Daggerfall talk:Races

Images

Daggerfall Races: For each race, I have a crazy idea of getting samples of every possible character face, like in the Skyrim articles. Any thoughts/suggestions on going about this? Should I do it in the format the official Skyrim Bethesda samples are done, something else? etc. I feel that the Daggerfall articles need actual in-game pictures for each race. Maybe I will make a GIF depicting every face.

If you wanted to do this, it would be easiest to use Daggerfall Player from Galfar's Lair, or Daggerfall Imaging 2 by Interkarma. Both sites on the Daggerfall:Hacking_Guide page. --DelphiSnake→T+C 14:21, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

I would recommend against making a gif image. It would be better to have separate images for each. --Legoless 23:59, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Attributes, Bonuses, Resistances

Yo, you spend the entire article's info telling us about stat attributes that you say are overridden in character creation anyway, yet only offhand mention of the traits such as nord's frost resist and highelf paralysis immunity which are retained? article addresses pointless info while skipping most important part??

ex Tell me exactly how much a nord frostresistance is (at least in relation to immunity, high tolerance, low tolerance, critical weakness values if not an exact number) and what if any do the other races have that maybe aren't so obvious in their descriptions? ect. — Unsigned comment by 190.102.9.107 (talk) at 16:57 on 10 January 2012‎

Because most of the information on Daggerfall is hard to access, as there is no official Construction Set, it's often hard to obtain factual in game data. AFAIK the artical sums up everything that is known. Jadrax 17:22, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

pure speculation \/

known:

high elf: paralasis immunity

based on text in the manual which seems to more clearly hit at bonuses than the in game, as well as the text for the game's race selection, it sounds like

bretons: magic resist

argonian: tire more slowly when swimming(i imagine this is like athleticism)

nord: frost resist

kajjit: bonus to climb similar to argonian swim

bosmer: something like a bonus for archery, maybe similar to an expertese missile

now it gets more hazy with

redgard: possibly a bonus to hit or +damage

and even less solid

dunmer: manual sounds like they get half values of both the redgard and bosmer

edit- arena was clearer, but no idea how much they'd kept as other things changed http://www.svatopluk.com/arena/manual/races.stm but it'd probably be something along those lines judging by similarity in the text, seems like i guessed right for the most part

Yes highly speculative and absolutely pointless, I write this here instead of using just a singe line in the change-summary.
Every and all special race abilities are lost even immunity to paralysis for a high elf character. It's still a popular rumor circulating around, even for advanced players tough. You can check this very easily even when you know nothing about hex-editing. There are at least two decent save-game editors you can use to look up your character's special abilities. Even when you pick the high elf at character creation you will see that this special ability is lost after you have picked the class. A knight however has the immunity to paralysis, you can look this up in your save-game, also by using one of these editors. All special abilities of your final character can be looked up, so you see what is there or what is not. And all these hypothetical abilities mentioned above may be applied in the subsequent games, but not in Daggerfall. The only option you have is to use the class maker to build your own redguard, high elf, etc. whatever-class. Who thinks I'm wrong, can point out where to find infos saying anything to the contrary the game's own data does.--PLRDLF (talk) 20:19, 26 September 2012 (GMT)

ah, thanks. so even the known ones don't actually do anything? so a high elf with critical weakness to paralyze actually has critical weakness to paralyze and will get paralyzed then. thats good to know.~~— Unsigned comment by 24.38.235.96 (talk) at 06:20 on 28 September 2012
