Before Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind there was Daggerfall, the second entry in what has become a household name for fantasy RPGs. The original is available on Steam and GOG, though 23 years later we have a modern remake in the form of Daggerfall Unity which brings in modern graphics, controls, QoL improvements and mod support (as well as Linux and Mac support).

only played the unity-version, it's cool but "old school brutal" in difficulty. I guess there are some cheese tactics/methods you can use to overcome it, but a casual/blind approach has a steep learning curve.

The tutorial alone took some effort to survive, got to some town later on, got some quest to go into a dungeon, which continued to be deadly.

I do like older games, but I can't help but to feel I'm lacking some nostalgiagoggles for this one, even if the game is from "when I was a kid"

This I would expect out of it. I have played Morrowind and probably have the physical notebook they included with the game somewhere.
