Since most of Elder Scrolls nostalgia today is around Morrowind, it's always interesting (and a bit funny) to find people (involved or not) who think the series started to derail with Morrowind.
I am not mocking them at all, I get it, Daggerfall and Morrowind are very different games with a different scale and focus. Daggerfall is also... quite overwhelming, and rather impersonal for 99% of its gameplay. I really don't know what a "modern" Daggerfall would look like.
I can tell you. It would be HUGE absolutely generic open world with AI generated characters and quests, virtually zero human made and interesting quests and gameplay would feel like filling excel spreadsheets. Somewhat like Ubisoft recepe :-D
At least that's what original Daggerfall 's spirit would be. It was at the time where "the biggest" was simply the catchphrase and Daggerfall was exactly that. The biggest. But also very shallow and empty. Sure there were billions of quests but what for? When for one interesting there were dozens of generic ones? Don't get me wrong, it was still a great game at the time, because players weren't as spoiled and something was always better than nothing. At least that's my impression.
I don't think I want AI, or quests generated characters. I already played other RPGs. Build something new please
