The most recent upload of DaggerfallSetup-3.0.1.zip from February 2024
as posted here has a major issue...
When you perform a custom installation, all of the unofficial fixes are greyed out and forced to be installed!
(I am apparently not allowed to post non-Elder Scrolls URL links here, or I would post a screenshot of the launcher showing the options greyed out. The pic is located at i dot imgur dot com slash VQ4J6p4.png.)
A number of them are of questionable utility, and certainly not something that should be forced on someone who might want to experience the original game, bugs and all. If nothing else, it's useful to have an unmodified experience for the sake of testing the original release and updating info on UESP.
The previous version, DaggerfallSetup-2.17.0.zip, is also no longer available, as it was hosted off-site.
I've already previously been concerned about one of the "unofficial fixes," DagSkills, and
tried to bring it up to Daneel53 (maintainer of DaggerfallSetup). Basically,
the program is described this way: "Allow attributes and skills to up to 200 naturally and become "master of Skill"." If it does what it says it does...that's not a fix. That's a mod that goes beyond what the developers ever would've intended. And now you are forced to install it.
In my opinion, DagSkills shouldn't even be sorted as an unofficial fix in the launcher, it should be sorted under unofficial mods/utilities.
Does anyone still have an unmodified DaggerfallSetup-2.17.0.zip so it can be restored?
