I always did thief + stealth magic. > The sound I always hear over and over again in movies is a 'scream' that I first remember hearing in fantasy general. Maybe its a public domain scream or something, but everyone and their best friend uses it, especially in movies. Very immersion breaking. What I remember about daggerfall is being pretty much unable to run it on my poor excuse for a pc at the time. Was sad. =< W/a lot of tweaking, I was eventually able to run it passingly well, saw a bit of the game, but too many crashes at too many key points made me shelve it. my tweaks were not enough. Never finished it. When arena came out, I was *barely* able to run that come to think of it, though at least I was able to play arena well enough to make the game play-worthy. Morrowind ran fine for the most part, but had a lot of trouble in places like vivec. Wasn't until oblivion/fallout 3 that I've had a pc that could run their games well concurrent w/the release of said games. Hoping they'll take some of the lessons they learned in fallout 3 and apply them to the next TES title (better crafted quests, better humour, more gore, could do w/out the low lvl cap and the windows live stuff though).
