You and me both. A remake doesn't mean it won't be ABW, it just means there will be a remake. Whether it affects the ABWness of the game, only time will tell.

This game was absolutly mind-bending when I got it! The game world is sooooo big that often I found myself with 20-30 hours on a game and still hadn't accomplished anything to advance the plot. The unique ability to design almost every aspect of your character, from making your own spells and magic amulets to inventing a completly different class inspite of the large selection (12+ different classes to choose from). The game is perhaps the epitome of a what Role-Playing Games strive to accomplish. With the ability to roam to thousands of locations, manipulate hundreds of spells/items/weapons, this game delivers what only pencil and paper role-playing games have done exclusively in the past.

Also nice is that the random quests aren't all that stupid either.
Yesterday I was walking through a big town (not a capitol) and I approach a trader.
He tells me he knows who I am and why there was a sudden storm and why the mudslide trapped me, but first I must go in a dungeon and do stuff for him.
When I return he tells me some witch has a grudge against me.

So even the random quests are often interlaced with the main quest and not just "fetch me X item by X day"
Also the 'guard the mageguild' is a nice quest. Sad really that a game with superior technology like Morrowind has pre-scripted set quests (not random) and usually those quests are of a lower category than those in Daggerfall...

Have you seen the screenshots of The Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion? Holy shomley!

I'm playing Morrowind now, hard to believe it was only a small island in Daggerfall

there is just too much to do...reminds me a of medieval Grand Theft Auto...I can still remember running through towns killing everyone in sight, and then pleading innocent...the only difference is that years of game time actually passes in Daggerfall where as in GTA it only costs $100 to get bailed out of jail.

You couldn't reach Vvardenfell island in Daggerfall.... only in Arena where you could visit a few cities, like:

Old Run (Ald Rhun)
and
Stoneforest (Balmora)

and a few others, too

Yea, definitely been wasting a lot of time with Morrowind as of late. Can't wait for Oblivion either.

Oblivion looks spectacular, I hope they'll release a few new screenshots around newyear.

hm....daggerfall.
unfortunately, i've never played it. after reading your posts about it i'm beginning to
regret this...

i'm a big morrowind-fan. it has been mentioned, that the morrowind-world
was only a small part of the daggerfall-world.
could you please list some other differences between those two games so
that i can get a better impression of daggerfall?

i remember an old friend of mine has it somewhere on his attic. maybe i
can convince him to sell it to me, so that i can experience daggerfall myself....

I'd find it hard to boycott bestheda, since the fourth installment of the Elder Scrolls is looking EXTREMELY cool. Check it out on Gamespot, they have a little section on it. Then again, maybe they will distribute Daggerfall for free when the new one comes out.

TES IV looks very promising. Daggerfall was cool, but the bugs killed it for me.
