Watching this video has revealed that the in game tutorial has incorrect button assignments. That will need fixing in case you guys arent aware of it already. Most people probably skip the tutorial and would never see the errors.pango wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 7:08 pm I'm very excited that Lillia Lil is starting Daggerfall Unity streams!
She a very cool gal that knows quite a lot about classic Daggerfall (having been to the school of Grimith no less lol), so I'm expecting interesting and enjoyable gameplay...
Nothing too exciting in that first video though, it's basically a test with a run of the mill archer class, but I'll keep an eye on that series

Re: Video Thread
Ideally there should be new macros for key shortcuts, so the tutorial can match current assignments

Macros would be ideal for expanding correct keybinds in text. Shouldn't be hard to implement.

Re: Video Thread
While your attention is focused on this it should be pointed out that there need to be more trigger events added to make the tutorial actually work. Among these would be location triggers (at X point, within Y distance of X point), Object triggers (door opened, item clicked on, within Y distance of object), encounter triggers (monster seen, monster hit, monster sees you, etc.). Action triggers, (virtually any action the PC can take including swinging weapon in specific ways). This would allow for an expanded tutorial to wait for an action and then respond.Interkarma wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 10:01 pm Macros would be ideal for expanding correct keybinds in text.

Imagine the tutorial walking you through each step of the fast travel system. It would need to interrupt each step with a popup telling you what to do next. Not that I'm saying that should be done but it would be nice.

Re: Video Thread
Lilia Lil testing different settings... I didn't expect that, but found it to be very informative, if you just started to play Daggerfall Unity it gives you a quick tour of gameplay and graphic options.
Personally I don't remember trying some of the info mode styles, so I learned something!
She said she'll do a video about mods, again something that will probably be very useful for new players.

Re: Video Thread
I watched that video this morning. I am just starting to really play DFU and I found it informative to watch how she plays, since she played classic. Certain aspects of dungeon crawling are not intuitive to me, a newbie to older first-person CRPGs.pango wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 5:56 pm Lilia Lil testing different settings...

I really encourage people to suggest their favorite mods. I think DREAM and all the recommended mods in that list are a no-brainer, at least to try out and see what is possible. Lilia does a great job and showing just how easy it is would be great for viewers and could help people get up-and-running and checking the forums.
EDIT: Whoops, I actually watched yesterday's upload. She is really cranking them out!

Well, Vondur just above posted his own video on the topic:

Re: Video Thread
Of course there will be as many opinions on mods as there are players, but AlexanderSig's models mod really is an essential companion to DREAM (only the latter was featured in the above video). Still, I'm glad to see Vondur's (and others') recent videos raise a little more awareness about DFU and its modding possibilities.
