Daggerfall:NPCs

NPCs in Daggerfall come in two different types, flats (the stationary ones) which reside in either buildings or dungeons (usually during quests), and towns people (the wandering ones) that can be found exploring the streets of various towns and cities, or strolling around the premises of farmsteads and manors.

Flats

A quester at a Fighters Guild

Flats main purposes are to add detail to interiors, offer services and give or take part in various quests.

Interaction

Interaction with Flats is mostly limited to dialog, and quests, with there being no way to kill or pickpocket them. However if a quest requires that an NPC with dialog options must be killed, like in Former Student Part I, Daggerfall will just remove the flat and spawn in a (usually) human enemy once dialog is finished.

Towns People

A towns person in Daggerfall city

Towns people are most commonly found in towns or cities, and serve the purpose of livening up the city scape while also supplying the player with the locations of various building and places, as well as information about various factions, people, and any recent news.

Interaction

Unlike flats, towns people can be killed or have their pockets picked, however carrying out any of these actions will most likely summon the town guards. Just like in Arena towns people will only stop for you when you're weapon is sheathed.

Movement system

Towns people walking system is grid based, with there being 3 different types of tiles.

1. Preferable (For paths or roads)
2. Undesirable (For grass or dirt areas)
3. No-Go (Inside buildings and other objects as well as water)

Daggerfall Unity Vs Daggerfall Tools For Unity

Daggerfall Tools For Unity and Daggerfall Unity are often confused or lumped together, however they are not the same thing. Daggerfall Tools For Unity are a set of tools to extract and use various Daggerfall files in the Unity engine, while Daggerfall Unity is using these tools to help recreate Daggerfall in Unity.

Progress
