Expect to die a lot in the starting dungeon on your first playthrough.
All in all, if you're the type of person who made the transition from Oblivion to Morrowind, prepare for an even bigger transition of change from Morrowind to Daggerfall. I'd suggest reading the in-game tutorial the game offers to you during the starter dungeon, and if that's not enough, come back here and ask someone (not myself) for advice.
Oh, and unless you feel like going through an entire tutorial on simply setting the fourteen-year-old game to work on a modern computer, just download it here, all set up and ready to play. http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?title=Daggerfall_:_DaggerfallSetup_EN
