The game doesn’t even need a game launcher (like Epic Games Launcher), so it’s nice and comfortable to start from that perspective, and since it’s not a modern title, it can run on almost anything.

If you look at GOG, you can often find promotions and free games (CD Projekt has been offering them every two weeks lately, and Cyberpunk 2077’s publisher might do it even more often), and now you can get a classic RPG for free, not only because of its age, but also because it is part of a franchise that is still expanding, even if the latest installment will have to wait another three or four years.

That game is The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. For a mid-nineties game (and an open-world one at that), it’s surprisingly easy to get into, as the GOG acronym (Good Old Games) is no coincidence. It’s so far ahead of the rest of the franchise (The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) that it’s the largest open-world title in the series, thanks to its 16,600-square-kilometer map (that’s about three-quarters of the size of the United Kingdom), which it creates procedurally so that everyone can have different things in the world. You can easily spend 200 hours on the game (if you want to be a perfectionist).

This isn’t the first time GOG has offered a Bethesda-published game for free, as the first two Fallouts were available this way, and those two games are still pretty good today, before the franchise went 3D. True, Daggerfall isn’t Skyrim, but it’s not bad to get it for free (you just need a GOG account, but that’s all you need, right?), and on the other hand, we still don’t have to ask when we’ll see more of The Elder Scrolls VI.
