for those wanting to try vanilla Daggerfall there is a performance increase you can apply to this version of the game

Under where steam is installed on your computer, navigate to:
"\SteamApps\common\The Elder Scrolls Daggerfall\DF\DAGGER\z.cfg" open this file

and add these lines to the bottom:
texturememory 20000
objmemsize 20000

and save "z.cfg"

now when you open daggerfall, this little code improves performance by increasing the cache for both textures and objects to 20 MB. this provides less lag when loading inside of large dungeons, and makes the game rely less on loading from "dungeon blocks"

id also head over to https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Files#Game_Utilities and download the EyeOfArgonia, this allows for further view distance. just put it where you found z.cfg and run it. do not touch the detail distance slider in game or it will undo the patch.

hope you all enjoy The Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall, its been a favorite of mine since 2013, you can also play a prepatched version called daggerfall setup, its on the page for the link for EOA above

If dosbox is crashing, add more RAM and set dosbox to use 63 MB. It should already be set like this by default. But if you're experiencing crashes, either lower the object and texture memory or add more RAM to the dosbox config. But I checked and it should be right, but if you're not using the steam version, definitely change the ram to 63 MB
