You don't need to go through fileplanet for this. The official site lets you download both Arena and Daggerfall:

Arena

Daggerfall

Nice. Isn't Daggerfall like...the size of England or something?

Yeah, Daggerfall is huge.

And you'll need DosBox to run them both.

The official website has step by step directions for making it run.

The problem comes once you start playing.

They were both released before they should have been and though they are great, huge, games... they are
very buggy.

Daggerfall is almost unplayable with all of the crash/gamebreaking bugs.

I've looked but I've never really found any good ones.

There have been a couple of different places that have tried(DaggerXL for one) but never finished.

Though admittedly I have not tried for awhile.

The last battle requires you to disintegrate a few walls and have a strong spell reflection spell.


The thing about the Elder Scrolls is that every chapter took some ability the player had in the previous game away


In Daggerfall, you lost the ability to disintegrate walls

In Morrowind, you lost the ability to climb

In Oblivion, you lost the ability to levitate

I have not played Skyrim, so I do not know what Bethesda took away ...

Daggerfall was fracking ridiculous..

-copy paste-

"Bethesda claims that the scale of the game is equal to twice the size of Great Britain:[2] around 487,000 square kilometers. The game world features over 15,000 towns, cities, villages, and dungeons for the player's character to explore. According to Todd Howard, Game Director and Executive Producer for Bethesda Game Studios, the game's sequel, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, is 0.01% the size of Daggerfall, but it should be noted most of Daggerfall's terrain was randomly generated. Vvardenfell, the explorable part of Morrowind in the third game has 10 square miles (25.9 square kilometers).[3][4] The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has approximately 16 square miles (41.4 square kilometers) to explore.[5] In Daggerfall, there are 750,000+ non-player characters (NPCs) for the player to interact with, compared to the count of around 1,000 NPCs found in Morrowind and Oblivion. However, the geography and the characters in these later games are much more detailed."
