Bethesda Releases Daggerfall For Free

On Thursday, Bethesda announced that for the 15th anniversary of the Elder Scrolls series, they were releasing The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall for free. They aren't providing support for the game anymore, but they posted a detailed description of how to get the game running in DOSBox. Fans of the series can now easily relive the experience of getting completely lost in those enormous dungeons. Save often.

You know what would be really cool?

The source.

Not to say I am ungrateful for the release ... it would just be really cool to be able to try to extend the game, breath some new life into it and such.

Totally Agree

This game was actually challenging. These days game designers are so worried that you won't see 100% of their work, that they make the game easy.

As a result, most games today are more "sandbox" than they are "game" and the whole thing just gets boring.

I wish Bethesda would make another extremely challenging game. They need to stop worrying so much about easing players into a nice, unchallenging bath -- and give players more depth, more complexity and more challenge.

Somewhere along the line, Bethesda concluded that console gamers are too stupid to play games like Daggerfall. This is what has ruined their more recent games. While they're still enjoyable -- they're not the kind of thing that drives you to know what's beyond the next mountain... and to spend a day figuring out how to equip yourself in order to get there...
