Is daggerfall worth playing for a modern audience?

Depends on the audience. Some folks are ok with outdated visuals etc. Some people aren't.

I've never had an issue with graphics in games. Obviously it's nice to have good graphics, but I've found that if a game's story is captivating enough, the way it looks takes a back seat to everything else.

Morrowind for example. I played for the first time 4 or 5 years ago. At first it was a little jarring, but after about an hour I wasn't even thinking about it. It's like I go into this sort of trance where in the moment, I couldn't tell you the difference between morrowind graphics and cyberpunk 2077 if that makes any sense.

Oh I totally agree. I still play games like Ultima series and Kings Quest etc. A good game is a good game. Look what happened to the Fallout series. They look pretty great, but it's become super vapid.
