Daggerfall : Unauthorized Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series.)

Rating:
Summary: Pretty worthless
Review: It is very useful as a tip book, and it does tell you about quests. However, for some of the finer points, that is all it has, tips. It won't tell you much about soul trap besides that you need an empty vessel and it's not too helpful as far as how you go about finding good souls. It offers how to contract lycantropy or vampirism, but not an easy was either to do this or to kill vampires. It also has no maps or indepth information, just guidelines for "power players." It also assumes the person is playing on Win 95, when it works a lot better on Win 98. On the bright side I spent very little on this, so I go what I paid for.

Summary: a great strategy guide for an excellent game!
Review: This stragegy guide has almost everything an rpg player would need to finish daggerfall. This book gives you strategy and tips on fighting monsters, customizing your own character, dungeon crawling, the problems of everyday life, from politics to killing, and many other tips and strategies that help the gamer enjoy daggerfall to their utmost capacity. My only complaint is that the book contains no maps on the important dungeons such as castle sentinel or castle wayrest. my advice is get this book if you can find it. in addition get the official strategy guide entitled DAGGERFALL CHRONICLES. Normally it's better to get the official strategy guides as opposed to the unofficial ones. However, Daggerfall Unauthorized Strategy Guide has more strategy, tactics, and player insights than the official guide, but the official guide has all the necessary maps. The bottom line is: if you need tips to finish the game, buy this book ASAP! If all you care about are easy ways to walkthrough dungeons, then stick with the official guide. The official guide, however, is also out of print.
