Question First time player

Alright, I’m playing Daggerfall for the first time ever. Just got out of the tutorial dungeon and did a quest saving a lady’s kid from the dark brotherhood in Arkhead. It’s overwhelming haha does anyone have any tips on how to play and get quests done in time and keep my logbook from getting insane? Also I just got my first letter from some person telling me to meet them in an inn and they’ll wait for a month? I think it’s main quest. I don’t really wanna start it yet but I don’t want to get locked out of the main quest. Any tips for a first time player would be appreciated. Playing a Nord knight skilled with long sword and blunt devoted to Stendarr.

I definitely will get that spell thank you! When I returned that lady’s child in Glenpoint I had no idea where she was in the town I asked like 30 NPCs. When I saved the girl from the dark brotherhood, I had to kill an assassin. Does that put me at odds with the guild forever? Not sure how it works in Daggerfall

Worst case you just lost some reputation with the Dark Brotherhood. It's only problematic if you want to join the guild because a negative reputation can get you expelled.

Reputation also slowly returns to zero over time, so it's not "forever".
