Name: Skip Intro Video for Daggerfall Unity
Version: 1.0
Author: XJDHDR
Download locations:
Nexus Mods: | Direct link | Ad supported interstitial link |
Description
Skips the "Bethesda Softworks presents Daggerfall" video that plays between the Daggerfall Unity options and Daggerfall's New/Load Game menus.
Details
There isn't much to say really. This mod provides a replacement video file that replaces the game's intro video with a blank one. This causes the game to not show the "Bethesda Softworks presents Daggerfall" video that plays between the Daggerfall Unity options and Daggerfall's New/Load Game menus.
FAQ
- Can you port this to or make it work in Classic Daggerfall?
- No, I can't. To make this work in the original game, I would have to convert the video file to a compatible format. The biggest difficulty is that the video stream would need to be encoded using the "Bethesda VID" codec. I don't know of any program that can do this. Even FFmpeg only has support for decoding that codec, not encoding.
- What if a mod I already have installed replaces the intro video?
- This mod is provided as a loose file so any dfmod package which provides a modded intro video will automatically be overridden. As for mods that distribute their modded video as a loose file, just make sure that the video provided by this mod overwrites any existing videos.
Requirements
This mod requires Daggerfall Unity. Any of the releases available should work but I recommend sticking to the latest version if possible.
Installation instructions
You can install this either using Vortex or manually. I recommend that you use mod managers to manage your games' mods and avoid manual management. Either way, you need to ensure that you have asset injection activated to make mods work. To check, open Daggerfall Unity. At the main menu, click on the Advanced button, click on the Enhancements tab and make sure that the Mod Systems and Asset Injection boxes are selected.
Vortex
This mod has been packaged in a Vortex compatible manner. Simply click on the Mod Manager Download button on the Files page then install and deploy it the same way you would for any other mod. If you need help, you can try one of these tutorials or ask in the Vortex forum:
- Youtube: VORTEX - Beginner's Guide #2 : Installing Mods
- Nexus Mods wiki: Installing your first mod with Vortex
Manual
- Manually download the archive from the Files page.
- Open the following folder: <Location you installed Daggerfall Unity>\DaggerfallUnity_Data\StreamingAssets
- Extract the contents of the archive you downloaded into the folder above. If prompted, overwrite any files already there.
Uninstallation instructions
Instructions depend on whether you used Vortex to install this mod or did so manually.

Simply deactivate the mod in Vortex then delete it. These tutorials should help if you don't know how to do this:
