Vapourware Daggerfall Unity isnt Vaporware

Honestly I don't see whats the point of upgrading the visuals of this game. The dungeons are all terrible procedually generated shit. The combat is worse then morrowind which is already shit. If you want a similiar gameplay to daggerfall you better off playing the dungeon maker franchise on the psp.

It be better idea to mod daggerfall and improve its gameplay. More tiles, somehow better combat etc but whatever.

Am I the only one thinking high-res textures actually make it look worse (more artificial) since they accentuate low polygon count?

Spoiler

I think I would feel better about this if it were another game entirely. I rather liked the Daggerfall aesthetics.

 

[Drax]

I guess you can always.... not install the mods?

 

[Luzur]

Yes, these are optional mods, the basic game will just be ported right over and made bugfree + add in some missing but still in the code features.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

I'd rather just play with the original look, pixels and all. There's a certain charm in playing games like Doom or Quake in modern resolutions but with original assets and no texture filtering. Makes you really appreciate the original artists work.

No offense but the above screenshots and videos look just like another low budget indie game.

As long as the mods faithfully recreate the nudity, I think they are doing a good job.

New ideas:

Ok this is just my illustration of the idea that Ive presented above. As the voxel mesh can be used for representation of the vast and dense forests in the background, it can be also good for the representation of other things -like tall grass fields and snow/deep snow.

Ive done this just by simple sculpting mesh and placing it on top of terrain, but its just to give you an visual representation of idea and its potential, to increase atmosphere and feeling of real world.

And random scenery pics:

Dat vastness, my explorefag-senses are firing up. It's funny how Skyrim looks like a ski park valley in Colorado compared to Daggerfall's vistas.

This is looking awesome. I do hope there's a way to play in the original resolution though. Love those chunky pixels.

Well if you checked the beginning of the video you saw "modded" and "Classic", i guess thats the play modes you can pick.

You should really put in something like "and optional visual mods" or something in the title. Literally every other retard is talking like the project is updating the grafix, which is not the case.

 

[Wysardry]

I'm not bothered either way about the higher res textures - if they're optional - but I would like an option for a higher res font for the text that appears at the top of the screen (saying "interaction mode" or whatever), in books, as part of quests etc.

Am I right in thinking that this project is now more (original) feature complete than DaggerXL?

How do I install this? I downloaded their thing from github but there's nothing obvious to click on, just random files.

Just saw your thread on the forums, so i guess you already know.

Hey guys, those pics have optional graphic mods installed, just in case anyone's too shit fucking stupid to figure it out on their own.

Unfortunately, once Daggerfall Unity is complete, there will be absolutely no human method conceivable of accessing the original Daggerfall. Even the information on old CD copies will be replaced.
