Hey guys! I finished Arena yesterday and am very proud of myself. I started on OB, and then got Skyrim and Morrowind. I bought the Anthology and promised myself I would finally play through Arena and Daggerfall. I had started them on many occasions, but never got very far.

And I must say, Arena was a fantastic game. Dated, yes, but I loved every minute of it. Daggerfall, however, seems way more daunting.

I'm definately a custom class fan. With MW, OB, and Skyrim I created one. Daggerfall is a little more complex however.

My questions are as follows.

1- When assigning skills, do i really need to worry about any of the speech skills, such as Etiquette or Streetsmart?

2- I am looking at a sort of Battlemage build, so Destruction and Short/Long Blade are a given, but I really don't know what to assign after those. There are a lot of choices, but I really don't know how important some are. Like Dodging and Backstabbing.

3- Would you recommend adding advantages/disadvanteges?

Thanks for any advice!
