Daggerfall Unity is finished after 10 years’ development, and works perfectly

I might pick this up and try it out. I’ve only played Skyrim even though I own Morrowind and Oblivion.

    The combat isn’t any better the further back you go, it’s actually worse. Combat’s never been a strength of this series.

    Daggerfall is a very different game from Skyrim. It’s much more about hardcore RP, like you can actually fail the main plot if you don’t complete the first quest within a few weeks of in-game time.

      Thanks for the reply. I’m not adverse to more hardcore RP and actually having consequences. Maybe I’ll give it a try seen as I can pick it up for free, I should be able to tell pretty quickly if the combat is going to be bareable for me or not I guess.

      I’ve tried to start oblivion 3 times and skyrim 4 and every time I quit before very long at all. Maybe I should resign myself to the fact this series just isn’t for me and wait for Dragons Dogma 2 xD

        If the floaty combat is all that bothers you, have you tried playing a pure mage?

          I haven’t to be fair, I usually prefer melee based builds when I play stuff so I usually default to that play style when I’m playing a game for the first time. Maybe I should try!

            Maybe cheat around a bit to get yourself set up for it around the start but I found it a pretty cool way to play a game without any weapons.
