Subject: Daggerfall

A while ago I posted a message telling you that The Elder Scrolls I: Arena was available for free download from their official site, well as of last month, the Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall is also freely available to download.

The player can travel almost anywhere on the map, each area with hundreds of visitable locations.Daggerfall is the largest Elder Scrolls game to date, featuring a game world estimated as being 161,600 square kilometres (62,394 square miles or 40,400,000 acres) with over 15,000 towns, cities, villages, and dungeons for the player's character to explore. According to Todd Howard, Elder Scrolls programmer, the game's sequel, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is 0.01% the size of Daggerfall, but it should be noted most of Daggerfall's terrain was randomly generated. Vvardenfell, the explorable part of Morrowind in the third game has 15.5 square kilometres (6 square miles).[1][2] The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has approximately 41.4 square kilometres (16 square miles) to explore. [3] In Daggerfall, there are 750,000+ non-player characters (NPCs) for the player to interact with, compared to the count of around 1000 NPCs found in Morrowind and Oblivion. The geography and the characters in these later games are much more detailed.

An automap was implemented to help players navigate through the lengthy tombs and ancient underground fortresses. Players have to visit approximately 6-8 areas in order to finish the game, although a total of 47 areas are present. A limited array of building blocks were used to construct the towns and dungeons, causing some reviewers to complain about the game's monotony. In 2002, Morrowind, the third game in the series, responded to this issue with a smaller, more detailed world with unique-looking cities and NPCs with greater individuality.

I repeat: 15,000 towns, cities, villages, and dungeons for the player's character to explore....holy shit

So download it and play:
