Daggerfall:Language Skills

Language skills are used to pacify creatures. Whenever you go close to a creature, the game will check the corresponding language skill. If successful, the creature will be non-hostile (will not attack unless provoked). All language skills are governed by Intelligence.

NotesEdit

• The game will not inform that you have pacified a creature. Resting and fast travelling near pacified creatures is also not possible.
  • Daggerfall Unity changes the behavior so that a message informs the player when a creature has been pacified through language skills. Resting and fast traveling are enabled when pacified creatures are nearby.
• Language skills are hard to increase making them impractical for real use.
  • Daggerfall Unity changes the behavior so that successful checks will increase language skills three times faster than Daggerfall.
