TES2: Daggerfall

Bethesda are giving away this classic game to celebrate 15 years of The Elder Scrolls

https://bethblog.com/index.php/2009/07/09/daggerfall-now-available-for-free/
Five years ago, to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of The Elder Scrolls, we released The Elder Scrolls: Arena as a free download. If you do the math, that means the series is now celebrating its 15th Anniversary. So despite saying we’d never do it, we’ve decided to release The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall as a FREE download too!

One thing to keep in mind — the game is over 10-years-old and we’re releasing it “as is.” In other words, we’re not providing customer support or technical support on the game at this point. That being said, I successfully started up the game running DOSBox and following QA superstar Mike Mazzuca’s detailed walkthrough for installing the game. Follow the directions and you should be in good shape.

Having heard many stories of how you guys wanted to get your hands on the game, we’re excited that many of you will get to experience Daggerfall for the first time. Head here to download the game. Enjoy!

Woot!
In a similar vein, they're supposed to be releasing Mechwarrior 4 for free, too.
No idea when/where/how, though!


So, is TES2 any good?

Maybe. It is a massive game, but does have a few bugs. I started with Morrowind, so I've never played it. Why don't you have a go?

Will they give away Morrowind in five years time? Now that is an amazing game, and people still play and mod it!

I used to play Arena heavily as a child, I might even get back into it. I've heard Daggerfell is essentially the same game, so I might play that too.

I was gonna write "they won't be releasing Morrowind in 5 years, it's too new", but things can change so quickly and so much in that time so it could happen. Personally I love the idea of a franchise making it's games free after a set amount of time.
