So my question is: Is it possible to play Daggerfall without powergaming? I can't see the advantage of light armor.

The swing speed is insane, with 60 AGI and 100 SPD after 2 level ups & few magic items, it didn't matter if my short blade skill is low, I was cutting every shit up with ease and never encountered mobs who are immune to my weapon material. I was at 80 from the start.īreton, Critical Weakness Paralyze & Disease, Mana 1.75 xINT I revamped my guy, Custom Class "Quickblade"Īlteration - Unlocks, Water Breathing, Levitate, Slowfall "Powergame MOAR, I dare you!", it taunted. It was like the game waved a finger to my face and told me I wasn't trying hard enough to win. Was outside, resting, awakened by enemies nearby in the middle of snowstorm at night. Mummies, killed one, barely, cast teleport to run away FROM THE SECOND ONE. Main quest letter came by, and I visited the King of Worm's Burrow as per princess request. I persevered and hit level 3 after doing easy quests and skill ups. Bears, Tigers, Spiders eat me for breakfast. Magic does dick, since mana pool is severely limited.

Even with Elven shortsword, I was barely hitting anything. I can't count how many times I lost a 1 v 1 fight with anything bigger than a rat. Gave it a spin and made a short blade guy focused on agility. So, finally there's a one-click XP installer out there pre-packaged with DOSBox.
