In my opinion what I think Bethesda should do is create an accumalitive game of ALL the past games combined into one HUGE game, -OR- Remake the older games for new systems, so fans that missed the first two or even three, who don't have decent gaming computers, can but the games for their owned system and enjoy what they missed, and maybe catch the refrences back to the old games that the new games always make

I'm all in favor of having all the provinces combined in a huge game, but not until we had stand alone games for all the provinces. For Morrowind and Cyrodiil it's too soon for a re-visit in my opinion, they're still solid for the currently available platforms.

This idea gets mentioned repeatedly here. Frankly, I don't see the attraction. It's never going to happen - the gameplay mechanics are just too different to combine the games into one.

How would this alter my life?

Arena offers absolutely no benefit to Daggerfall, let alone Skyrim.

And no-one wants to see a remake, because we all know Bethesda would piss one segment of fans off, much better to just let people remake the game themselves with mods.

You'd spend thousands of hours hunched over a computer keyboard, just coming up for pizza, drinks, and the occasional breath of air.

Personally I'd settle for copies of Arena and Daggerfall that don't need me to beat windows into submission to get them to work. As for combining them, why?

Daggerfall: http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?title=Daggerfall_:_DaggerfallSetup_EN
It installs the game with a pre-configured DOSBox, and provides shortcuts to simply launch the game. Also includes some patches, mods, and utilities (optional, IIRC).

There's a similar thing for Arena, but since it has the CD version of the game and Bethesda only released the floppy disk version for free, it's considered piracy and can't be linked.

Wow, I'll have to check this out. Thanks.

Huleed.......THANK YOU! But which do u prefer that link or daggerfallXL?

To the OP,, would love to see it but severly doubt we will ever see it happen. To many different mechanics plus the dragonbreak and the useage of CHIM would make it hard to stay lorewise. BUT I would buy and play non the less just to get the story from them.

If you want to actually play, use that link. DaggerXL isn't complete yet, so it can't be used to actually play through the game.

Once it is complete, though, I'd likely prefer DaggerXL. Higher resolutions, farther draw distance, better frame rates, higher sound and visual fidelity, enhanced modding capabilities...
