The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall 1.0

The Elder Scrolls is now a household name in gaming, but pretty much exclusively because of the breakout hit Skyrim was. Oblivion was also well regarded, but didn't have quite the same amount of impact. But what about the ones before that? Well, many old fans of the series will tell you that the earlier entries, while uglier and less refined, exceeds even the current entries in some ways. Let's take a look at The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, one of the best in terms of roleplaying.

To install The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, simply run the installer and you're good to go.

This game looks old. There's no getting around it, and it's old enough that mods aren't really enough to make it look good. It's better to simply remake it in a different engine than trying to make this particular engine look good.

This game is extremely complex, especially in comparison to modern Elder Scrolls titles. There are a ton of different skills and traits that you can play with when you create your character, some of which I still have no idea what they do.

The best part about this game is verticality. You can climb virtually any wall, so you can be a thief who dresses only in ninja outfits and leaps from rooftop to rooftop in search of your next quarry. On top of that, dungeons in this game are massive - much larger than modern Elder Scrolls games. You will really feel like you're diving deep into forgotten places that are inaccessible.

Overall, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall has a lot to offer dedicated roleplayers. If you want to experience one of the best games around in earlier days, then you should definitely take a look at this game.
