This game doesn't actually have much to do except crawl through randomly generated dungeons, but somehow the atmosphere is so potent that a part of me is still obsessed with it after 20 years. Something about gazing at the far-off hills as the sun goes down outside the tavern, or coming out of a dungeon and hearing the music turn from ominous to heroic. The rain falling outside the town gate as NPCs walk past you without giving you a second glance. Knowing that the map is mostly just empty wilderness and cookie cutter towns, yet feeling oddly pulled to go to visit distant lands.
Great soundtrack, too.

Need more games like Daggerfall

ITT, games you wanted to like, but just can't get behind.

I love the visual style, and the huge sprawling towns and everything, it's a game I really feel like I could get lost in... if only it were actually fun to play.
