[GOG] The Elder Scrolls: Arena and Daggerfall (free till 6/16)

The Elder Scrolls: Arena


The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall



If you do want to play Daggerfall, be sure to check out the Unity mod, or get the bundled version from GOG.

GOG actually offering a bundled version of Daggerfall with the Unity mod premerged. Still free for 24 hours.

You do realize that both Arena and Daggerfall can be had for free whenever and wherever, yes? Arena was made free in 2004, Daggerfall in 2009. You can download them both directly from Bethesda.

I was under the impression that the GOG bundle was a slightly different version of the game when I first skimmed over this:

It says "special GOG Cut of the Daggerfall Unity title". But, could just be word salad. Do we think it's just the same thing as the base game + mod, only repackaged for the GOG storefront?

Daggerfall Unity is a separate thing and it's free, regardless. The Unity version takes some work to get working, from what I understand. The package on GOG just makes it easier to jump in and play it.

and that alone is a reason to download the GOG version

Wasn't aware of what Bethesda offered directly, however Arena and Daggerfall weren't previously free on GOG.

Unity is a free mod that upgrades the graphics. GOG packaged it together with Daggerfall as a single executable/easier to install.

Correct, you had to buy another Bethesda game for them to be added to your library. They were not available separately before.

The Bethesda downloads are on their respective game pages at the top.

You didn't read the GoG newsletter obviously

It's also always been hidden in plain site at the bottom of the page(s) on GoG, I found out about it last year from a newsletter and then just started noticing the link everywhere.
