I've watched this video like 100 times lol. Wayward Realms, the return of Lefay, will come soon. Well, not soon, but it will come.

EldenMoon 11 Nov, 2023 @ 7:16pm

we all need to do a petition for the next game to be as innovative as Daggerfall.. I really wish they never left a lot of the things they did in this game behind..

ImTheAlmostOtaku 12 Sep, 2022 @ 3:34pm

this video made me look into this game and now im playing it. That is the power of youtube

Zemian 8 May, 2022 @ 12:14am

Superb analysis. 8/8

Amanthius 28 Apr, 2022 @ 3:24am

ngl, your video made me itch to play daggerfall so imagine my delight when i saw it on steam

kneeckle 27 Apr, 2022 @ 5:41pm

Just finished it, great video!

borkiee 27 Apr, 2022 @ 6:15am

Loved your videos on the game, and many other people's over the years. Played the hell out of it on the original DOS version before Unity was fully playable. Nice to see it here :)

I watched this Yesterday, then logged in to Steam to see Daggerfall staring at me on the new releases list. I was quite happy to take that as an excuse to revisit the game.
