Well, daggerfall ones are 1995 3d renderswhile arena one are gand-drawed. However it be awesome if some artist draw villgers in style of static daggerfall npc, but I understand that for it you need a lot skill and a lot of time.
Arena ones are nuce but too primitive for my test, and as I remember half of redguards in arena was almost naked :lol:

I've considered recoloring all the peasant sprites en-mass, I too am not crazy about their colors. Never really realized there was any demand for it. It would be cool if DFU had an option to select ranges of colors in the palette and do randomized palette translations for sprites. It would add a lot of visual variety.

I love the atheistic of TES 1, so I'd love to see this mod come to fruition. Will definitely keep an eye on this thread. I've written a tutorial for using SLADE to mod Daggerfall. You might find it helpful. If you'd like, I could expand it to cover working with Arena sprites, too. Can't imagine it would be too difficult, so just let me know. :D

I'm familiar with SLADE. If you could help me out as I'm busy with work that'd be great.

Sure thing, I'll update the tutorial to handle Arena sprites. If you need help with any of the actual replacement, just tell me in a PM what sprites you'd like me to tackle.

Nice idea! It's a pity we'll probably never get the hand-drawn villager/townsfolk sprites that were created for Daggerfall before the pre-rendered replacements and can be seen in some pre-release screenshots:

Awesome screenshots! It obviously seen that it use more like arena-style building placement and honestely it feel more alive then final game

About sprites - they can be reverse-drawed from scrach if there will be talanted people interested in it

I'm feeling inspired right now. I think I'll be dropping the Arena repalcement at the moment due to unfavorable results. (What I want to do with them will take awhile.) However I figured I'd like to do something else. Towns and cities are full of villagers but you don't see much of anything else than maybe a city guard in vanilla Daggerfall. I'd like to change that a bit and edit and replace most if not all villagers to look different or to change from villagers entirely into other professions.

What I hope to accomplish is to make cities feel like cities than a farmstead. Warriors, Priests and Horseback riders will populate cities and Villagers themselves will hopefully get a bit of a makeover. Here's a Rogue I've modified as an example.
