OpenTESArena VS daggerfall-unity

Arena: Waiting on a playable release of OpenTESArena.

Here's the Arena remake project, which is not using Unity but is instead a complete reimplementation using C++: https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena

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…)

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).

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.

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

There is no such mod as of yet, but OpenTESArena is being developped and it might provide new options modders.

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.

There is one, written in c++ https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena

You can get it from Daggerfall Unity's official website, dfworkshop.net. There should be a link to the download page at the top.

If you're trying to install DFU, go to their latest release, download the mac version, and do not use the GOG cut, it is apparently incredibly bugged, messes with a lot of mods, and using either the bethesda website's download or the steam version for the original game files (both are free) skirts around some bug that comes with the GOG cut. I don't know what the GOG cut even is, but I've seen almost every mod on the Nexus say it's bugged and to not use it, so idk. If you don't care about mods, you will. Daggerfall is a Bethesda game, so you're bound to mod it to hell and back.

Yes! Here's their website
