Gavin “Interkarma” Clayton just dropped Version 1.0 of the unofficial remake of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall in Unity Engine, called Daggerfall Unity. This is a dream come true for all old-school TES fans. And yes, we highly recommend playing it.
Daggerfall Unity is a cool remake of the old-school The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. Modder ‘Interkarma’ has re-imagined it in the Unity Engine to give today’s gamers a taste of this classic RPG. It’s a really cool project. Oh, and it’s free to download.
Daggerfall Unity requires a free copy of DOS Daggerfall to run. This will provide all necessary game assets such as textures, 3D models, and sound effects. And as you may have guessed, yes. Steam has the DOS version available for download. You can also download the game from GOG.
The modder claimed that this newest Daggerfall Unity version has all its planned features. Now, Interkarma will shift gears to focus on community support and keeping things running smoothly. Plus, the game’s development will now steer towards future mod support.
Just a heads up, though. This fan remake of Daggerfall will not make it look like Oblivion or Skyrim. While it has a better lighting system and supports higher-res textures, it still sticks with 2D sprites for characters. Some might be bummed about that, but upscaling the original sprites keeps the cool art style intact. So, don’t expect it to look like the newer Elder Scrolls games. Nevertheless, it’s a neat upgrade.
And… well… there is nothing more to add. If you are a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, you really need to get this fan remake.
You can download Daggerfall Unity from this link. I’ve also included below some comparison screenshots. The original DOS version is on the left, and the remake is on the right. These screenshots will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
Have fun!

There isn’t enough money in this world that could convince me play Skyrim and Oblivion let alone this pile of utter vomit.
Oblivion was great. Skyrim was pretty good too. Skyrim SE isn’t quite as good as the original, but at least you can turn the TAA off and use ReShade to inject SMAA or CMAA2 and it looks better.
As bad as Bethesda has become, Oblivion and Skyrim were massive games loaded with tons of things to do, and potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay (if you count every single little side quest), plus the nearly infinite modding potential (Bethesda games are some of the most moddable ever created, except for Fallout 76 because Bethesda had a massive brain fart). Call of Duty and Battlefield have never held a candle to them, unless you enjoy the same multiplayer maps over and over again for hundreds of hours (I did that with CoD 4 and I just couldn’t get into it again after I ended my CoD boycott I started with Modern Warfare 2).
I’ve played all of the ES games thoroughly and my favorite also was Oblivion. I put over a hundred hours into it back in the day and it’s the only ES game that I still go back and replay from time to time. Morrowind was my 2nd favorite but I don’t go back and replay it.
Both are repetitive, boring, and janky.
The core gameplay is objectively bad and there’s no way around it.
ES1,2 = 0/10
ES3 = 1/10
ES4 = 0/10
ES5 = 0.5/10
Fallout 3 = 0/10
Fallout 4 = 1.5/10
Starfield = 1/10
OK, you spilled your poison, now go away.
What are you doing wasting time on an article about a 0/10 game?
“you spilled your poison”
What is this supposed to mean?
It means he came here with negativity, dropped it so everyone could see how intelligent he was for not liking something that has an overwhelming following, proving he’s not some dweeb or person that just follows all the sheep, so now… GTFO of here and run off unless he’s just here to whine and moan.
In less snark, if it’s not your bag, it’s not your bag. You said what you said, carry on.
Yes, I figured out that he meant that dagoat vents his bitterness on others.
I have noticed that on DSOG there are people that just go to articles to bash games, even if the article is unrelated, like here for example where the article is about a remake.
It’s like they produce poison and they need a way to let it out, metaphorically
Oh, ok, you meant they vent their bitterness on others.
I’m sharing my opinion on how dog sh*t it is.
What are YOU doing here? Holding hands with other people who have the same opinion as you so that you feel better?
If it is dog s, why do you bother?
Continue playing your cod, fortnight or whatever crap you use to play and let people interested in ES discuss this remake.
This is no ES review and no one asked your opinion
Actually, nobody asked yours, but you keep bothering me and asking mine.
Shouldn’t you be playing Skyrim or something else that intellectuals like yourself play instead of arguing with me here?
Take my 12 years old cousin and play together while you’re at it.
Have you even played any of those games, or are you just trolling? There’s no way you can rank Starfield higher than Skyrim or Oblivion.
No kidding, Morrowind was amazing.
Starfield is a zero/ten compared to and previous ES or Fallout title.
Morrowind wasn’t bad. Some of the mechanics are janky (same deal with Oblivion) but there are community fixes.
I did, you just don’t agree with me.
First, you assumed I don’t like Bethesda because of their recent games, now you assume I haven’t played their earlier games because I rated them higher.
Saying that Bethesda’s significantly better games are somehow worse than their newer ones that are generally considered terrible has to be a troll, and you know what they say. Don’t feed the trolls.

You think this compares to games like The Legend of Zelda? I’m talking about the OG TLoZ. Thousands of people are still playing it daily and love it. It hits all the marks you mention… but nobody cares anyway. Gaming is about having fun, and people can interpret that in many different ways. I still can’t understand why people bought Starfield lol.
Daggerfall plays completely different to those though.
Abandonware sites (found on Google search “Daggerfall Abandonware”) provide the full game data free of charge (original DOS version with no Windows executable wrapper). The first link that shows up should be the ticket. Merry Christmas.
The remake plus game assets (including the orginal DOS version) is FREE on GOG (packed with Unity) and FREE on Steam (just the DOS original)

You’re kidding… LOL
Yes, of course i am kidding … *sigh*
I wasn’t saying it literally. It’s just a saying, like “I didn’t realize”
Happy New Year dudes!
Please fact check that first screenshot. Look at those dynamic shadows cast by the lamps. Are you telling me the original Daggerfall had these?
Hi Neat post There is a problem along with your website in internet explorer would test this IE still is the market chief and a good section of other folks will pass over your magnificent writing due to this problem
I don’t know if they fixed it, but in the mod community the GoG version is a big no go. So, if you plan to install mods, go for the standalone version of the remake from github.
Nice blog here Also your site loads up very fast What host are you using Can I get your affiliate link to your host I wish my site loaded up as quickly as yours lol
