I got briefly distracted by Bethesda’s release of Daggerfall for free on their site. Although I already own it, it’s nice to have a zipped up package of it, and in a fit of nostalgia I set up DOSBox for it and reinstalled it. I never actually got very far in the main quest line in it before, so who knows, maybe I’ll stick with it this time. I made my typical longsword/mage character, and so far I’ve just gotten him to the city of Daggerfall and done a couple of quests for the mage’s guild. It’s the quests that lead to dungeons that I’m still wary of…

I also completed a couple more levels of Trine, and these ones were actually easier than the previous ones. I think I would have even gotten the don’t-die-in-a-level achievement in the first one if not for some experimenting near the end… Nothing really all that notable about them, though.

And I finished off the day by trying out the remake of Defender Of The Crown, which I picked up in some sale ages ago. You have to conquer England by building up armies, conquering territories, etc., but it’s just not very interesting. It’s fairly simplistic, with no real tactical depth to the combat — you select a card, press Attack, and hope you win… I don’t think I’m going to bother putting any more time into it.
