I made it my mission to show the larger Elder Scrolls community why Daggerfall is worth playing despite its age, but what about those who simply cannot get into it even after trying.
There will always be gamers who are used to a certain style of game and struggle to go backwards, it’s why some Morrowboomers can get a bad wrap for how preachy they can be toward fans who have only played Skyrim; and not wanting to sound like them with Daggerfall, I will say that I understand that for some, older games just aren’t for them.
What can these people do then? Well, a modder known as Oracus0 has come up with a solution. Skygerfall is the result, a mod that valiantly attempts to recreate the Main Quest of Daggerfall within the Creation Engine.
This was possible through the hard work of Oracus0 combined with a huge compilation of mods created by the Skyrim modding community, even utilising models from The Witcher series, with permission from CD Projekt Red of course.
Ports of older Elder Scrolls titles into the newer engines aren’t something new, but Skgerfall does have the accolade of being the first publicly downloadable one to successfully recreate an older Elder Scrolls game in Skyrim - although it had made a lot of sacrifices to make it possible.
So the question is, from a Daggerfall fan, is Skygerfall a decent enough replacement for those for cannot play Daggerfall, even with all of its enhancements? That is what we will be finding out in this video.
