The ghost of King Lysandus is trapped on earth and it's the player's job to free him, again taking part in quests picked up from towns and cities across the game. The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall are now free on Steam alongside Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory ahead of the Bethesda launcher shutting down. In Arena, the player is tasked with uncovering a conspiracy against King Uriel Septim VII, traversing across all of Tamriel and fighting through procedurally generated wilderness to complete various main and side quests.ĭaggerfall follows a similar model but instead takes place in just two regions of Tamriel: Hammerfell and High Rock. While they're very different experiences from the most recent Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which itself is now more than a decade old, the first two games boil down to similar RPG fundamentals. It automatically downloads Daggerfall Unity for you, and youre ready to go without.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall continues living with Daggerfall Unity. The latter two are a little more expensive at $6 each, but fans probably needn't panic in trying to grab the freebies before the price goes up - Arena has been free since 2004 and Daggerfall since 2009, to celebrate the tenth and 15th anniversaries of The Elder Scrolls respectively. Unfortunately, the Steam release does not include Bethesda’s own final patch for Daggerfall, you’ll need to install this manually for best DOS experience. Daggerfall Unity works with the Steam version now and is free on GOG as well. As reported by Kotaku, five games have been moved to Steam so far including these two, plus Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (which is also available for free) and two Elder Scrolls spin-offs from the late 90s: An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire and The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.
