They sent me a new printer recently, but I still haven't even unboxed it. I barely got my current one to work properly (there was a time when it couldn't print Excel sheets or PDF's), so I am really worried about having to install a new one. Therefore I might look for some way to pass it onto someone else.

We are doing our best to avoid spoilers - his first encounters with Chthon and the Vores were genuine surprise. The Spawn should be too. Who wouldn't appreciate that bouncing little bundle of joy that explodes in your face :P

Ironically, the best way to enjoy Daggerfall seems to be avoiding the main quest altogether and just messing around with the world. The primary quests are definitely the buggiest aspect of the game. I actually took some precautionary measures and patched up the game with an alternative DOS extender - I read that it is one way to avoid a critical bug that always causes the game to freeze when the main quest reaches a certain point. I don't know if this bug was really going to happen to me, but I decided to play it safe and used this workaround anyway. It supposedly reduces the chance of random crashes as well.

From what I've read, they initially planned to have the option of keeping to Totem to yourself, but it was never really implemented into the game. So in the end you really have to give it to someone else. I gave it to the orcs because their cause seemed most noble - to establish their own kingdom and earn their freedom. It matches well with the very recent national holiday we had (Liberation Day).

Curious news - 3D Realms is going to unveil a new game based on the Quake engine. There has been a "renaissance" of retro shooters over the last few years, and some devs have decided to go all the way, even using the actual oldschool engines. 3DR already have a Build-engine game on the way (Ion Maiden), and now this mysterious Quake-engine thing... Other currently popular "retro" shooters I've been told about are Dusk (which seems to imitate Quake's visual style) and Amid Evil (which clearly takes inspiration from the Heretic/Hexen series).
