Is it still worth playing?

Sent by the Emperor, you set out to free the ghost of King Lysandus and learn what happened to a letter sent to the former queen of Daggerfall. This 1996 action role playing game was made for MS-DOS. It takes place in the provinces of High Rock and Hammerfell on the continent of Tamriel. There are over 15,000 cities, towns, villages and dungeons to explore. The player does not have to follow questlines or fill specific character roles. Guilds, orders and religions each have their own quests, and ranks and reputation change how other characters see the player. Joining the Mages Guild unlocks spell creation. A world with this much to do is an invitation to choose your own path, and it still is.
