===The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall===
The player, a personal friend of the Emperor, is sent to the city of Daggerfall, High Rock to investigate a haunting by the ghost of the former king. Things quickly get out of hand when you discover the Numidium, a massive golem used by Tiber Septim to gain control over Tamriel. There are several mutually exclusive endings possible; canon opted to [[what|make them all happen]] in an event called the Warp in the West, a Dragon Break, which is a specific type of event where divine fuckery causes [[FATAL|time and space to take it up the ass hard]]. Holds the record for the largest virtual world ever created, being about two times the size of the UK, although due to technical limitations, most of it was copy-and-paste.

Daggerfall nowadays is an interesting beast even when compared with modern Open-World-RPGs, not least because of its massive scope and the procedurally populated world. On one hand, you see every house and every NPC replicated tenthousandfold, which makes it a bit repetetive at times, on the other hand, the procedural nature of the game make it the ideal blank canvas for roleplayers who wish for nothing more than to be thrust into a world with nothing but their own imagination. Add to that that Daggerfall hides many, many inticate systems under its hood that far were ahead of its time and despite the copy-and-paste nature, still feels like a living, breathing world that is fully believable and very immersive. Simply put; it's less of an RPG and more of a fully-fledged fantasy life-simulator where you can do everything you goddamn choose to do, from dungeon crawling to exploring and even buying a fucking Galleon for yourself. The downside is that many of these intricate systems are ''very'' unintuitive by modern standards, to say the least, a relic of a period in game design where genres were not yet clarly defined and experimentation was rampant. It is fairly unique and this anon highly recommends you giving it a shot - just be sure to look up some tutorials. 

As an added benefit, Bethesda officially released Daggerfall for free, both on its own website and on Steam. That's right, you can just up and go, download the 80 Megabytes of files and become a part of this unique experiment. But wait, there is more! A group of ardent hardcore fans of Daggerfall banded together and converted the entire game into the Unity engine, which makes it even possible to run on modern systems in the first place while also improving the notoriously fickle stability of the original game and adding full mod support on top of that.
