The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

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.

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.

Awsomw, love this site. Helps out alot.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Played it on the first PC of my own, from parts donated by friends who upgraded. A great game to play almost 30 years later. If you suddenly realised you've been busy and Lady Brisienna is long gone from the inn, don't worry. Take your time, advance in the guilds, learn the ropes. The next toon, with a different build and purpose, might warp the West instead.

I would really like to experience the narrative of this game but I think I'll stick to Let's Plays on YouTube.
