I have not played DOSfall but thank you so much for this! I want to play through daggerfall as it was intended in the 90s just with QoL and this mod helps a lot.
This mod, and it's importance cannot be overstated.
So many folks are hooked on the idea of "prettying-up" Daggerfall's graphics, audio, and presentation, but the finished product winds up looking and feeling like Baby's First Indie Game on Steam Greenlight - which is to say, overly dolled up, when the foundation doesn't warrant it.
In my personal experience, DFU is best used as a foundation for mounting some (frankly almost ESSENTIAL) quality of life improvements - while being able to retain some of that classic DOS Crust; something this mod is utterly INSTRUMENTAL in helping retain. The OPL version of the soundtrack is - at least in my opinion - superior to the more "realistic" sounding versions of each track, as that adlib sound adds to the classic-feeling charm.
If not for this seemingly simple mod, I probably wouldn't have put as many hours into DFU, as I have.

Hopefully there will be support for seamless looping in the future since it does sound a little awkward pausing when it should start playing again.
Might want to fix that.
