if you like morrowind you should love daggerfall. the only thing mw has over df are graphics. mw is supposed to be more detailed because it was all hand made but in reality the games are about the same not taking differences between the games into consideration(eg mw has more clutter but it means nothing to gameplay). df isn't really that unstable either if you have the latest patches and a good system setup for it. on my pc(750mhz athlon, 128mb ram, win98se) mw and df crash about the same amount which isn't that often.

Well after much jiggery pokery(?) i've got the thing going sweet
And so far for me its:
90% Good - im having a great time working it all out, which guilds to join, which ones i dont mind pi**ing off, trying to save some money, makeing sure i sleep and dont just pass out in a dangerous situation, getting my head around the hugeness of the gaming world etc, etc.
5% bad - it did take a fair amount of effort on my part to get hold of the game(ebay), find an old pc(a P166), and get all the right patches + info on getting the game as stable as you can. My third Install is working just fine!
5% Ugly - not so much of the graphics, as some of the menu layouts, like trying to move things between your cart and the inventory you carry, the fact that sometimes text from the books you can read sometimes runs of the edge of the screen, so you miss a few words.
Overall i'd say im glad i made the effort, this is promising to keep me occupied for a hell of a long time
I just dont have the desire to play Morrowind on my xbox anymore
And yes it does crash from time to time(as does Morrowind on my Xbox!), still i save often so its no biggy, some day i may walk in real-game time from one end of the map to the other, and see how long it actually takes

I e-mailed Bethesda about allowing abandonware sites to carry Daggerfall and Arena, yet they (quite adamantly) refused.

That might be their reasoning, but after spending about 60 hrs on Morrowind it became painfully obvious to me that it wasn't as hugely open ended etc as was being talked about(on the game box and at the website). Sure it looks great, but after a while the characters appear as wooden as the ones in Daggerfall.
And having a good look at Daggerfall you can see all the stuff they stripped out for Morrowind, still the thing that killed Daggerfall in many peoples eyes(and still does) is the very buggy nature of the game. Probably why Bethseda want it to just die and go away.
Still IMHO for a fanatic like me, who likes his games with a smattering of realism, attention to detail, and who's also willing to jump through a few hoops, Daggerfall is worth the effort.
