Better?

EDIT: Since I am always complaining about Elder Scrolls: Arena, I decided to try out Daggerfall to see if my gripes were fixed. It looks better, but when has graphics been a problem? No, the core game is there and it is just as clunky. This is right after playing Arena to remember how bad it was. Something might be even worse, at least in Arena I could eventually hit something. I even made it out of the "impossible" first dungeon as I felt it was easy enough to understand. Daggerfall has a tutorial system that should make things a lot easier than the difficult dungeon Arena flings you into, yet I had better luck with the first game. In this one I just keep flailing around a sword and cannot even hit the bat one time! Daggerfall even causes you to stop for a second or two, like the player keeps getting stuck. Yeah, so from a player that could survive Arena's dungeon I go to the more simple Daggerfall which proceeds to be too complicated for me to figure out.

Besides the rant about, there is little different between the two games. We basically have the same HUD, same questions, same stats, even the same sounds. So, the lesson is that I need to stay away from the Elder Scrolls series as it ends up driving me insane with the clunky controls (and lack of actual content, Daggerfall got to the point where more than 90% was just randomized towns and characters and Arena wasn't much better). And they say Thief had bad sword combat (I even disliked JK's lightsaber hit detection in comparison to Thief's)...
