Evaluation

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall is a classic RPG originally released by Bethesda Softworks in August 1996. This Steam listing represents a re-release of the game on April 26, 2022, making the original title available through Steam. The only developer communication on record is a small maintenance patch from June 7, 2022, which added the game manual, a reference card, smoothed graphics scaling, and updated the game to its official patch 1.07.213 — essentially bringing the Steam version up to the final patched state of the original game. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no announced future content, and no post-launch content cadence. Daggerfall launched as a complete, finished product decades ago and was re-released on Steam as-is. The game's content has been complete since its original release.

Evidence

Small maintenance patch added the game manual and reference card, smoothed graphics scaling, and updated the game to official patch 1.07.213 with various bug fixes and better mod support. No new content.

About this game

The ancient golem Numidium, a powerful weapon once used by the great Tiber Septim to unify Tamriel, has been found in Iliac Bay. In the power struggle that follows, the King of Daggerfall is murdered and his spirit haunts the kingdom. The Emperor Uriel Septim VII sends his champion to the province of High Rock to put the king’s spirit to rest and ensure that the golem does not fall into the wrong hands.
