The tiny map, pic, spell and skill list on the inventory screen can be enlarged by dragging the frames: helps a ton, may even be related to why you aren't seeing your picture.
The skill list has a line that tells your level. Clicking on that will tell you how many points you've earned towards your next level.
Some similarity to Wiz 8, but its all style, not substance. Oh, and the fact that both are successors to legendary games, so there's a lot of backstory and history. Another similarity: magic classes are tougher to develope and play than fighters.
Tips?
>If ya wanna be a mage, you'd better pick atronach as your birth sign.
>Steal everything from the building you first enter [except for the room with the 2 guys in it] and sell it to the only merchant in town. Buy a scroll of Ondusi's unhinging, use it to break into the locked Imperial legion building by the water front [save first: can be tough to do without being caught]. Steal, sell most of it: early on, a good bankroll and some decent equipment is key.
>Join everything [with the possible exception of the Morag Tong]. All of 'em offer fun missions, training, etc., as soon as you can. You can work on several missions for different groups simultaneously. You usually don't have to complete any mission you really dislike, but that particular person won't give you another until you do. You can, however, go to his counterpart in another town and do missions for them. Its a good idea to save before asking for a mission from anyone, just in case. Some missions given by npcs will NOT be offered a second time.
>Unless you are REALLY married to the idea of a pure mage, get a bow and some arrows asap, practice shooting at mudcrabs: good ranged weapon skills makes the game much more fun.
