So with my OP character I posted...

Level 2, soloed a pack of 6 centaurs. Then right after 2 giants+bear showed up, soloed those too. I can if I really wanted to exploit (I did try it but I'd rather make money) spam fireballs on the ground for all of time cause I get spell points back and take no damage. I laughed but I'm not gonna do that, cause my character is already OP as it is. She is gonna be so strong later on its gonna be so broken rofl

I'm level five and I have some decent enchanted stuff, plenty of useful spells and enough mana to cast them a few times before needing to rest. I think after I finish one more dungeon for the Mage's Guild, I'm going to do some shopping (I want at least a dwarven axe and long blade) and try the main quest. The only thing I could really wish for at the moment is more spell points and HP, and the only way I'm going to get those is more grinding.

So I found what I think is a magical door. How do I actually into it?

[scriver]

But they still appear as holes in the automap, right?

[scriver]

No, not actual door's, they're like blue circle portals on the wall. Or are those actual doors?

Spoiler: Obvious Portal is Obvious, right? (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: On the Mappy-Ho it makes these obvious door sized holes, just like hidden doors (click to show/hide)

Can't figure out what to do with them for the life of me. There's like 3-5 of them in this dungeon.

Also, related question: I'm having a super huge trouble finding the item I'm supposed to find here and the quest is spawning skeletons every so often to haunt me. Being level 2 I can take one of them, but my health has been slowly nicked down, I'm almost out of stamina, and I would be able to rest and recover because they spawn even while sleeping, interrupting the rest. So I'm pretty screwed. If i Reload the game from before I entered the dungeon, is there a chance the plot item will spawn in another place that might be easier to find?

Got to another dungeon, found another teleporter. This time I got teleported, so it seems it was just in that dungeon that none of the portals worked.

[Robsoie]

i think your blue circled teleporters are your used graphic mod ( DREAM i think ? ) that is replacing the "red brick wall" normal teleporter.

Those "red brick walls" are working oddly in Daggerfall, sometime you must walk through them so they can work, sometime you must click on them to make them work (as walking through wouldn't do) and i have seen some that do nothing at all (probably a bug as Daggerfall was notorious of having so many)

So i guess it was very bad luck that the dungeon generated only with the "do nothing at all" version, unless one of the mods you're using broke them, as usually i may have only 1 of them not working, all of the other are either walk through or activate type.

[scriver]

Ah, that would explain it. Yeah, I'm using a bunch of mods, DREAM among them.

Had to abandon that one dungeon too though as I managed to explore the entire complex except a single door that was magically sealed that I was unable to find the opener to. I managed to fully explore the next dungeon though, thank god, including an underwater part that I really should not have been able to make it through. Turns out giants are pansies when trapped in a tiny room on the other side of a doorway.

Spoiler: water exploit found (click to show/hide)

I mistakenly pressed quicksave instead of quickload in my panic just as my breath was about to give, then immediately pressed quickload afterwards anyway. When the character was loaded back in he loaded "out of water" and thus his breath metre refilled. Or maybe breath measurement just isn't stored in the savegame. Regardless there's now a way to never have be bothered by pesky underwater corridors again. Of course I just bought Water Breathing anyway so I won't likely have to use it.

[Robsoie]

The doors "protected by magic lock" usually are for using the Open spell on them (or use a magic item that has said spell in it if you can't afford casting that spell depending on your class bonus/malus/etc..)

For doors that have no message, it's usually a lever or a wheel to activate somewhere.

I found a nice mod that modify the lights, disabling the flickering that got annoying my eyes it gives a very nice atmosphere even on the retro rendering i'm playing with, lowering the default light settings can make the mod delivering some nicely dramatic scenery.

Okay so I noticed references to light from player torches in that  mod's pages, but my torches or lanterns never give off any light. Do you have to do anything more than equip them for that to use them? Or am I a bug?

I'm not asking why this is by the way, unless there's a setting somewhere that I might have missed. I have bunch of mods installed and I'm not able to recall all off them off hand, and I'm not at my computer so this question was posed before I've had the opportunity to check myself. I just want to know if using torches are supposed to make a noticeable difference in-game?

[itisnotlogical]

It's one of the options under "Enhancements" when you start the game, which I believe is off by default.

[scriver]

Ah! That could explain it. Gotta remember to check (and check!) that next time. Thanks!

edit: yeah, i found it. There was a whole bunch of stuff in there I had missed!
