If you're okay with dying several times in the beginning, you can experience one of the most engrossing RPGs ever... Just, don't play the original, play the Unity remake.

The novelty of this game is in its scale but I do think it sacrifices a lot to do this resulting in cookie cutter quests and the towns being ubiquitous in their design and layout. The gameplay is largely a bunch of obnoxious stat checks and exploits and I don't think there's much in the way of making its utility interesting in spite of how complex its character building is. The RNG dungeons can often be goddamn TEDIOUS too. But in spite all that, it's a cool enough novelty I can't totally hate.

Daggerfall confronts the player with a labyrinthine freedom, a world so immense it verges on absurdity. Every choice is possibility and burden, offering liberation yet threatening meaninglessness. Its imperfections mirror human existence: flawed, overwhelming, but undeniably alive.
