Well, it is harder than the other two games. You don't have the class
maker, item maker and potion maker, but I think the spell maker is there.
You have to visit a lot of towns to find the best equipment. But the
dungeons are much better to navigate than in Daggerfall. They consist of
regular floors linked by stairs, and you can map them completely. No trap
doors or flooded areas. The night sky is much more beautiful than in
Daggerfall, similar to Morrowind but with some really intriguing objects
that look like they might not be natural ... perhaps Tamriel was colonized
from space sometime long ago??
