The Elder Scrolls Arena and Daggerfall, along with other legacy Bethesda titles are coming to Steam
NBlood/Rednukem/PCExhumed - Reverse-engineered ports of Build games using EDuke32 engine technology.
- My favorite genre of games is retro FPS, and surprisingly M1 Macs are great for these. For example: “Blood” running on Windows 11 through Parallels 17 on my M1 MacBook Air plays perfectly smooth at over 100 FPS (much more when not running OBS) and is a flawless experience.

NBlood - Based on eDuke32 - Blood, Duke Nukem 3D and Powerslave/Exhumed

First time playing ES - questions
Here’s a good source to read first. It’ll help you set up your first character so you don’t waste much time failing again and again. I also want to jump into Arena but I’ll wait for a wholesome OpenTESArena. The controls are of the previous century making it very tiresome to play. You could also see some playthroughs on YouTube. Imo it’s worth some time to play around a bit in Arena but if you plan to move on to Daggerfall, go straight to DaggerfallUnity. Cheers and have fun. (And say goodbye to friends…)

Suggested mods to play TES Arena with nowadays?
Your options are going to be very limited, especially since OpenTESArena has not even reached Beta state yet. But TES Arena Remapped let's you play with WASD controls (you'll want to rename the mapper file to your version of DOSBox).

Is there an "Arena Unity"?
Nonsense. It's definitely not. The last commit is from June 2022 (https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena) and the Discord Channel active with the dev itself posting quite frequently.

oblivitards are evolving
I reckon that'll happen a few days after OpenTESArena gets mod support.

TES 1 Arena Mod that makes it just like other elder scrolls games
There is no such mod as of yet, but OpenTESArena is being developped and it might provide new options modders.

PSA: Three older Bethesda games now free on Steam
The Elder Scrolls: Arena has an experimental Linux client with no actual gameplay yet. The version on Steam is apparently the floppy version and is lacking some features, however it does run fine through Doxbox.
