I'm playing TES: Arena, anyone played it? tips?

Well?

So far it's pretty fun, similar to Daggerfall, but not nearly as buggy yet.

They use an xp system.

No custom classes.

But it's HUGE. Ijust wish there wer quests that took you to dungeons like in Daggerfall and Morrowind.

Any hints or tricks?

ACK!

Good god, that goes way back. I think I played that in 1994 or so. The only suggestion I can make (since I don't remember a lot) is play a spellcaster. I was unable to progress beyond about level 14 or so without an ablative shield spell. At around that point, everything got a ranged attack (which the game considered a spell) and I'd get slaughtered before I could close to melee.

Play as a Battlemage or a Spellsword. Arena was quite aimed at them.

Also, do the side quests for unique weapons/armor any chance you get if the one you'd get is as good or better than the one you have. IIRC you can only have one at a time, and they go away after a while. The Ebony Katana (Ebony blade?) was my favorite, a vampiric one handed weapon that was WTFamazing...

I got a bit bothered by the interface, but for some reason the game crashed a few seconds after the start and I then reformated...

Only one tip: save often to avoid losing progress after it crashes.
