Really? So this DaggerfallSetup thing I downloaded and ran without a hitch is not reall then?

I would guess Roman5 refers to official releases. DaggerfallSetup is a "GOGification" the official Daggerfall freeware release (the latter just includes the game, not DOSBox), but is very much unofficial unless I miss my guess.

So TS, you can already mark the solution for your question.

DRM free and getting the map and such would be the main reasons.

Morrowind has no intrusive DRM (and a no-cd will fix the rest).

And you can find the map (which is way better than the TES IV map) at the imperial library (http://www.imperial-library.info/content/morrowind-maps) alongside other hi-rez maps.

All the mods and updates can be found online easily. There are no reasons to have TES I,II,III on GoG. Unlike some other game like Aztec for which you could all vote.... for instance

You realize some people refuse to use such things, right? I mean I use them, if I buy a game I will use it however I want, but a lot of people refuse to do so.

Yeah, it's cute how some people just don't realize that many "gogified" games simply have a no-cd crack slapped on. (which is fine by me, btw)

Anyway, having the CD in the drive is not such a big deal. It is not a DRM stricto sensu.

That's nice. The point is there are reasons to buy the game here and replace your old disc copies. If you don't think they are reason enough then good for you.

DOSBox is incredibly pissy about running Arena and Daggerfall. The most recent version of Arena, while in its own right not entirely stable anyhow, will crash and cause DOSBox to throw exceptions because it does some really weird shit with the CPU.

As far as Daggerfall is concerned - DOSBox runs it satisfactorily, but no means perfectly. My eyes are firmly fixed on the in-development DaggerXL drop-in replacement engine which will, if and when it's finished, address all the emulation issues that DOSBox has and also allow a much smoother gameplay experience.

Would be better if Bethesda just released native 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the executables, but I would bet that the source code is long gone.

It's all about the demand. Not that there is so little demand that it's not worth releasing. To the contrary, they hold it back to get the demand up to a fever pitch and then release it at the peak, in order to maximize the excitement within the community and also to make the most of the release in the gaming press.

Joke, in case anyone thought I was serious.
