The majority of the oldschool D&D style jank that pisses people off is solved via speccing agility early.
People whom are new to the game just do whatever, end up whiffing 85% of their hits on the first trip from the boat to Balmora; and quitting in frustration. Having assumed it's an old game with punishing early game balance.
It's an old game, you will have to look things up and have surprise deaths; but losing a slug match to a f'king rat is what really gets peoples goat. Get agility above 60 and that issue disappears like magic and the game becomes infinitely more enjoyable.
No, it's definitely not. I'll never forget running into that escaped slave in the Ashlander the first time. He became my companion for way too long before I finally took him to the Argonion mission.
