DAGGERFALL PATCH IS AVAILABLE!
MoJo
The patch for Daggerfall is now available for download from numerous sites.
You can find it in Bethesda's area of many online services (Compuserve, AOL,
Genie to name a few), or you can get it from Bethesda's web site
(www.bethsoft.com).
I'm not sure of the complete list of bugs it fixes, but there were many of
them, large and small. The most important (IMHO) is that they seem to have
nailed down and fixed whatever was causing people to randomly be unable
to save/restore a game! So this alone is a biggie.
In fact, after trying out this patch, I was able to restore and continue
playing from a save game that had already been damaged. I'm told that
this won't always work, but it's worth a try if you've got a game you
would like to attempt to salvage.
Also, if you're having sound card problems, there is available a later
version of the HMI sound drivers which were used for Daggerfall. It seems
Bethesda can't post them on their web page (these are third party drivers)
but you can get them from HMI's web site (www.humanmachine.com). Don't
bother with these unless you're having sound problems or sound related
crashes, but if you think they'll help, they can be downloaded free.
Happy Daggerfalling!!!

P.S. if you bought your game someplace other than CompUSA, the 'extra' quests
and artifacts are available on Compuserve (GO BETFORUM) and AOL. These
haven't been made officially available by Bethesda (contractually I guess
they can't do it yet) but helpful customers have uploaded them to these
services.

Can some helpful person upload these files to somewhere where the non-AOL and Compuserve
people can download them.
Thanks.

Looks like they still haven't address the fact that the pre-made
classes all suck compared to anything you can create :-)
Like: A Warrior/Knight/Barbarian isn't exactly a spell caster, so why
not use the following disadvantages Bad spell in dark & light and no
spell point regeneration at all.
Essentially they aren't disadvantages at all, but are worth enough
that you can add 30 hp/level, a couple of advantages and *still* have
a advancement difficulty pretty close to the lower mark (0.3-0.5)...
And that's not counting the really ridiculously power-full spell caster
/ spell absorber munchkin someone posted about (create an area effect
spell, then use it at close range to get almost unlimited magical
firepower from the absorption of your own spell)...

Hmm, are you sure about that? It was a while (at least 8 months) since
I looked at HMI's license, but as I remembered it this would
definitely be allowed. It would be much more surprising if they didn't
allow it, you can easily distribute is a patch to Daggerfall.
I believe other companies have done exactly that.
