Yeah, if you like old school, Arena might be your best bet. I wouldn't even consider it a real Elder Scrolls game, it is more of a DnD title. Still, it is apparently considered the hardest title of the series at points (since depending on class you can entirely nerf the game, of course I showcased how to play it on the brutal difficulty and survive through sheer luck).

Arena and Daggerfall are both extremely large and ridiculously sized games. Daggerfall is even larger than Arena, to the point that it is an absolute nightmare if you want to explore anything. If you like exploration, Arena would work much better.

Just remember, both are extremely buggy games. I encountered numerous oddities throughout my trek through Arena. Daggerfall is even worse, the glitches there can tell stories. I actually decided to do a bit more just because of the absolute randomness these glitches have, plus the hilarity when you think that this is considered the best CRPG of all time by many. Arena at least is hated by practically everyone.
