About DFWorkshop

Daggerfall Workshop presents Daggerfall Unity, a recreation of Daggerfall in the Unity engine. Version 1.0 has been released, and the project has moved into post-release community support and maintenance. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS without emulation, and combines the original game with hundreds of fixes and quality-of-life enhancements, modern engine lighting, high-resolution widescreen, optional retro modes and mod support. Optional mods can overhaul graphics and gameplay, and community mods provide translation support.

Daggerfall Unity requires a free copy of DOS Daggerfall, which supplies the game assets such as textures, 3D models and sound effects; a free copy of DOS Daggerfall is available from Steam. Installation involves unzipping the latest Daggerfall Unity release into its own folder and pointing it at the DOS version. The site notes that optional mods may substantially increase system requirements or make the game less stable.
