I finally loaded up Daggerfall today, but i find i can't attack or look down. I changed the controls around to see if it was the mouse but still nothing. Is this common?

To attack, hold the right mouse button and move it around

to look up and down....well i tend to rig the camera to the mouse rather then use the keyboard to move the camera....look for it in the settings.

I'll give that a try

thank you
