Daggerfall - big problems solved!

    A short piece by Brian Burke, adapted from an email

I concluded that my Daggerfall game was corrupt and I sent a
zipped saved game off to Hal Bouma, one of the Bethesda
programmers in the hope that he could resurrect the main quest for
me. I only had 2 quests to go to finish, but my Log was empty -
aaarrrggghh!

Well, the good news, thought you'd like to know that Bethesda, Hal
Bouma specifically, did fix my broken saved game. An employee by
the unlikely name of Charity Muse actually did the work. She said
that she didn't know why the main quest had gone dolally but here
was a fix - hopefully.  Well it was fixed and I have finished the
main quest. I'm eking out the game by playing as a Vampire, lots
of stats have risen by 30 points, so my speed is 130 and Stealth &
Hand-to-Hand both 125. Killing things is a doodle. I have Immunity
to Paralysis as well as Poison.

Point is though, IF other players think it's all over with a
broken game, it isn't. Bethesda are providing a great after sales
service here. OK the game shouldn't be bugged, but it IS complex
and it's the best œ30 I've ever spent.
