That's bugfixes, you're reading those the wrong way around

Oh so they didn't work properly in classic. Right. Yeah. Whoops.

As I said on another thread, finding it hard to focus at the moment. :/

Added bugs in classic:

DFU adds the possibily to change loot icons: https://twitter.com/gav_clayton/status/ ... 5927442434
That's a bit obscure, and I just learned about it

That's a pretty cool added feature I think though. You are right that it should probably be added to DFU documentation for players along with a lot of other stuff so people who havn't spent the past few years hanging around here will know about the features.

To add to the list, the datafiles contain NPCs marked as spymasters and DFU treats them as normal NPCs whereas classic doesn't.

What happens to them in classic? How many are there? What is the nature of the mistake, just an error or the beginning of an unfinished feature?

Also, can I get confirmation that the following bugs affect classic:

-quests can use the houses that are used for underground guilds like the Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood.
-reporting quest completion to the questgiver while in lycanthrope form crashes the game.

Sorry I was not clear, in classic they pop up the guild menu like you're in a Thieves guild. No idea how many there are.

Added classic bugs
I did also add the loot pile appearance thing, but just keep in mind that, like undocumented hotkeys, this is another invisible feature with no arrows or buttons or anything to indicate you can do this.

Maybe I missed something, but I didn't read anything about the changes concerning immunities and magic element compared to classic; I think this is a big one, given that many people seem to try to use the "high elf + critical weakness to magic" or "critical weakness to poison etc. + immunity to magic" exploits in DFU.
Interkarma explained this in different threads here, but I think his answer on Reddit is the most clear and comprehensive explanation I've seen to date: https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerfallunit ... _to_magic/

I don't fully understand the fixes to resistances, so I can't describe them. I get that classic mistakenly assigned "poison" and "disease" to the wrong element. But if I make a character immune to poison, is he immune to poison? I'm just confused by the spell vs blade talk because the resistance screen just bluntly states poison.

The race vs class thing is similar. As far as I know, races come with (dis)advantages and classes can add (dis)advantages ontop of that. So if a race comes with immunity to paralysis, why am I allowed to select immunity to paralysis again? I'd expect it show up when I open the advantage window, thus telling me that I can't duplicate it or contradict it. Instead, there's an elaborate semi-negation thing going on explained in a reddit post no one will see. Won't this just confuse new players and bait veterans into building with exploits that no longer work? I have no idea how to describe what's been done here or if it's just a placeholder fix.
