Serious question.

I first played a TES game back in 2006, with Oblivion. I loved it to death and still do so today. Then, trying to play the older games and with Morrowind not helping due to how many bugs it had, I downloaded Daggerfall and went after it.

What I got was a mess riddled with bugs, but that's Daggerfall for you. The part I hadn't bargained for was where I couldn't play for over 10 minutes without throwing up due to severe motion sickness. So, is the version here the same or is it framerate locked or whatever it is games did back in the early 90s so they wouldn't have people throwing up?

Once again, this is a serious question.

Last year I played around for a bit with the downloadable Daggerfall, which should be the same version offered here. It did give me a headache some, like it had in the past. So unfortunately you would probably still feel nauseous about it.

I'm not sure what it is about the game that induces headaches. I think a big part is the usage of sprites to represent NPCs and objects in the world--they way they auto-rotate to face you messed with perception. Also perhaps limited field of view.

It's way more common than you think:

As a kid I wouldn't get it, but when I turned 19-ish it started creeping in. I remember getting the deluxe edition of Prey and never being able to even reach the middle of the game because the weird gravity platforms where you'd run from the floor to the walls to the ceiling did me in. Then other games started doing it, too.

Now, I'm fine with most games, but first-person games are usually the bigger offenders for me when it comes to Motion Sickness. I have to play them with an x360 controller, at least a meter away from the pc, with the FOV set to 100 if possible and if I can leave a small light on in the room it also helps. Older games, however, are the worst of the lot, even when 10 year old me would happily spend a full afternoon playing Doom or Heretic :(
