Devote hours and save your kingdom

Daggerfall separates itself from other RPGs with its open-world format.

Daggerfall, first released in 1996, is still sucking hours upon hours from gamers. Despite the controls feeling a little outdated Daggerfall presents unparalleled gameplay. The first quest requires you to uncover the secrets of the King’s death. Basic inventory and a simple quest is all you get. The challenge requires an eye for solving mysteries.

Daggerfall separates itself from other RPGs with its open-world layout. You can spend hours discovering what happened to the King and saving the kingdom. With six potential endings to the story available, you’re given a lot of freedom. Daggerfall allows you to make your path and story. Options are endless, and very entertaining.

Although there is no multiplayer co-op, Daggerfall is not about playing with friends. You find partners, enemies, and rivals within the game itself. Each character reacts to the actions you take.

Fighting your foes takes some time to come to grips with. The controls can be clunky. Mastering this is less of an issue. You decide to help villagers, or terrorize them by becoming a werewolf. The gameplay is in-depth and runs in real-time. This is what makes Daggerfall’s gameplay so immersive.

Skills such as lockpicking, and pickpocketing makes it easy to get rich quick. Daggerfall gives players everything they want in an RPG. Spend some time getting to know the controls, it’s worth it!
