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.

The game that really started the legend

ES Arena is the first, but it was....basic. Daggerfall in my opinion is the real start of the amazing lore and deep storytelling Elder Scrolls is known for. So much is established (and in some cases retconed, but I digress...) that we know today. The gameplay is basic, as you would expect, but let's be real, you know that. You play Daggerfall for the thrill of exploring a big world and the amazing story. Which you can. And should. Do it. You will not regret it. Play Daggerfall and experience a simpler time...before Bethesda became...whatever they are nowadays.

My new favorite elder scrolls!

The epitome of a good ol game! BUT make sure to instal unity and some texture mods to bring it up to speed and make playable. After that its addicting and fun! unlike other elder scrolls your will find this game actually challenging rather that a joke like oblivion and skyrim. Its a lot like the MM series and with the unity upgrades its easy to get into. Simply fantastic! Elder scrolls fans must play!

My Favorite Elder Scrolls Game

My first Elder Scrolls game was Oblivion back in like 2012 and I've played every single one (not counting the spin offs) since then. Daggerfall is my favorite. The amount of content this game has (especially for coming out in 1996) is unheard of in most RPGs. What other RPG do you know of where you can take out a loan at a bank? The combat feels responsive, and the music is amazing. I've put 700 hours into the DOS version (the one you download from UESP) and probably about 500 in the Unity port. I can't reccomend this game enough.
