Pickpocket: Pickpocketing peasants will never get you anything useful.You will soon gain a spell that regenerates your health. Medical: This skill regenerates health more quickly when resting.Hand-to-hand is a good weapon skill, but will not achieve that result. Hand-to-Hand: Your first character will want to destroy enemies in a single hit, where possible.
Backstabbing/Critical Strike: These can be useful skills, but for your tutorial character, they will not be necessary for your survival.Streetwise/Etiquette: Can help in conversation with peasants, and occasionally when the character is arrested for a crime.Jumping: This is marginally useful to get around obstacles in towns, but it will not help you survive.Most locks in Daggerfall have a difficulty exceeding skill 60, and many exceed skill 80. Lockpicking is a very unfair mechanic in Daggerfall, in that you are allowed to only attempt each lock once while you are in the zone. Lockpicking: You will gain a spell soon that will pick doors for you.The first dungeon does not require the use of climbing to escape. Climbing: You will gain a spell soon that will allow you to walk in the air.Swimming: You will gain a spell soon that will make you swim perfectly and breathe underwater.Pacified enemies will remain in the dungeon and stay in your way, and the skill check is not easy to achieve. Giantish/Nymph/Daedric/Dragonish/Spriggan/Orcish/Centaurian/Impish: These skills, when successful, pacify the type of enemy they correspond to.Here we will see some of the other skills, and why you should not choose them for your first character: Another weapon skill (Long Blade, Blunt Weapon, Short Blade, Archery, Axe).For this first character, choose the following as primary skills: Clicking on those slots will allow you to choose your character's skills, thus determining how you will survive. Most of the middle of the screen is taken by twelve empty slots, divided into Primary, Major, and Minor Skills. Nevertheless, keep it at 50 to begin with, and increase it in future iterations if you choose. My personal finding is that it alters the quality of looted weapons and armor, which can be a very valuable advantage to have. Luck is said to alter every game mechanic in a small way. (Personality should be higher if playing DF Unity.) Its effect on conversation appears to be minimal, and conversation can't kill you in any case. Personality can often be dropped to 10 with few, if any, repercussions. This can help you regenerate health more quickly when resting and gain more health points each level, but neither of those will be great priorities for you. The character you will be creating won't have a great need for additional Endurance. In some cases that could have simply been some unknown glitch, but at best willpower is unreliable. Its stated purpose is to help resist enemy spells, but a recent character of mine who reached 100 willpower never once resisted a spell in its lifespan. Your character will be configured with a magicka supply of (3*INT), so you may feel motivated to increase that intelligence attribute as you level up.Īfter some testing, I have found no use for Willpower. Intelligence should be kept at least above 50, as you will be using spells frequently. Increasing Strength will increase your combat odds sufficiently that you can leave Agility alone. Therefore, a new character should set two attributes at 75 to begin:Īgility is currently under testing, and does not appear to be nearly as useful as expected. In Daggerfall, you must have one or more definite combat strengths to overcome the many dangers before you.
Much of the difficulty new Daggerfall players experience comes from poor character design. You can click on any attribute and use the "up" and "down" pointers near the zero counter to alter the attribute. On the left side of the screen, you will find Daggerfall's eight attributes, all beginning at 50. After choosing your race, pick the option 'Choose from a list of possible classes to play.' and scroll down to the bottom of the "Class Selection" dialogue then choose "Custom." This will open the Classmaker system. They are extremely difficult to play with, and do not connect well with many of Daggerfall's core gameplay mechanics. To begin, do not select any of Bethesda's preset classes. I created these guides for Unity instead. NOTICE: Character creation has some important differences if you're playing Daggerfall Unity. What kind of character should I start with?
