Today’s game is some more Daggerfall. I originally intended to just go back to oblivion, but fuck Daggerfall is addicting. I love how immersive it feels. There’s a ghost haunting this one specific town? It actually attacks you at night in that one specific town out of like 2000 towns in the region. Need to find someone specific? You’ll have to ask around. The asking does get a bit tedious when everyone is pissed at you for some reason and won’t help you, but the world is so much fun to explore regardless.
I ended up going to the City of Daggerfall to help the queen and went into the court. I’m not a high enough level to help her yet though i so i went to do some side quests to get my level up.
I ended up helping rescue this woman’s daughter from the Thieves Guild. I had to do a bit of waiting to get back in to where she is though. While i was waiting i was attacked by the Ghost of the dead king (which i mentioned earlier). He paralyzed me and killed me, so i learned a valuable lesson. Don’t sleep outside or the ghost of dead monarchs will curb stomp you.
I ended up going back to the court after a few missions and leveling up and i talked to the king. I don’t know what his deal is but he seems to hate me for some reason. He talks to me like i personally killed his family or something. Their court Jester also makes demonic sounds whenever i talk to him, so i think this whole castle is just a little whack.
One thing i found out you can do is just buy a boat and live on it, which is something i want to do. At this point i’m not really interested in solving the king’s murder, i kind of just want to buy a boat and sail around Larping as a merchant or something lol
Just be careful. If a quest giver gives you a time limit, like a letter saying “get here in one month”, they mean it. It’s possible to silently fail the main quest this way, but it’s also possible to get back into the main quest line via some other quest paths into it.
It’s all fairly complicated. Thankfully failing doesn’t stop you from exploring the world, interacting with NPCs, or doing other quests. You can always use the console to restart the main quest line quests when you’re ready.
I’ve been trying to stick to the deadlines assuming they’re being serious, it’s good to get some confirmation though. I assumed they were since i already knew you could just straight up decline the main story and then not be able to pick it up again
