Towers outside Daggerfall palace are screwy

Post by DunnyOfPenwick »

The interiors of the two towers outside the entrance to Daggerfall palace are jumbled, contorted, infested with poltergeists, etc.

Not reproduced for me on 0.14.4 without mods:

There'll need to be more info for a report like this.

What you see inside these towers is just how they are in gamedata, not a mistake on DFU's part. The interior records of these towers aren't intended for player.

These towers aren't meant to enter-able in base game. Clicking on the tower door should take you inside the castle dungeon. If you can enter these towers from either door in base game without mods, this would be a regression. This was not possible in older versions of the game when I last looked at this (some years ago now).

The exterior door on ground level leads to the tower building, while the door on the top leads to the castle.
In vanilla, interacting with the regular doors would bring the "This house has no value message".

@Dunny : I fixed those towers in Detailed City Walls.

That Detailed City Walls mod should probably be on the 'must have' mods list for DFU , along with the unofficial block/model fix mod, and probably your Fixed Dungeon Exterior mod as well.

It's still possible to enter that tower in 1.0, see subreddit thread:
