Proto:The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall/"Betony" Demo

This is a sub-page of Proto:The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.

To do: Include the remainder of differences from the demo from here.

The third and final Daggerfall demo, released on November 9th, 1995. It contains a tutorial and questline, along with the character creation menu in its entirety along with most gameplay mechanics. Your save automatically ends after 50-100 days, although you can infinitely create new save files.

Differences from the final game

The Betony demo features several changes from the final game.

World

• All of the locations featured in the Betony demo, including the titular Betony are not included in the final game.
• While the whole map is able to be seen in the demo, only the Betony region can be accessed.

Guilds

• Perks that are normally gained from being high ranking in a guild are available once you join the guild, so demo players wouldn't have to advance to gain perks.
• Daedra summoning is unavailable

Skills

• Skills cannot go above 40%

Spells

• There are three spells that don't appear in the final game, although they have no visual effect when cast.
  • A polymorph spell which would've been able to turn you into a bat, raven, fish or wolf.
  • A diminuation spell which would shrink you to half your original height.
  • A detect spell which would work like detect life in later games except it could also detect magic and treasure.

Miscellaneous

• There is a 50-100 day time limit for each save but an infinite number of saves can be created.
• No ships are available for purchase and player ship locations are missing from the MAPS.BSA file, likely because you cannot leave the island of Betony.
• There is no death animation if the player dies.
