Daggerfall: What are the differences between the CompUSA and other versions?
Chris Gross
Can anyone give me a list of the differences between the existing
versions of Daggerfall? I dont live too close to a CompUSA, and I was
wondering if it would be worth a trip to get an "enhanced" version. (Or is the
bonus just a hintbook and mousepad, like the "Deluxe" Arena?)

All it adds are a couple of quests & a couple of Artifacts, all of
which you can dl from various web sites.

From Compuserve:
In case, you were always wondering just what's up with these additional
quests:
these are included in ADDQUEST.ZIP

I am _qgiver_ of this knightly order. I have a most dangerous quest %pcf. You
are one of the few that could possibly take it on. A lich is raising an army
of
undead. We need someone to go in and put a stop to it.I understand, %pcn. This
is too dangerous even for you. There are one or two other heroes that might be
able to pull this one off. I'll go ask them.You are brave indeed. The lich has
made ___dungeon_ into its lair. Go there and destroy the foul thing. In
=2dung_
days we will send out someone else, should you not return.
c0b00y14
%pct, I have a dangerous mission for you. I will tell you up front it involves
slaying a rather powerful undead creature. Are you still willing to undertake
this task for __questgiver_?Well, I certainly cannot blame you. I myself would
not dare it.Your courage honors our order, %pcf. We wish to begin cleansing a
place called ___mondung_. Long ago it was one of our temples, but its
desecrated corridors are now haunted by some undead apparition. You must slay
this unquiet spirit and sprinkle its body with this specially prepared holy
water. If you have not returned in =qtime_ days I will burn incense for your
departed soul and send someone else to avenge you. May %god go with you.%pct,
if you did not wish to help cleanse ___mondung_, you should have told me so
before.
c0b10y15
%pct, __questgiver_ needs you for a dangerous mission to retrieve one of the
lost _item_s of %god. You will have to defy the power of =lich_, its creator
who then betrayed the temple and sank into evil. He is now a lich, and still
guards the _item_. Are you willing?I understand. A lich is a fearsome
opponent for one of your youth and inexperience. Perhaps as you mature you
will take up this again. %god go with you.I admire your courage, but tremble
to think of the danger you are about to face. =lich_ guards his _item_ of
%god
in ___mondung_. Remember, there is no need to slay the lich, just retrieve
the
_item_ and return it to __questgiver_ here. If we have no word from you in
=qtime_ days, we will chant the Song of the Departed for you. %god's blessings
upon you, %pcn.I understand your reluctance to depart, %pcf, but waiting will
not make the danger any less.
m0b00y16
Howdy, %pcf. If you got a few days free, a job just came in for some
giant-killin', and I thought of you. Interested?Too busy, eh? When I was
your
age, I was never too busy to off a giant or two. Kids these days, I tell
ya.Right. Seems there's this giant, moved into ___mondung_ a while back and
has been having a fine old time feastin' on _dummy_'s sheep in the area. Ate
a
few of the local villagers too, I guess, but old _dummy_ don't seem so
concerned about that. At any rate, %g wants this giant taken care of within
=qtime_ days, and %g's payin' _gold_ gold for it. See ya in a bit.What, the
giant died of overeating? Get going, %pcf. You got a job to do.
m0b00y17
%pcn, isn't it? Just who I was looking for. We have a rather interesting job,
requiring a bit of brains rather than brawn. Are you interested?Yeah, you're
right, I did say this job needed brains didn't I?Here's the situation. Seems
_dummy_ has this pet sabertooth tiger -- don't ask -- and it ran off a few
days
ago. %g had it tracked to ___mondung_, but now we need someone to go in there
and bring it out. Alive. The trick is that it's been trained to respond to
this bell. The tiger should become docile if you ring the bell in its face.
Of
course, _dummy_ did say it isn't trained too well -- are you surprised? -- so
you may have to smack it upside the head once or twice to get its attention.
Just don't kill it, OK? Bring it back to _dummy_ at __dummy_ in one piece
within =qtime_ days, and %g'll pay you _gold_ gold. Good luck.Don't look at
me. The tiger is in ___mondung_. Take your little bell and get going.
m0b11y18
%pcf, I have an important mission that will require the utmost discretion. I
can't tell you more unless you agree to help me. What do you say?%oth, I had
expected much more of you.An old friend of mine is in grave danger, and needs
an escort who is handy with a blade and can keep a secret. Naturally, I
thought of you. _target_ will meet you at 10:00 tonight at _targethouse_. %g
will tell you more when you arrive. I would come with you, but since I am
known
as %g3 friend, I might lead %g3 enemies to %g2. Watch your back on this
one.We
have nothing more to discuss, %pcn.
m0b21y19
How are you, %pcf? If you need work, I've got somethin' for you. Standard
protection job. Interested?Sure, you're lookin' for more high class work
these
days, right?All right. The client's name is _victim_, over at _victimhouse_
just up the street from here. %g wants you over there right away. Seemed
very
agitated, you know the type. %g'll give you all the details when you get
there.That's all I know. Better get movin'.
N0b00y16
%pct, I need someone who can cast the Open spell. Please tell me you have
learned this by now.Really, you need to devote yourself to your studies if you
expect to advance in the Guild.Well, that's a start. The job I need you for
is
quite simple. Even a child could probably do it, but here you are. A local
merchant, _merchant_, bought an antique chest, but has been unable to get it
open. The best locksmiths in __shop_ have tried and failed, so %g has asked
us
if we can help. Now, we really don't have time for such trifling matters, but
the Guild could use %g3 patronage, so I agreed to send someone. From what I am
told, it sounds like one of _mage_'s trick boxes. %g made hundreds of them in
%g3 day, mainly as gifts for %g3 friends, and they still turn up from time to
time, as the workman- ship really is outstanding... where was I? Oh yes, well,
the secret to these boxes is that they are almost impossible to open in any
way
except by the use of the simple, standard Open spell. %g specifically made
them resistant to the fancy alternative spells %g3 friends liked to use. Yes,
%g tended to waste %g3 considerable talents on jokes like this. A real shame.
Well, run along.%pct, leave me in peace and run along. I have work to do and
so
do you, if I'm not mistaken.
N0b00y17
%pct, I am perplexed. Perhaps you can help me with some research.Hmm, yes, if
the internal azimuthal vectors really do cross at the anterior pole, it should
be possible ... eh? Oh, %pct, I didn't see you standing there. But how
fortuitous! I need someone to help me with my research. Are you available?Oh,
too bad. Now, where was I? Mmm, the azimuthal vectors, right. Let's
see...Splendid! You see, I'm working on a particularly thorny problem in
theoretical applied magicka, and I need a particular magic _item_. Made by
_maker_ %g2- self. By all reports, a masterful little piece of work, but
according to my research, impossible. The internal azimuth vectors are such
that I cannnot reconcile the externally manifested lateral flow lines ...
Well,
having the piece to study would help me immeasurably, but I have not had much
luck tracking it down. The only reference I've come across mentioned a
catalogue once held by the library at ... oh yes, nowadays it's known as
___hintdung_. You might also try a colleague of mine, _scholar_. %g is an
expert on _maker_. Wrote the definitive biography, although in my opinion ...
ah, well, no time to get into that old debate. You'll find _scholar_ in a
dank
hole called ___scholardung_. I don't see how %g can abide working in such
places. Hmm, yes, come back and see me in, say, =time1_ days and report your
findings. Yes? Splendid.
N0b11y18
You are loyal member of the Mages Guild, are you not, %pct? I have some guild
business of the gravest import that I would like you to handle.Perhaps you are
not as loyal as I thought.Very good. There is a rebel mage that we need
eliminated, by the name of _rebel_. A former pupil of mine, showed some
promise
but lacked the loyalty to the ancient principles of the Guild that are so
important to its continued survival. We have learned that %g is currently
doing some kind of unsanctioned research over in __rebelhouse_, apparently
oblivious to %g3 danger. You have =qtime_ days to dispose of this menace and
report back to me.Begone, %pcn.
O0b00y11
%pcf, a simple game. An item in a house that needs lifting. Are you up for
it?You'll go far in the Thieves Guild with that attitude. Sure you
will.That's
the spirit. As I said, nothing complicated about this job. A client wants to
get a hold of a certain antique ivory piece which currently resides in
_target_
here in __target_. You have two days to bring it to me, for a finder's fee of
_reward_ gold.The _heist_? Where is it?
O0b00y12
%pcf, I got a job for you if you're interested. A little package needs
delivering to ___contact1_. What do you say?Don't do me any favors, pal.Great.
Here's the package, some _drugs_. It needs to be in ___contact1_ as soon as
possible. _contact1_ will meet you there in __contact1_. Be careful. If word
of this shipment leaks out, we may have a bit of trouble with some freelance
smugglers who think they own the business in %reg.
S0000500
%qdt: I have received a letter from one _contact1_, asking me to
meet %g2 at _tavern_ in __tavern_, on some matter having to do with _traitor_
of Sentinel.%qdt: I met with _contact1_, who told me that _traitor_ languishes
in the dungeons of Sentinel, with his execution scheduled in =executiondelay_
days. _contact1_ begged me to rescue _traitor_ before it was too late.
S0000501
%qdt: I received a
letter from _queen_ of Sentinel. She says that _traitor_ has escaped, and she
would like me to come see her about tracking him down again.
S0000502
%qdt: _rebel_, the rebel mage who was once my quarry, has asked me to meet
%g3 messenger in _tavern_ in __tavern_.
S0000503
%qdt: I have received a mysterious summons to _tavern_ in __tavern_, I believe
by my friend _rebel_.

I've done the 'fetch the tiger' quest - and it was fun. Darn thing bit me three
times before it started listening to the bell (Had to whack it just once).
I started doing the "My friend is in serious danger, please help!", and got my
butt kicked... Had to go back to a previous save game for some reason or
another so haven't actually completed this one yet.
The longest one listed is the "help me with my research". I was _almost_ done
with it and the )(*&(*&$%# game crashed. Had to crawl two or three dungeons
just to get that far. Am currently trying to solve this one again - - I better
go up a level in the mages guild after finishing this one!

actually you'll only get 5 rep points when you finish it (the same as the
GUARD quests which I ONLY pick 9 times out of 10 since you usually get a
magic item and the loot from the thieves you kill sometimes is great
(found a Daedric Longsword at level 6! (but considering my LUCK is 70
maybe that's why)
The only time I pick dungeon quests is when I need to up my
stealth/backstabbing/lockpicking/etc skills.
