The best TES game (IMO) is now available for free! I played this game to death when it was released, and it's great that newer audiences will be able to appreciate it. Right now you need Dosbox to run it, but also keep an eye on DaggerfallXL, which is porting the game into a newer and easier to run game engine. This week just keeps getting better and better!

The best Elderscrolls game hands down imo.

Was soooooo good when it came out hehe, still enjoyable though if you can get by the graphics.

I thought this day would never come, too bad I already bought a copy off Ebay for $60... Either way, DaggerfallXL is looking great!

The best game in the series.

For those who've played Morrowind and Oblivion and not this, don't expect this game to be anything like those two games .. expect a far deeper expirence, breifly there's more skills, multiple endings, deeper dialogue options, more weapons .. hell, you can even go to court after murder.. and a lot more. It's generally a longer game aswell, although the randomly generated parts of the world and the inaccessibility of the game can hurt the sense of immersion.

and there's t!ts aswell, for the DOA fans.

Given the amount of exploits in the older three games, i cant call them deep. I really hope they strike a good balance between Morrowind and Oblivion in the next game.

Still in five years time? There may be compatibility issues with future OS's, which would make it a hard sell (games from the late nineties, like Thief suffer from this).

But it all remains to be seen.

Wow.... umm.... the game looks archaic..... I'm sure it was good for its time, but for me.....FREE boring crap is still boring crap.

I'm not a graphics ***** but.... umm.... ugh, why would anyone want to play that game now?

I loved Lands of Lore II back in the day.... but no way in hell could I force myself to play it now.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, in this day and age, I can find better games to play.

Grats to those that actually want this though... have fun.

You can't? That's a shame, exploits do exist, depends if you want to use them though, oblivion was hardly exploit free .. it had a money exploit when if used could practically make you a millionaire.

If you're going to say that Oblivion is deeper than Daggerfall and Morrowind just becuase Oblivion has less exploits, then I don't think that's a convincing argument. I'd rather use the wealth of options, items, classes and game mechanics Daggerfall and Morrowind have over oblivion to make that judgement.

Wish I had a gaming rig. The first Elder Scrolls I played was Morrowind and loved the franchise and trusted the devs since.

I dont know, its so easy to earn money in the older games and then level up all aspects of your character to godliness.

Well then I sure hope you don't play Starcraft.
