If you haven’t checked out the remaster of Elder Scrolls 2, now’s the time

Long-time players of The Elder Scrolls series will need no introduction to Daggerfall, the second entry in Bethesda’s fantasy franchise. However, if you have never played this absolute classic – albeit wholly retro-looking – RPG, now’s the perfect time.

You see, the Daggerfall Unity project has finally released version 1.0 of this unofficial remake (thanks, ), which you can download from . Intended as a more stable release of previous builds, this update represents the next stage of a recreation that’s been ongoing for a few years.

Yes, some of you may scoff at the fact that this was made in the Unity engine. But you may take some comfort in knowing that it was made long before the debacle that saw the company’s reputation take a nosedive.

Again, free to download

While The Elder Scrolls 2 is free to play through , many would recommend the Unity version instead. It’s a complete remake of the original 1996 release, done from the group up, but it doesn’t lose its classic aesthetic and gameplay. It’s simply been rebuilt in a different engine.

The visuals have been given a spit shine, but it still looks like a 90s DOS game. Add onto that Daggerfall Unity supporting mods, of which the🍬re are , and it🃏 should make for a good time.

While Skyrim is the one most people think of when it comes to TES, older𝔉 ꦗgamers such as myself fondly recall some of the more dated installments.

True, going back to their original iterations can be hard work on modern systems, but the Unity remake of Daggerfall is easily the definitive way to check out this legendary RPG. Especially now the full release is out. If you’re at least interested, on changes and improvements in more detail.
