Not exactly what I'm looking for but interesting nonetheless! I looked it up, found lots of games going by the title Eventide but didn't see that one. 14 years ago, that's a while...sounds like they gave up on it maybe ?
Haha no doubt we gave up on it. I can't believe it's been 14 years. And it's been nearly 13 since the original release of Skyrim. I just re-read your post and saw you are looking for something more similar to Daggerfall. Well, not sure about clones, but The Quest by Redshift is pretty good. Not really modern since they made it for PDA. It's on Steam though. The gameplay differs a little bit as well. The combat system in Daggerfall was pretty advanced for its time. Honestly, it would be difficult to recreate within the same graphical scope even today. Elder Scrolls: Blades did a pretty good job I thought, but that was in a full 3D experience.
