i started with daggerfall...lots of stories...of course i did morrowind..and oblivion..but when i look back there are little things that people now don't see...as trivial or small as they are....they exist in our minds....help me remember those moments

This thread does not belong here.

Edit: Nevermind.

you are right...thanks

You're doing yourself an injustice if you don't play Arena.

Yup, Daggerfall's my first true love. We go way back.

Meh, not really. I mean, Arena's OK, but DF is better is almost every way.

the op could try arena as its free. i actually love many aspects that are considered limitations, like no item or class creation, seem to force you to plan better before doing some quests or fights.

two very different games i think.

I started with Arena as a weenie little girl, but Daggerfall will always have my heart. By the time Skyrim comes out, Elder scrolls will have shaped over 15 years of my life. No wonder people think I'm two sandwiches short of a picnic.

I started with Daggerfall in December of 1996, so Skyrim will mark my 15th anniverary with the series as well. It's mind boggling that the series has been part of my life for that long. Chalk it up to nostalgia-bordering-on-insanity, but when I'm at my parents' house I often dig out the old Daggerfall box and page through the still-excellent manual. As a 9th grader I trekked across a baffling amount of randomly generated desert terrain in search of those Alik'r dragons. So far, no sightings.

daggerfall is ALL about the dungeons imo..

some of them are ridiculously big ie cant even find your way back out.

castle wayrest is one such example.. I spend god knows how long looking for the painting.. am sure ive scoured each corner of the place top to bottom.. and when I finally use cheats to locate the quest item.. im in a completely different part of the castle.

Well you've taken the words out of my mouth.

I started in 1996 when we got the Betony demo on a PC Gamer CD. I played it alot...always creating new characters each time I'd hit the time limit. (Too bad Betony as the island's capital is not in the final game)
I then asked for the full game for Christmas and got it that December.

I, too, read the game's manual from time to time. I never tire of reading it. Same with Arena's. And I bought the Daggerfall's Chronicles 2-3 years ago and it's a great read. Lots of technical details and hidden game mechanics never mentioned in the manual.

I also tried to find Alik'r Dragons with a Khajiit Assassin I had made. All I found were Dragonlings... but I was convinced there were dragons around.

Now I have all TES titles except for the cell phone ones. I bought Arena on Ebay for 1$ in 2003. The manual and game box are in French but the game isn't. Those who were seeking the game instead bid on the english versions of the game for pretty big amounts. :chaos:

Anyone has the 'Codex Scientia', which gave lotsa hints on Arena?

I actually had it, but it got lost during one of my many move-outs... Still remember them recommending the best fighters to be, iirc, assassin, monk and ranger.

I had never played Arena. I was looking at other forums here and found a link to get it free at UESP, (Unofficial Elder Scrolls Page) I think thats what it meant. Anyways I was able to download Arena, and use it on my computer. It looked like they had some cheats and manuals and stuff like that. I would check it out, there is alot of info there. I haven't had any problems since I downloaded Arena. It plays fine and all my other games still work fine.

I bought Daggerfall when it very first came out. Boy, did that game open my eyes up! I place it up there with my favorite rpg of all time, Ultima 6.
