After years of development, the final version of Daggerfall Unity is finally available to the general public. In addition to being completely free, this remaster of the legendary second opus of the Elder Scrolls saga revisits the immense map of the RPG by bringing it up to date. While being compatible with the astronomical quantity of mods…
Have you finished Starfield and are you missing Bethesda games? Here is the remake of one of the studio’s oldest RPGs, but also the most ambitious in its history – some evil tongues will not hesitate to assert that the gameplay has changed very little between the two titles. Daggerfall is the second opus of the legendary series The Elder Scrolls, the last opus of which is none other than Skyrim. For several years now, a team of enthusiasts has taken on a crazy project: to completely remake the game on Unity by bringing these graphics and several other aspects up to date.
Crazy project, because Daggerfall is by far the most ambitious project in Bethesda’s history. Released in 1996 on MS-DOS (what a time), the game can boast of having one of the largest ever created for a video game: no less than 161,000 km². This therefore explains the duration of the development of its remake. 4 years after the release of the first alpha, the final version is now available. And it will be very difficult for you to resist if you are a fan of the Bethesda formula.

Daggerfall Unity is available, it’s time to dive back into it
This remake therefore has many sales arguments. Both compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac, it modernizes the graphics of the original title with improved lighting, compatibility with high definitions and various optimizations of the quality of life of the game. But, above all, Daggerfall Unity is entirely compatible with all mods developed by the community over the years.
On the advice of the developers, you can go for the incredible Quest Pack 1, which adds 195 quests to the already gargantuan original content, or the one which introduces the Archaeologists, a guild whose mission is to discover the The origin of Tamriel, the content where the Elder Scrolls takes place. Note that you will need to have a copy of the original game. That’s good: it’s already available for free on Steam. In theory, you should have something to keep you busy until The Elder Scrolls releases.
