You also almost NEED a home-made levitate spell and 3X int magicka:-p
If you can pay for shipping from Sweden you can have my boxed copy of Daggerfall for free. The box is a bit beaten up, and lacks some things (the map of the first dungeon and a Bethesda catalog?) but the game and the (erroneous) manual is there. A few comments though:
The game is hard to make playable on a modern PC. You will likely need some slowdown utility or dosbox. Frame rate problems can make it impossible to pick things up from the ground and thus make lots of quests (including the main quest) impossible to finish. Graphics are very pixellated, so I suggest looking at screenshots before trying it, or maybe downloading the demo that should be around somewhere. Gameplay is also slightly different from later TES. The gameworld is huge (England size) but mainly computer generated, and most quests are random. The dungeons are randomly generated and easy to get lost in, and some are impossible to complete. And you need all the patches you can get as the original release is incredibly buggy and unstable.
Otherwise it was a fine game for its time. The best comparison I've seen is "Elite with swords" which it really is. Quests often have multiple solutions. Horses, wagons, and ships are much more useful than in Oblivion (wagons take loot and reduce your encumbrance, horses shorten travel time which matters when quests are timed).
