Beyond simply clicking to attack, Daggerfall's combat system has nuances that can be exploited. The direction you drag your mouse during an attack determines the type of swing (horizontal, vertical, thrust) and can influence damage or hit chance. Experiment with different attack directions to find what works best for your weapon type and enemy. Utilizing terrain to your advantage, such as kiting enemies around corners or using elevation, can be crucial. Don't forget about blocking; holding down the right mouse button with a shield or weapon equipped can reduce incoming damage. For mages, chaining spells effectively and using crowd control spells like paralysis or silence can turn the tide. Rogues should prioritize backstabs and ranged attacks from stealth. Always keep an eye on your stamina; running out can leave you vulnerable. Consider using potions mid-combat for quick buffs or healing.
