## What it is
Daggerfall Unity is an open-source recreation of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall built in the Unity engine, requiring the original DOS game assets to run. It adds modern engine features, quality-of-life improvements, and extensive mod support while preserving the classic experience.

## Use cases
- play daggerfall on modern windows linux or mac without dosbox emulation
- play daggerfall in widescreen high resolution with modern lighting
- mod daggerfall with graphical overhauls and new quests
- play daggerfall in retro 320x200 vga mode
- translate daggerfall into other languages via community mods

## When to choose
- you want to play the original Daggerfall with bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements
- you want cross-platform Daggerfall without emulation
- you want an actively modded classic RPG with a large creator community

## When to avoid
- you don't own or can't obtain a copy of DOS Daggerfall for its game assets
