   It is like god of RPG went down to the developers and gave them the knowledge of a perfect RPG. Leveling, lots of awesome characters skills, deep lore, ability to buy any building, naked women, great story and so on. All this things, that recently appeared in modern games. And then developers tried to put all this knowledge into one big game... That were are all the problems started. You can't make a perfect RPG with mortal hands. :)
   Still, 10 out of 10, because its great and worth every hour of playing.… Expand

   Daggerfall is one of the greatest RPG's ever made. The amount of content, things to do, quality of content, and story were all overwhelming and memorable. The game's explorable land is actually twice the size of Great Britain, making it the largest, non-generated, landmass of any game of all time. It takes two real world weeks to walk form one side of the map to the other. That is pretty damn big. With multiple way to go through the main story, Daggerfall was truly built around the players wishes. As a roleplaying game, this was when PC gaming was at its greatest, with Daggerfall as a flagship game for this genre. Class creation and role playing as a character is amazing in the game. In my opinion, in comparison to modern games, the combat is pretty bad. But This is one of the most influential and amazing games of all time.… Expand

   Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall: This game was released in 1996 and deservingly won a Game of the Year Award. This game was my favourite game of all time until Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out and replaced it as my favourite. This game was a very ambitious attempt to create a massive interactive realistic RPG world where your actions would have consequences in the game. How you chose to talk to someone would change how they respond to you. Talk rude to a noble person they would not like you, talk noble to a rogue like character they wouldn't like you either, get it right and they would like you. If you went around murdering every innocent NPC you came across then the assassin's guild would try to recruit you. Pick pocket a lot of people then the thieves guild would try to recruit you, etc. You had to be careful what you did. If you joined the mages guild you were not supposed to kill or steal so if they found out you also joined the thives guild and/or assassin's guild you could get kicked out so your actions had real consequences. Also, if you murdered a lot of people in a town you could be arrested or if the town really didn't like you the guards would just try to kill you as soon as they saw you. If you got bit by a werewolf or a vampire you might turn into one permanently. The dungeons were so huge that you could get lost in them for days. The direction your rolled your computer mouse determined how you slashed your sword against your enemy. The questing in the game was pretty much free form, you talked to people in towns and they asked you to do stuff for them. many quests were exciting, you would do stuff like get and item out of the end of a dungeons, rescue hostages, do an assassination, etc. This was the days before MMOs and there lame go here and pick 10 flowers kinds of quests lol. You got better at the skills you used. If you swam a lot you became a good swimmer. If you used a sword a lot you became an expert at using a sword, etc. You could create your own spells and enchantments. When creating a character you could 1) pick a class, 2) answer a bunch of questions and have the game pick the class that matched your personality best or 3) create a completely custom character where you choose all of the stats and abilities yourself. Now this game has really bad graphics by today's standards (it was written for DOS since it was released prior to Windows 95) and it was the buggyist game I have ever played (you had to cheat with the console to complete some of the quests sometimes), but for its time this game was so ambitious and ahead of its time I have to give it a 10/10.… Expand

   Daggerfall is a great game. Though seriously dated by today's standards... it was a huge leap forward in free-roaming RPGs when it was released. Of course it was realeased with a huge amount of bugs as well.
   
   It looked great when it came out... and it was absolutely huge. After being patched (though never completely fixed) it was a great game. You can play through the story (which is fairly good) or you can just wander around and do what you want. This is an older game, so getting it to run on new hardware/software may be daunting unless you know what you're doing. But if you can take off your "graphics-goggles" and take your time... Daggerfall is a game worht playing. There are still people playing this game to this day... and you could literally play it for years and not see everything.… Expand
