Making a custom class is always better than a premade one. Depending on which version you're playing, you can choose a race with an immunity to something, say poison, and then give yourself a critical weakness to poison for extra points to distribute. They may have fixed it in the unity version, but doing this doesn't negate your natural immunity.

I consider the best races to play either Argonian (for poison resist and waterbreathing) or High Elf (for resistance against paralysis.) If you roll a warrior, be prepared to make potions of levitation. Healing items exist, but often it's better to rest to regain HP.

Also, in the version I played, if you jumped while running up stairs, it would launch you into the stratosphere.

In general, >>6988213 has a lot of great advice, but I disagree about the swimming issues. It may have been clunky in perhaps the oldest versions available, but if you have a reasonable climbing skill, you should do fine with getting out of water.

After many years of playing and restarts, I finally finished the main quest of Daggerfall last weekend. This was the state of my character following Aetherius.
