Another easy quest
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2020 7:49 pm
Just wanted to share a great DFU moment,
Joined the Temple of Stendarr with a custom "Crusader" character (an "enhanced" knight skilled in Restoration, INT in spell points and forbidden daedric/orcish). Great RP with Tedious Travels & Climates & Calories mods, settled in Urvaius (they worship Stendarr over there).
So at the Temple they asked me if I was OK to "assist" with an exorcism. Sure, that's the very heart of my Crusader job, where do I sign up ? Was fun until that kind little girl in rose dress turned into a savage Daedroth...
Problem is, I'm level 4, so the only weapon I have that can hit the thing is the "ebony dagger" you can get from character's background. I have "short blade" in the minor skills (the only combat skill I don't have is hand-to-hand), but I'm not really proficient at it (like 15%). Of course, the beast can kill me in one axe swing (two attacks). I have an elven cuirass and steel for the other armor parts, but it doesn't seem to help a lot (I know armor in DFU makes you harder to hit, but does not reduce damage). I can't score a single hit on the Daedroth, despite my dagger is made of ebony I'm simply not skilled enough to hit him ! The fight takes place on the attic of a house, so there is really very limited space to dodge, slash'n'run tactics can't help there.
So I guess I'll take another quest that will hopefull lead me to an "easy" dongeon, where I'll be able to learn short blade and maybe gain a level !
This is where it gets great : you take a quest to be able to finish another quest (and who knows maybe stumble on a powerful magic weapon or something alike) ! And that's why we all love Daggerfall !
