Daggerfall was a rather large game for its time something like 500 megs so um no that would take up far too much space on the disc.

Pfft...more like if it weren't just utterly ridiculous. Where are these Daggerfall games saved? "Damn, I know one of these Skyrim saves has the Daggerfall save I want to play in it..." :facepalm:

I wouldnt mind having it on the same disk as Skyrim as a sort of bonus as Ive not played them, I started TES at Morrowind.

It's not a ridiculous idea. But it takes away all the seriousness from the game. I mean, you open a book and it takes you back to a part of Morrowind or Daggerfall? Come on!

I say NO! Maybe if this was an arcade style game, but not for TES.

YES THIS CAN WORK

I'm not sure if it is illegal or not since Daggerfall and Arena were free to download as of late. Normally you couldn't remake a game quest for quest and so on because of copyright issues, usually because the mod would be free and cut from sales. If I won't get sued, I'd be willing to mod in Arena. Not sure how you would pull off modding in Daggerfall though, too big.



Not to mention it is the largest game world ever created.

i don't get why you are getting so much hate on this thread.
this is an awesome idea in every meaning of the word!

if bethesda can do it, they should do it.

Bethesda CAN do it but they shouldn't do it. That's a job for us modders. I'd rather have BGS churning out expansions and TES VI.

No. Lets put the development time somewhere else. I wouldn't mind a lengthy easter egg quest to the city of Daggerfall though. It has walls, and is under quarantine for some new ghostly reason you're there to fix, so you can't exit the town.

That was a mod idea I had regardless of whether or not it'd be in the game

Much as it pains me, I agree with Sleign- Bethesda shouldn't touch this idea with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. It all just depends on implementation. Some of my favorite quests in Oblivion were the ones that took you out of reality. For Vaermina's, you go to retrieve an artifact from a guy who became trapped in an eternal coma, and as you proceed through the fort he makes his home, everything begins to look strange. Before you know it, tables are on the ceiling and you end up in a black void with floating rocks. And then there's the dreamworld quest where you literally end up in some guy's nightmare. Or the quest where you go into a guy's painting, and everything is textured in a painted fashion.

I don't think it's very wrong to consider this possibility in small applications. For instance, a cursed book forces you to relive the events written inside when you open it. I think it'd be pretty interesting to play as someone else, as it were. The real question is, which among the very awesome stories in the series deserves to be reenacted?

While I'm not too enthused with the main idea (mostly how unlikely it is to happen. It'd be cool if it did, just not likely), this makes me wonder how successful an improved port of Daggerfall or Arena to the Xbox Live Arcade (and PC/PS3 whatever) would do. If they updated certain features in Daggerfall (mainly controls and bugs, stability, ect) I would pay to get it.

You should be also able to run Commander Keen within Skyrim... Maybe COD 5 and the newest UT... AND YEH WORLD OF WARCRAFT!

That would be awesome!!!!!111!!11

Thats about where I stand too.

This is the most logical thing I've read in this thread so far.

Yo dawg, I heard you like to play Skyrim...

Myst + Skyrim = :flamed:

Having something like that in a mod sounds pretty cool, but I don't see a good reason to put a game inside a game. I have a Daggerfall icon on my desktop, I'll just click that instead.

Huh... I guess... they are saved... huh... let... let me think...
Oh, I know: different folder.


Hell yeah! Imagine hearing the NPC whinning about pvp!

I'm sure somebody will do mod remakes. I don't think this should be officially done.

Thing is, it would be near impossible to do this with a mod. That kind of stuff demands coding and ressources that can't be modded if not already present in the vanilla game.
But anyway, there are a lot more important things to think about. Still find the idea cool though.

What's the point of playing Daggerfall through Skyrim (as a mod or not)? You're just wasting time and computer resources by first having to boot up Skyrim and finding your magic history book, instead of just booting Daggerfall up straight away from desktop (with Dosbox and everything preconfigured).

Great idea, except those are massive games. You could open that book and not come out for months!

Although a JRPG isn't probably the best example, the Nintendo DS game Golden Sun: Dark Dawn did something very similar. You collect books in the game, and when you read them, it plays an animated cutscene (that looks like a children's book illustration) that tells part of the story of the first 2 Game Boy Golden Sun games. Each book (I think there's 4 or 5) tells a different part of the story, and if you find all of them (they're pretty well hidden) you can learn the story in its entirety. It's a pretty good way to help people refresh their memory, or introduce new players.

If it's done correctly, like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas you could play Pinball and other classic games withing stores or even your own house, in GTA: IV you cold watch T.V.

Maybe a little easter egg within the developer area like Testinghall in Oblivion?
