Daggerfall - Now free, Too Hot To Handle Options

[Rane]

So all of a sudden Bethesda decides to release Daggerfall for free., just like they did with Arena five years ago. Grab it and see what the fuzz is all about. I know I will (soon as their server isn't overloaded by the plethora of users downloading it right now). It runs in DOSBox and there's a walkthrough for how to set it up for whoever needs it. (or if you can wait a bit longer there's of course DaggerXL in the works)

Edit: Here's a FileShack mirror for the download.

I personally use Dosbox and followed Bethesda's guide to set it up for the most part. I say for the most part, because I still had to get around the cd-check and then set it up so that dosbox starts up daggerfall automatically. (I'm too lazy to type in two commands that take less than five seconds to enter.)

It's not the perfect game, but I'm having a lot of fun. Not to mention that it runs really smooth on my Oblivion-capable laptop. Although, my character is a rather crazy build. +30 hp each level?! Downsides, luck and personality are about as low as they can go so nobody wants to talk to me.

So far, the only bug I've encountered is a constant looping of the horse/cart sounds, even when I get back on foot. It's no big deal, and going indoors or fast-travelling get's rid of it.
