Adronson Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Do people only dislike ARENA and Daggerfall because of the graphics, or do you think it is more to do with the vast array of bugs and the over-reliance on randomly generated content? Because hardly anyone has played them, but heaps have played both Morrowind and Oblivion. The other thing that prompted me to say this was because people still play Morrowind, and it has become quite bad graphics-wise without mods. I played them both when they came out and grew weary of both of them fairly soon. At least on Arena, and as I recall Daggerfall as well, there was a large world but only a few dungeon models. For me, the graphics were fine, but after playing a while I could recognize the dungeon model almost as soon as I entered and think "ok, this one is down, left, left, right - the boss will the there - and back." Trudge half way across the world and step into the same dungeon caused me to loose immersion pretty quick. I don't recall finishing either of the first two. Of course that was about 17 years ago, and my memory may be off. Anyway, for me, the series got a lot more interesting with Morrowind. And made a great leap with the modding community stepping in.

Deleted472477User Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I loved Daggerfall, I could have done without the bugs, mind! And those never-ending dungeons. Otherwise though, I loved it. I look back on it fondly, but it's kind of like an ex who was a great person, time got in the way and you drifted apart, though. Still great, and you think about them now and then, but that's it. I miss the richness of the lore, or maybe I just see it as such because until then I'd never played anything so engrossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreekillX1Alpha Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I personally preferred Daggerfall to Oblivion and Morrowind; mainly because the use of precedural generation allowed the game to be so massive, if i could id use procedural generation with Skyrim's engine (combine that with Radiant AI and Radiant Story and it might make a very interesting game); to bad that would never happen.

gretzky99 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I bought Arena back in 1995. I thought it was okay at the time. But I did not get too far into it. Boy, when I look back...it sure was sucky graphicswise! I skipped Daggerfall, but bought Morrowind in 2004, Oblivion in 2006, Fallout3 in February 2011, and will be at the store buying SKyrim on Triple Elevensies.

And why should, i it was a breakthrough in graphics at that time. You would think probably the same then...but enough of that :hurr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted472477User Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I started playing it again this morning. No, it's not perfect, but I'm having fun, and for me that's what matters! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkormgc Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I loved Daggerfall. Morrowind was a disappointment for me. Because I just expected a "Daggerfall II" then. But later I got to appreciate it. Though Morrowind felt quite depressing most of the time. Since Daggerfall, the game that I like the most is Skyrim.

lolozori Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 for me Daggerfall is the best RPG i ever played and is much much deeper than Morrowind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
