Ah yes, i regularly run into this dungeon block with the floating loot, taking the Levitate spell to fly is always a good idea.
There's another dungeon block  that is a very huge open and tall room with some elevation/stairs in the middle and in the center of that elevation there's a big pit going down.
On the side up there there are corridors filled with loot that can be only reached with Levitate or climbing (you can climb back by walking backward to a ledge and D-U will make you go in rappel instead of just falling down, nice new feature)

I never actually manage to go into rappel mode. I don't know why.

Also: That feeling when a thirty year old game makes your computer lag

Edit: Oh and my first magical item this time was a Tower Shield of Never Tiring, which is great. Do magic items have charges? If they're used up, is the item destroyed? Can you recharge it?

Okay so one more question. And this one is a little dumb. But the opening door random sound effect is a random sound effect and not actually doors being opened, right? I mean I really think it is but the uncertainty is kind of driving me insane.

It's not a random sound effect, there's an enemy that actually opened a door/secret door nearby.

So after abusing enemy AI to kill the first two zombies in Scourg Barrow (the stairs are just a bit too tall for them) I felt like I might have a chance.

After dispatching a few mummies and skeletons, I come upon a scorpion-and-grizzly-bear-filled pit, guarded by a vampire.

If the other prince's quest isn't any easier, it's gonna be back to the Dibella/Fighter/Mage's Guild grind.

Wow, executing a guy because he claims he knows the location of a powerful magical artifact that the guild would instead go nuts over. Then again, the Staff of Magnus actually poses a threat to the guild, given that it's a very anti-magic weapon.

Wait, Hannibal Traven was a Breton, right? Might explain the hardcore crazy of the High Rock guilds.

As i'm slowly working my way in acquiring a ship (money comes slower than in my memories) and after all the grinding not being too far from being able to afford one, i noticed new the current version ( 0.10.4 ) there's a bug with them
https://forums.dfworkshop.net/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2521
As the devs have been made aware it should be fixed in future releases.

I noticed the ghosts render wrong in Daggerfall Unity, i searched to see if it was a setting i wasn't using correctly, but it's actually known by the developer :

The "charcoal ghost" mod linked in the thread works very nicely as a solution.

edit : ran into my first Lich (not the ancient variant) in D-U, this one being a fighter guild quest target
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Lucky i had mithril weaponry by now (just reached level 8 before that quest too) as i could destroy that enemy.
It didn't killed itself like most lich did in old Daggerfall (not sure if D-U fixed that or if i ran into one of those rare lich not exploding themselves with their spells) but lucky me probably due to my stats its spells failed on me.

Getting into Daggerfall for the first time. Right now I'm doing a fun melee build that seems kinda OP (I'm totally okay with that) that I found on a youtube video. I'd probably like to play a magic heavy build sometime in the future. Any recommendations for fun, even OP mage builds?

Honestly, having the open spell is already fairly OP, but a thief could get good enough to unlock doors as well. As I remember, the quality of goods in a store are based on what you currently have with some slightly worse and some slightly better. Equip the better stuff, and repeat. As a side effect, you get stupidly rich. They reduced the amount of that in future games.

More reasonably, levitate so nobody can melee you, and fire at them with a bow. As with most magic systems, attack magic is worse than utility spells. Although stun spells are pretty nifty.

so reading this thread got me interested and I fired it up.  Still pretty early in my game, finished a Fighter's guild quest and a quest for the Temple of Kynarreth(playing a Breton Shaman/Paladin type character who is a follower of Kynarreth).  The Fighter's guild quest had me kill a giant, who ended up "calling for help" and infinite spawning more giants, which I initially tried killing as well at level 2 with save scumming, but after a run where I killed 5 giants with 3 more spawned the game crashed and after that I just loaded up the save just after killing the first giant and high tailed it out with giants spawning in on my rear, escaped with just a sliver of health, but thankfully got credit for the quest.

Second one was pretty standard, had to go kill a former priest of Kynareth.  Everything went smoothly, get back to Gothway Gardens, and the damned Temple stiffed me on my 173 gold reward >:(.

It's been fun and entertaining though, especially with mods like Mountains and Hills and Tedious Travel actually making the gameworld worth seeing.  As a fan of survival games though, it's pretty frustrating seeing all these assets with perfect dimensions and aesthetics for a lo-fi building/survival game and not being able to go make that cabin in the middle of nowhere.  Am hoping once the project hits beta we'll start seeing more mods for it which actually affect gameplay a bit more.

When can we get a fully destructible building mod?

Look on page 7 for my mage build. The build is in a spoiler since its really cheaty. 3 posts from the bottom. Its godmode pretty much lol. Later once I get to a higher level its gonna be so broken.

That build looks pretty neat. A few quick questions. Any easy ways to go about contracting vampirism? And is there an easier way to access your spells without having to go into your inventory and using your spellbook?
