Forum Overview :: The Elder Scrolls :: I tried playing Daggerfall this week.

[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]The controls are awful, there's no other way to put it. I have no idea how to cast a spell - the game says hit Backspace. That brings up the spell casting menu. I think I have picked "Shock." After exiting the spellcasting menu, the game put a line up that said, "Press the button to cast the spell." THE BUTTON. I can see how to <i>recast</i> a spell, but nothing in the game tells you how to actually cast it. (I could look it up in the manual, I guess.) (The reference card has nothing.) I found this on Reddit: [quote]1)"Backspace" bring up Spellmenu 2)Double Click "SHOCK" 3)Then Press "E"key (that I assigned as Activate KEY) [/quote] Nothing in the game or reference card tells you to do this that I could see. It's just a different way of making computers games. [/quote]
