Problem was I liked daggerfall and morrowind. I fell for the scam with Oblivion false advertisements and bought it assuming it was what it was suppose to be. It turned out not the case.
I enjoyed it. I didn't do the expansions though.

By the way, none of the Elder Scrolls series will 'ever' touch Daggerfall. Daggerfall you could just do too much and do anything. If you liked a house, you could buy it. If you saw a ship you wanted, you could buy it. Besides, all the random dungeons. Yes, the dungeons were hand drawn in Morrowind and Oblivion, but there is something to be said for random designed dungeons as found in Daggerfall. Daggerfall also had the second largest landscape in any game I know of - Morrowind and Oblivion would fit into a tiny corner of it. Daggerfall had changing seasons too - like snow on the ground when it was snowing, etc. Daggerfall also had the leg up on creating custom items, or custom spells, or custom characters. Matter of fact, the shear number of items and things in the game make the games that came later look small. The point being - are we trading shiny graphics for pure gameplay? That is the question.

For land mass, Daggerfall was even a fraction of Arena The Elder Scrolls by the way - about half I think.

Still, except for the improving graphics department, Daggerfall will be the best in the Elder Scrolls series for ever more as far as I can see.
