Heh, what a coincidence for this thread to get back to life. I've just gotten Daggerfall to work perfectly. I even got the offer of following a tutorial. I accepted, but it was a bit wonky. I was already bashing in a thief while the tutorial uberexcited told me to ready a weapon and take on that rat behind the secret door! I was all like: ,,Rat? You mean the one I whacked like....four rooms ago?"(Well, I had to sacrifice sounds and movies, but I think I can rectify that with a simple copy and paste job)
For stealth characters, I don't have much advice. But this is Oblivion, right? If so, poison would probably be your friend. But then again, that takes preparation time. If you're not willing to do that, you're in bad luck. Enchantments could help, but I don't consider a glowing dagger stealthy.
Anyway, since Daggerfall works now including quests and factions, I've made myself a new character to celebrate. I'm roleplaying this one. Basically, I wanted a character that could integrate in multiple societies easily and rip off people with a smooth tongue. So I went with Khajiit, which are surprisingly human here. If it wasn't for the tail, you couldn't tell. Add a robe, and you absolutely can't tell. I also picked female, cause I'm a guy and females work better at the charming thing IMHO.
Personality-wise, she is addicted to power. All kinds of spells are her thing. (Mage guild, watch out!) I'm also aiming for vampire here. From what I've read, Daggerfallian vampires are somewhat worse than Cyrodiilic in the sun department but much better than Morrowind's. Oh and get this, I've read that they've got an
imunity to iron and steel weapons. Guess what the guards use?
One last oddity, I don't use weapons. If you're going to fight, keep it personal. Besides, she may be the most humanoid Khajiit I've ever seen, I bet she still has some sharp little claws. (Although, I stick to kicks so it doesn't really matter.)
Oh, and some pics I suppose.

Please, don't ask. I was surprised at the lack of proper coverage myself.

Most characters end up having a good shirt, rather than this breezy affair. At least I found some boots already.
And one easy dungeon later. (Ok, not so easy. I had to zap all the humanoids and run away from the skeleton.)

One robe and a full helmet. Don't ask me why I'm using a shield though. It just boosts the armour rating. Although, it would be cool if I could bash with it. (those little fists just don't have the same kind of impact as a huge sheet of steel.)
