Mod proposal: DaggerFAST
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2021 6:59 am
Hi All,
I don't know how much popular this idea would be, but since we are in a forum to exchange ideas I will try to propose this and see how it goes.
Before explaining the idea of this mod, a bit of background first: I have played Daggerfall in both its original version and DFU for years, however I still consider myself a rather average/bad player. In my whole career of Daggerfall player I NEVER managed to:
1. Push a character above level 12
2. Reach the top ranking of any guild
3. Purchase an house in an "honest" way (meaning without asking loans in half of the regions and then escaping to another one, never repaying them)
Plus:
1. After some time playing with the same character I personally get tired of him and want to start a new one with other skills
2. I don't have anymore the time I had when I was younger to spend tons of hours playing
3. Due to the difficulties I had with reaching achievements, I never dared to play with the Ironman mod, which I believe would be great to use
Ok, so far my personal issues . Now, my proposal would be to have a mod that speeds-up the achievement of the above mentioned goals, so you can potentially reach them in few hours of gameplay and not in days/weeks (hence the proposed name DaggerFAST), meaning:
1. Making the experience gaining/level advancing a bit quicker
2. Requiring less reputation/less quests done to advance in rank in guilds (with my last character I saved at least 10 princesses from vampires and I'm still in the mid rank of a knightly order...how many others do I have to save? )
3. Reducing the price of the houses to a still challenging but much more affordable price (e.g. in the order of 30k-100k gold)
The idea behind all of this is to have the possibility to enjoy shorter but more frequent enjoyable games, without the need to investing too long time to get some good results with your character. Also I think this would work great with the Ironman module, making less frustrating the idea of start a new game in case a well developed character should be accidentally killed.
I'm sure that many of you would prefer a slow character development and maybe would find all of this too easy...but the good thing about mods is that they are optional to use
