Daggerfall Unity launched in 2015. You're probably thinking they meant the original Daggerfall.

History of the project: https://www.dfworkshop.net/dagger...omplished/

Edit: regarding the deal, I don't think they could ever legally charge for it as it's a fan-made remake of Bethesda's work. I expect this is permanently free.

The Steam version is the original game patched to work outside of DOS. The original game needs something like dosbox to "work". This GOG Unity remake is definitely the most complete version of the game and should run flawlessly while patching all the old "un-patchables" inherent to DOS while having an early 2000s graphical upgrade.

I mean, there's definitely something to be said for convenience with something like this. Presumably this will stay up to date with the Unity/mods side of this.

Both Arena and Daggerfall have been freeware for a long time. You can get them directly from Bethesda:
https://cdnstatic.bethsoft.com/el...nstall.zip
https://cdnstatic.bethsoft.com/el...6Setup.zip

Daggerfall Unity is also free. You can get it here:
https://github.com/Interkarma/dag...y/releases

All that GOG is doing is packaging Daggerfall Unity with the base game and it looks like also adding some mods. So, there's really no need to get this from GOG, other than for convenience.

It looks like GOG is only offering a Windows release. GOG stopped caring about Linux a while ago.

For Linux users, someone has made an installer through Lutris, which grabs the game directly from Bethesda and sets up Daggerfall Unity: https://lutris.net/games/the-elde...aggerfall/

The only thing that would be missing is the mods, and it looks like the game description on the GOG page also links to all the mods that are packaged in the GOG release.

Just note this is NOT created by the developers of Daggerfall or any DLC or sequel to that game. It is a mod created by a fan of the game. Apparently a lot of work went into making it and it may be good, but it's not from the developers.

Not a unity version but Arena is also being given away for free.

Quite possibly the most un-replayable game of all time. I'd rather play ET on the Atari.

I was under the impression that the GOG version basically does away with the need to do the configuration yourself to incorporate unity into Daggerfall, as was previously the case. I THINK you can just download and install and it does all that automatically. Basically just install and play, just like any other game.


Also....there are apparently tons of mods for Daggefall Unity on Nexus Mods.

Could Linux users just grab it from Steam and force enable Proton?

AFAIK proton currently has issues with DOS based games.

If only steam had the ability to patch the game itself
This is strange since Steam supports community mods, must be an implementation by these devs.

Anyway this game is totally free, I don't think people realize that. You can download it right from their website for free too.
