Summary
ArsTechnica (Ars) has opted to write about free games for a change, with the focus on nostalgia and not revenue.
For the writer of this particular article, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall was a formative experience and remains a game they go back to.
Therefore, choosing Daggerfall for this series seemed fitting, following as it does the recent death of its co-creator, Julian LeFay.
Looking at Daggerfall offers a glimpse of what 1990s PC gaming was like, as well as illustrating the reasons why gaming has moved on from there.
While the writer loves Daggerfall, they accept that it is not universally loved and is especially difficult for younger gamers brought up on different styles of game.
Daggerfall was more about experimentation than constantly feeding the player fun in a carefully designed manner.
