Comparitively, how difficult are Arena and Daggerfall?
I have played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim and I am looking to play Arena and Daggerfall but I am a little wary because I have heard they are very difficult. I did not have very many problems with Morrowind once I read a few build guides, and I have played Fallout 1 & 2 and not had too many problems.
I am just not sure I want to try playing them if they are too difficult for me to enjoy them.
I wouldn't say they're more difficult per se. But they're very different in terms of gameplay. The later 3 are the same engine and Todd Howard as dirrector. The earlier are made for DOSS, different engine, and while Todd was involved they had a different director. This all makes them more different compared to the later 3.
If anything, I was suprised bow well they play despite the odd mouse-only controlls. I think Morrowind is the most difficult overal, but Arena and Daggerfall will take a bit more getting used to.
Arena is quite demanding
My suggestion is to play Daggerfall first, with the modern engine called Daggerfall Unity
If you find yourself having fun, then giving Arena a try would not be so bad idea.
