You'll have to take a couple of months' unpaid leave to delve deeply enough into Daggerfall. But if you do you'll find it a rewarding quest.
Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls, we're publishing our original reviews of each main game in the series from our archives. This review first ran in PC Gamer UK issue 35, back in September 1996.
So is it any good? Yes. Very. But it's also very, very slow. It's not quite as structure-less as Elite, but almost. At the start of the game you find yourself sitting in a dungeon and, you reason, Priority One must be escape. So, after duly hacking your way around dark corridors and large caverns for a few hours, the exit leaps out from a wall, and you emerge into the shining daylight.
But, just like those old DOS-based text adventures and 'real' role-playing games, Daggerfall's heart lies with your character advancement. Your character has various physical and mental attributes, and 12 skills which are based on these. As you adventure and use them they improve, and you get better at them. Also, exploring, ransacking and general pillaging turns up new equipment that you can either sell or use.
