Description
The ancient golem Numidium, a powerful weapon once used by the great Tiber Septim to unify Tamriel, has been found in Iliac Bay. In the power struggle that follows, the King of Daggerfall is murdered and his spirit haunts the kingdom. The Emperor Uriel Septim VII sends his champion to the province of High Rock to put the king’s spirit to rest and ensure that the golem does not fall into the wrong hands. Daggerfall offers you an opportunity to adventure in total freedom within a world where you destiny is of your own making and consequence evolves from your decisions. A world of love and darkness, magic and sorcery. Whether you choose to follow a quest or to venture out alone, you will interact with thousands of people as you travel across an expansive land in a time of fantasy and imagination.

The much-awaited sequel to the critically-acclaimed Arena, Daggerfall builds on its predecessor in the all the right ways, bringing more content, more stories and more combat. The introduction of guilds and commerce provide you with the means to create your own political intrigue and extend your influence in the world of Tamriel. Also receiving rave reviews at launch, Daggerfall is a must-play for Elder Scrolls and RPG-fans alike.

Everything that Bethesda is.

It's clumsy, rickety, and filled with bugs. It is also largely the basis for all Bethesda games going forward from it. It can be quite a feat to look into the technology they put into this game, but only when it's all working properly. Which, even at the final release, it wasn't. The thing is, Daggerfall tried to do far too much in a very limited technological space, and there were consequences that were immediately pigeonholed into. Nearly every complaint anyone has had with the Elder Scrolls as a series can directly trace linage to here. Terrible inventory systems, overtly long dungeons to little to no reward, a story that will be retconned into something more generic, NPCs with the personality of a flat sprite, it all starts here.

Not bad at all

Not bad for an open-world game. Just do any task and everything's great.

Definitely a old school game

I appreciate this game for being a building block for the ESO series to become what it is now, for we would'nt have new additions to the series without the games made prior. Though for someone who has been console exclusive and first introduction to the ESO franchise was Skyrim (which does make me bias against PC and older games) this one just isn't for me, but I can see why this was/is popular with people who are familiar with PC controls and games of the earlier era's.
