📋 About This Mod
In Daggerfall when creating a class you get to answer a few questions to determine your starting stats and equipment. This mod allows you to do just that. It can only be done once so choose your answers wisely.
1. 2-TD
Now includes an optional version that requires Tamriel_Data. It will allow you to get an "Ebony Dagger" for that closer feeling to Daggerfall.
1. 2
Background questionnaire now happens automatically during chargen after you pick up your release papers. This makes it much more seamless.
If you've already started your character use the command player->additem "chargen statssheet" 1 then read the scroll after dropping it.
Fixed small bug that ends the questionnaire if you choose "favorite book".
Requirements
Requires the use of OpenMW. No guarantees it will work on the vanilla engine.
This mod adds Daggerfall-style background questions to the character creation screen, seamlessly integrated into the chargen. It's a small, niche gameplay mod for fans of the classic Elder Scrolls game, with 18 endorsements and last updated in June 2020.
