Playing daggerfall for the first time, wasn’t even alive when it came out. What should I expect?

broken game

its bad, unless you enjoy spending 2 hours in a dungeon for a minor quest just to notice that the dungeon is bugged because the developers didnt even checked every dungeon to see if its possible to complete it and just generated it like a minecraft world.

its still cool as a rpg but the bad parts are really rough, it makes it unplayable

Buy spells like recall and levitate
Dungeons sometimes expect you to make progress like from holes in the ceiling that you probably won't see.
You can fail the main quest and not know by not doing timed quests

you probably wont make it out of the starting area

Get yourself a carriage as soon as you can, it's life changing.

this game doesnt do anything good because it was all procedurally generated. there are lots of cities but there's nothing in them, the dungeons are huge but they're not well designed because they weren't designed at all (other than the main quest ones but there aren't many of them)
you're better off playing another old rpg like might and magic instead

Daggerfall sucks.

The cities are boring and lifeless, NPC's are just walking dolls who all have the same stock lines.

There are thousands of towns, but very little reason to visit any of them. They all just have the same stores, the same temples, the same guilds, and of course lots of empty houses.

There are thousands of dungeons, but exploring them is kind of boring. The combat is clunky, the treasures are mostly just the same "you found 50 gold!" or "you found some slightly better armor!" you see in every RPG. Or, occasionally you'll find a map that leads to a "secret" dungeon that's no more awesome than the dungeon you were just in. Yippee!

Oh, and did someone say "procedural generation"?

99% of the game's towns and dungeons were computer generated. Don't even expect a professional level of quality in the game's map design, you won't find it. The only people who like Daggerfall are poorfags who can't play Morrowind and Oblivion.

If I wanted to comb randomly generated dungeons for loot, I'd play Nethack, at least Nethack has a goal to look forward to.

If I wanted to explore gloomy labyrinths in 90's 3D, I'd download one of countless fan-made levels for Doom or Quake. At least those games have decent combat.

If I wanted to "roleplay" and create a story about my character in a single player game, I'd play Fallout. At least Fallout has unique NPC's and some neat dialogue trees.

If I wanted to experience the absolute worst of these three things, I'd play Daggerfall.

I was only 2 when it came out and still had a lot of fun. First played it when Skyrim came out and they offered it for free. It made me dislike Skyrim, but it is pretty janky too. Some things:
>every dungeon is a huge, randomly generated nonsense maze and your quest may be in an inaccessible part (at least it's easy to clip through walls)
>stuff like traps and teleporters are extremely janky
>don't pick magic skills without magic point increases
>levitate is virtually necessary in some dungeons, so find a source ASAP
>languages are useless
>most enemies with a "touch" damage spell will spam it every frame due to the game's jankiness and probably one shot you, so keep away
>some skills and advantages just do not work, forgot which ones
You can definitely have fun in vanilla but DF Unity is honestly more fun when you've had enough of the original's horseshit

Just play Daggerfall Unity. I'd recommend to do one singular dungeon without the "Small Dungeons" option just to see how absurd it is.

Wide as the ocean, deep as a puddle

It has boobies

might as well just watch it on youtube instead, huge dungeons are the only thing this game has

Daggerfall was the second best soundtrack
