamn psychics, you've never committed a crime in Daggerfall. Those bastards teleport.

Spoiler: Some tips on dealing with being criminal scum (click to show/hide)

If you can get out of town before taking any damage, you can get away. This is nearly pointless if you try to steal from anywhere indoors, since the guards tend to block door.

This applies to ANY damage from ANY source, including fall damage(say, climbing over the walls and jumping off), and sun damage from a class ability of vampirism.

Doing what you just did wasn't very smart, those boxes never really contain anything.

For some serious loot, join the Mages Guild, get an Open Lock spell(the weakest you can make via the Spellmaker works just fine), then break in after closing. STEAL EVERYTHING from the shelves(not boxes, it still brings guards, I think). Get out before it opens the next morning.

Then sell it all back the next day. To the store you stole it all from even.


Also take note of the store quality. The best stores(which makes not of incense in the description) has the best quality and selection, the worst stores("Rusted relics...") will give you the best price, buying and selling.

just letting yo know my mouse broke so it will be awhile before i post another round

Shame, I was looking forward to seeing how this went.

PTW, only know Oblivion - Daggerfall should be entertaining.

Agree to disagree.

Upbeat tempo you say? Dancing salesman you say?
