I'm totally down with this and when I get a better PC for gaming, I may ask to have a copy of these mods for it. I miss the feel of tabletop gaming and early Elder Scrolls and Black Isle/Interplay games.
In his defense, Skyrim reloads the last save, so it's technically like you never died. And if he doesn't act IC like he knows what's coming up (which he didn't do, but still) then it's all fine.
(Be careful, now people will say they reload their character after they have been killed! Wait, that's what void does : > )
It doesn't quite work like that in this tho xD there's an in-game answer to player death, and this server keeps going after someone dies anyways. It's not like we all stop when someone dies...that would suck
Daggerfall has very intuitive and responsive combat. The concept of right clicking and dragging your mouse across the screen is great! Why can't more games do that?
