Daggerfall was the first game that really got its hooks in me. It had everything I wanted, a huge open world, tons of different items, getting to dress up my character :)
I must have spend hours just visiting every single town, playing tourist and just ignoring the story. It was all about exploring and role playing for me.
My path through gaming unfortunately never led me down a path were I paid attention to Elder Scrolls until Oblivion came out. I still need to play Daggerfall though. Thanks to GOG and our gaming community I will.
Yes! I recently started playing it again, it's still a lot of fun as long as you can look past the old gameplay mechanics and manage to get out of the starting dungeon.
I hope you'll enjoy it!
