What you need: The data of the DOS version of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, which Bethesda gives away for free (on Steam, or the [free download on this site](/microsoft/ms-dos/games/the-elder-scrolls-ii-daggerfall/)). A DirectX 11 graphics card with 1 GB of memory and 2 GB of RAM.

Daggerfall Unity is an open-source recreation of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, Bethesda's huge 1996 role-playing game, built in the Unity engine by Daggerfall Workshop. It loads the textures, models, sounds and quests of the original DOS game and runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux without emulation.

The whole game is playable with hundreds of fixes for the original's bugs, smooth mouse look, high widescreen resolutions, better lighting and much longer draw distances, while keeping Daggerfall's pixel-art look. A retro mode renders at 320x200 or 640x400 with the original palettes for those who want it exactly as it was.

It also has extensive mod support, with a large community making graphics overhauls, new quests and guilds, translations and gameplay changes.

## How to set it up

1. Get the free DOS version of Daggerfall and install or unzip it, so you have its `DAGGER` folder (with `ARENA2` inside).
2. Download Daggerfall Unity for your system and unzip it into a folder of its own.
3. Run `DaggerfallUnity` and, on first start, point it at your `DAGGER` folder. It checks the files and starts the game.
