On the official Elder Scrolls website, you can download ES2: Daggerfalls for free. I downloaded it last night and will give it a show tonight when I get home. I used to love some of the older exploring games on my Atari ST, such as Kings Quest and Hero's Quest (Quest for Glory). I must admit I'm fairly excited to give this game a try. If I like it, I think I'll purchase ES3 from Amazon (game of the year edition with all expansions) and see how that goes from there.
It is disappointing that large gaming corporations are either choosing consoles over PCs, or going with a dumbed down version on both media. Did you know D3 was pushed back to first quarter 2012? I also heard rumors that this was to give the developers the time they needed to get their PC and console versions working together on the b.net 2.0 structure. In the end, it's all about the $$$. We'll see what occurs, but I often felt this is why Blizzard chose to go with potions floating in the air, ala Gauntlet, and a simple run/socket mechanism, to support console gamers. Just another reason I'll be getting Torchlight 2 and Path of Exile before, and if I even get D3. Skyrim will have to wait till I've played the prior games
