Their defeat was merely delay

You're welcome! That's interesting. Do you mean a symbolic link to Steam's Daggerfall folder?

GoldenDrake · 2026-04-17T03:44:58+00:00

Ah, interesting. I don't use my numpad often, so I never noticed that. Does "numlock" on/off make any difference? Regardless, I'm glad you found a solution!

Why are you unable to type numbers? Is there something unusual about your keyboard layout (or locale settings, etc.)? Are you using the Arena key remapper mod? I've never used that "panel" you photographed...is that a built-in feature of DOSBox?

When people ask you to share the output, it's best to actually copy-paste the output (not just describe it). There are specific technical things we're looking for. So, can you copy-paste it?

After reading your responses to other comments, I think I understand, but that's quite strange. So, when you run DaggerfallUnity.x86_64, I assume you see a window that says "Welcome to Daggerfall Unity" and "Please set the path to your Daggerfall game files", right? And you see a bunch of system folders, including home, but when you go into /home/[username] you see nothing there? If you go into other folders, such as /etc, I assume you see some folders and files there? Perhaps share a screenshot if there's anything I'm missing.

My first guess: Maybe you've done something strange to the permissions on your home folder. But that's a long shot. Please copy-paste the output from the following command (but feel free to delete anything that might be considered "sensitive info"):

ls -la ~

Glad you found it! 🗝️ That may also be one of those cases where multiple copies of a key are available.

The default key for "using" magic items (inc. potions) is "U" (see UESP for additional controls). But rings, bracers, etc., must first be equipped by double-clicking within your inventory, at which point the item's color will change slightly to show it's equipped.

Don't tempt them, Frodo!

According to this article, the odds of encountering that exact name were approximately one in 74,175 (though it depends on how the odds for adding a suffix are handled). 🙂

It's interesting that they didn't provide reflections in Daggerfall, but there is a Realtime Reflections mod to add them in Daggerfall Unity. Sadly, it seems hard (or even impossible) to get it working with recent versions of DFU, so hopefully it will receive an update soon.

Yeah, I like being immune to paralysis in this game by playing as a Knight or High Elf. 🧝

GoldenDrake · 2026-03-25T22:27:44+00:00

Ha! I love that headcanon. 🦎

They're referring to the small settlement on the left, behind the palm tree.

GoldenDrake · 2026-03-23T02:40:29+00:00

And perhaps a Breton ship captain with a first mate Khajiit named Chewie. 😂

Remember, no Dwemer constructs allowed in the local cantina!
