I agree, never have I seen a game that had such a wide variety of "dressing up" in it.

Hell I think I spent more time coordinating my outfits than I did playing the game.

Daggerfall was awesome... although a few problems with it...

A) Run backwards while swinging to defeat an infinite numbre of guards
B) Make a char with magic absorption and cast an AoE at your feet infinately to kill an infinte number of gards
C) Loiter in a shop till nightfall, rip it off for everything it has and sell it back to the guy in the morning
D) Levitating houses onto other houses... there is something WRONG about stacking a town vertically

My favorite part of Daggerfall was going out and getting turned into a wereboar(I wish they let you actually become werewolves that roam around the game, which the werewolves still infect you with wereboar lycanthropy even though its a canine and not a DARN PIG!), or a vampire. Blah, I vant to vuck you bvood!

You seem to miss a crucial point... they weren't random. It chose one of 4 layouts, and whatever item/monster you needed to find/kill was at one of 5 points within the dungeon.

It got to the point where I would just run a certain path through each dungeon, checking each spot till I found the correct one

Well... least the waterlevel was random, but not in a good way...

"Oh gee, looks like 1/3 of the dungeon is submerged, if you can't breathe water you are screwed"

Maybe that and all spellcasting NPCs had a set amount of mana tey expended in the first quarter second upon seeing, and if you survive then you pound them into the ground...

Morrowwind is the sequel to Daggerfall. Daggerfall was part two of The Elder Scrolls, Battlespire was part one of the Elder Scrolls Adventure, and Redguard was part one of Elder Scrolls Legends. Fortunately Redguard and Battlespire sucked so badly they discontinued work on any of those sequels. More time to work on ES3

Top 10 Reasons I love DF:

10. The first game of it's kind to feature full nudity (male and female), in the inventory screen and in-game, and get away with it.
9. The game never ends. You can complete the main storyline, but you'll still be able to play the game afterwards.
8. Being able to ignore the main storyline altogether
7. The Real Barenziah, Part III by Anonymous
6. The only game where you can literally spend hours in the clothing store just trying to find that right combination of clothing. ^_^
5. Addons and various other stuff at The Essential Site
4. Making fun of all the bugs:

Hmm, had heard of Daggerfall, but never got around to buying it due to lack of funds . Mebbe now I'll go pick it up, is it still in stores or will I only find it over the net?

If it is found, it's usually in the bargain/crap bin of your local gamestore. Otherwise, have someone burn it and send it to you :P

Well... I wouldn't call this game non-linear in a GOOD way... it is fully possible to play this game for years and still not know what the hell the plot is about

Well, yeah, if in all those years you never once watch the intro movie, examine your own character's history or read the opening dialogue...

I enjoyed playing Daggerfall, except for the bugs , always hated getting stuck in the walls of buildings and having to restart the game. I'd probably play it right now but I lost the CD.
