Also, the video player easily freezes as you start seeking around

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=02h40m30s Cannot disable "click to attack" without exiting the game
And in general, to change options without having to restart

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=02h42m46s Does spider venom attack "flash" make any sense if it's not magic? Bite animation? Another effect, say a splash of green liquid could be more appropriate

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=02h45m20s Unequip armor to be lighter/faster while swimming
02:46:14 "that's the way it works in classic". "Doesn't seem to work at all in DFU. It's fine".
To me it looks like a bug, if you really want to be lighter you can still make a pile with your extra loot and armor. It means you won't have it on the other side of a pool, but seems logic at least.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=03h27m48s Wonders if buoyancy works as in Daggerfall classic or as if it was supposed to work (not sure what he means by that exactly; but not make swimming skill totally irrelevant it seems)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=03h49m01s Stuck against a L shaped wall in Tedious Travel; given time acceleration that was for a long time
Maybe Tedious Travel should auto-disengage if not moving at all?

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=03h54m51s Bandages are still useless; Boost medical skill? (mod material)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=03h57m58s Rope items needed for rappel mode? A feature that was never implemented in classic

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=04h05m07s Commoners walking around randomly outside of city walls doesn't make sense

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=04h11m10s Possibility to bypass Tedious Travel occasionally
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/396509332?t=04h34m45s "If I could use x50 all the time and not fall thru the world, I would use it in every playthru"
That said at 50x there's no way you can interrupt travel to go check something seen from the corner of an eye. Could just as well have fast travel with computed interruption probabilities

Twitch stream, so I haven't found a way to link specific timecodes.

For me, if I click on the gear icon on the bottom right of the stream, the final option is "Copy Video URL at XX:XX time."

04:11:10 Possibility to bypass Tedious Travel occasionally

I have had that same discussion in the TT mod thread. I can also point out that there are points on the map you cannot go without a ship. I have to assume that you can get passage to any of the islands on the map but TT forces you to swim there if you do not own a ship.

[Interkarma]

Thanks for collating.

immunity to magic != immunity to poisons, diseases and paralysis
He's fine with such departure from classic, as long as it's an option

With recent changes to saving throws, Immunity to Magic will make player immune to paralysis if the Paralyze effect was delivered via Magic element. In the case of spiders and scorpions, their venom is delivered using classic spell record 66 (Spider Touch) which uses element 4 (Magic) so that should work as expected from next builds. Also, the exploit of combining Immunity to Magic and Critical Weakness to Paralysis has been fixed in DFU. If Zaric selected this combo, he would not have been 100% immune to paralysis regardless of his general Magic resistance.

Diseases and poisons (both of which come from enemy attacks) are mundane and do not use magic for delivery. There's no reason for Immunity to Magic to help with these, and there are even specific flags for Immunity to Poison and Disease that would be made redundant by Immunity to Magic serving double-duty here. I see this as a classic bug fixed by DFU and have no plans to support this as option.

EP2 (no longer available!)
Same setup

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=56m34s mod to silence the crickets during winter (mod material)
Actually I'd really like to externalize the rules to select the exterior ambient sounds, based on climate, weather, region, time of day,...

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=01h18m16s enemy at some distance that disappears as you approach and cannot seem to approach on his own either. Snow seems to reset as you approach/go back too (fixed)
Some zone issues already reported in Indigo EP1

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=02h16m44s Rappel mode after walking on a rat (fixed, can't walk on rats anymore)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=02h19m17s Moons showing as squares
Happened to me a few times too. I think it only happens after playing for a while

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=02h37m22s Reload bug (already fixed)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=02h44m19s Mod idea: skills can go over 100 but can only have 100 efficiency

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=02h51m41s Light pink textures on the underside of stairs (game data related)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=03h22m29s Spells (Buoyancy here) lasting for shorter time than in classic?
Buoyancy lasts 1 + 1/level according to UESP, he's currently level 2, so duration looks correct to me. Unless classic Daggerfall doesn't exactly follow what's in UESP (happened before), I think he's just not factoring in the slow progress build he chose.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=03h27m43s Imp corpse floating next to a bridge (and wall)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=03h32m05s Imp fireball more impressive than effective

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=03h34m09s Criticizing moded teleporters texture
(then discussion around Stargate)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397082426?t=03h45m41s Use WASD to move around 3d map view? (feature request)

02:56:13 classic (mouse movement) attack needs larger movements than in classic?

I also notice this, for combat. In Daggerfall Unity I practically need the full mousepad to make an attack, while back when I played classic, much smaller movements were enough. Maybe the code is the same and the difference could be related with more modern resolution so you have to traverse more pixels, or something. But anyway, it would be great to have a configuration setting to adjust the length of mouse gestures, because I doubt it was intended to require such long gestures.

There is a setting for it. It's called Weapon Sensitivity or something.

[Interkarma]

Yep, the gesture attack system is configurable. The amount of mouse movement required depends on several variables and there's no one good set of defaults that work for everyone. If anyone finds they need to move the mouse too much for gesture attacks then adjust the following settings:

• Increase Weapon Sensitivity - This is a multiplier that increases gesture tracking sensitivity.
• Decrease Weapon Attack Threshold - This reduces the minimum gesture required for attack to fire.

I have my Weapon Sensitivity set to 5.0 and my Weapon Attack Threshold set to 0.01 and barely need to move the mouse for gesture attacks.

Try not to set the Weapon Attack Threshold too low, as this might result in wrong gesture being recognised if your movements are not very precise. Raise or lower this in small increments of 0.005.

And increasing the SPD of your character can also help. With lower SPD values, the gesture might have been recognised quickly but your character is just really slooow to attack. This can make the gesture attacks feel slower than they actually are.

[Al-Khwarizmi]

Oh, OK. For some reason I hadn't found those options. Thanks, and sorry for asking for something that was already there!

[pango]

Ideally that's the kind of settings that should be modifiable while playing, so one can more easily check what "feels right".
I assume that will come later...
