Heh.

 

I prefer the Rusty Ogre Lodge cheat to get my daedric goodies. That Daedric katana sure does come in handy... The money's nice, but being able to beat on something and not have your sword wear out and break in mid whackery is so niiiiiice....

 

And have you seen the work being done on DaggerXL? This is a recreation of the actual game executable, to run on modern hardware. The project is still alpha state (version .190), but already it is incredible! Actual light flare from the torches, a different terrain algorithm, so you get actual rolling hills out of the original displacement map for the terrain. A viewing distance that is...considerably more than original. Others have gotten into the act, and there is a tandem retexturing project to recreate the art resources accurately, but at higher resolutions, and a music project to recreate the whole Daggerfall music file with better MIDI implementation (and the way Lucius is coding the DaggerXL .exe, those things are going to be available as options). The project requires the original Daggerfall resources, and at least as of now, Bethesda has given its obliviousness to the project. You can find it by googling DaggerXL. No idea how long it will take Lucius to finish it, but when he does, you'll even be able to -add- onto the game world. And it will be open source.

 

Lotta daggerfools wanting to get their hands on this one.....
