Three Free Bethesda Games [Apr 26, 2022, 5:34 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Steam is now offering three older Bethesda titles for free:
The Elder Scrolls: Arena,
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, and
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. This seems to be a precursor to the
planned migration of Bethesda
accounts to Steam getting underway
tomorrow. There's no
indication that this is a temporary promotion, as all three games are listed as
free-to-play. Here's a summary of each:
The imperial battlemage Jagar Tharn betrays the Emperor Uriel Septim by imprisoning him in an alternate dimension, then assuming the Emperor’s identity and place on the throne. A lone prisoner must travel to Tamriel’s most famous and dangerous sites to collect the shattered Staff of Chaos, save the Emperor and free the Empire.
The ancient golem Numidium, a powerful weapon once used by the great Tiber Septim to unify Tamriel, has been found in Iliac Bay. In the power struggle that follows, the King of Daggerfall is murdered and his spirit haunts the kingdom. The Emperor Uriel Septim VII sends his champion to the province of High Rock to put the king’s spirit to rest and ensure that the golem does not fall into the wrong hands.
Wolfenstein®: Enemy Territory is a free-to-play, objective-based multiplayer World War 2 first-person shooter. Featuring up to 32 players, choose either the Axis or Allies, as you fight across six maps based on real-world battle locations. Play as one of five unique classes (Engineer, Medic, Soldier, Field Ops, and Covert Ops) as you work with your team to complete key objectives necessary for victory.

Yeah, I expected online games to change completely after that. And then they didn't, really.
Well, co-op eventually arrived in games. That sort of does it.
Wolf:ET and the Assault modes for UT2004 were so good that they ruined free for all / team deathmatch for me.
Splash Damage has continued to carry the flag for asymmetric multiplayer since then - I never really got into ET:QW but both Brink and Dirty Bomb were fun. Quite a few of my old ET clanmates got into Dirty Bomb, but I only dabbled and have no idea if it's still popular now.
Co-op being more prevalent probably works better for me - I don't have the reaction speed or time for hours of practice that I used to - but I fondly remember playing Wolf:ET during its heyday.
