Okay well I thought I'd give daggerfall a try, so I followed the instructions on here to install daggerxl and at first it seemed to work well. I decided to make a female Breton mage, but when I started up the game my character had a male body with clothes that can't be removed and I didn't get any starter spells either. ;X It seems unwilling to let me unequip new items I equip either and the game seems to crash a lot, despite my computer being able to run Oblivion.

I've tried reinstalling it a few times, but that doesn't seem to change anything. Any ideas?

Hey, DaggerXL isn't even in alpha state, so you should expect bugs, crashes, glitches, whatever...
Spells are not implemented yet.

oh that explains it. I thought it was a mostly completed project.

Well guess I'll play the normal version for now. I'll definitely try this out when some more features get released though - what has been done so far looks pretty impressive.
