• Great 3D RPG classic

  SparcManMay 15, 2011

  Pros

  Enormous game world. Freedom to follow main quest or numerous side-quests as you choose. Gold money has weight and banks can be used to "lighten your load" Tons of equipment, npc's, factions, books, dungeons, ect.

  Cons

  Lots and lots of unfixed bugs. Many can be fixed with workarounds and unofficial patches, but this often involves using cheats and extra install work.

  Summary

  Some other notables that could be pro or con depending on your point of view: In-game nudity; yes it's quite pixelated due to the age of the game, but it's even on the character equip screen. Slow leveling; you may or may not like to take a long time to level a character, but depending on the character's primary skills, it can take weeks or months of in-game time to reach the next level. All in all, a great game that, to me, is the first game in The Elder Scrolls series. Due to bugs. may not appeal to someone that didn't play the game when it was new, but it's a fun game to play.

  Pros

  It was easy to dowlnload.

  Cons

  Was hard to get activated. Took me a while to get my computer to actually run the game. But once i did it was ok.

  Summary

  Well worth the time and effort if you are a big fan of the Elder scrolls series and RPG games.

• Big. Immersive. Impressive. No eye candy just gameplay.

  jeremy.jedi95February 12, 2011

  Pros

  One of the biggest and best RPGs I've ever played. the game world is immense and you'd get lost playing. combat is fun and so is dungeon crawling. freedom is everywhere, and the game is just so classic and classy.

  Cons

  either need an old PC (e.g. win9k or dos) to play or else you'll need a relatively powerful PC to make it run on DosBOX. Good thing I have that big old HP Pavillion win98.

• Best in the series in my opinion.

  TheRetroZombieJanuary 22, 2011

  Pros

  A great advancement for the series since Arena. Better controls & graphics and it doesn't try to leave you off track like Arena. Many places to explore in a 60,000 square mile world.

  Cons

  Requires DOSbx (DOS emulator). Environment can be repetitive. Problems trying to install on DOSbox.

  Summary

  People who are complaing: This game requires a DOS emulator or it won't run. It can be difficult to use but you'll have to go search around for help instead of whining about it. Though I won't lie it is kinda complicating to install this game by typing in DOS codes.

  RathionNovember 24, 2010

  Pros

  This game was great for it's time. It combine character development and freedom to explore. The ability to join a guild new element to the RPG world.

  Cons

  Obviously it's grapics are outdated. The dungeons can be complex and there are a lot of them!

  Summary

  Yeah, it's really old but it's a classic.

• Using XP - Won't load

  yeouijuSeptember 13, 2009

  Pros

  Was, what I believe, one of the greatest games of all time! Now if it would only load!

  Cons

  Won't load in windows xp. Tried installer but wont go through. Only thing that loads correctly is the sound setup utility.

  Summary

  Needs to have some sort of XP patch or update to allow installer to work correctly. Otherwise, don't bother downloading this file.
