                   The Elder Scrolls, Chapter I: Arena
                            Version 1.07 CD-ROM
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Hot keys not documented in the manual:
  Shift + C = Recast spell
  Ctrl + left arrow or right arrow  = Slide left or right
  '-' and '+' = scroll inventory up or down in charsheet.
  Shift + J = Standing long jump.
  F3 key = toggle damage response. There are three choices
     available: "Normal Roll", "Severe Roll", and "Cross Hatch".
  F4 key = toggle message pixellation. If you would prefer
     messages to pop on to the screen rather than pixellate in, click
     the F4 key. Clicking the key again will toggle the messages back
     to pixellation.
  '-' during game play on a fast machine (Pentium, DX4) = slow down
  '+' during game play on a fast machine (Pentium, DX4) = speed up

+ A Pentium slowdown has been included. To slow down game play for a
Pentium, modify the arena.bat file by adding:
"-delay:#" 
to the end of line that starts with @A
where # is an integer between 1 and 9. 1 is fast, 9 is slow. 
We recommend 3 as a good speed.
If, after starting the game on your Pentium using this feature, you
find the speed still is not right, you may adjust the delay using the
+ and - keys. 

+ Getting stuck in a wall: if this happens, check the automap - if
there is an open tile adjacent to you, then just save your game, exit,
and start up again, restoring the game. You will find yourself out of
the wall. If there are no open tiles nearby, you will have to restore
a previous game. We recommend that you do not Passwall into a
stairwell, or you will almost certainly get stuck.

+ Can't get an Artifact Quest: This seems to be related to picking the
Start New Game option while in the middle of another game. We recommend
that you do not choose this option. If you do find that you have
reached at least level 5, and you still get no Artifact Quest when
asking townsfolk for Rumors - General, then you may enable these quests
by hitting:
      [ALT] F5
in combination. (a message should appear)
NOTE: This will _not_ enable another quest if you already possess an
artifact, and it could potentially ruin an Artifact Quest if you are
currently on one. This fix is only intended to be used _once_, if
at all.

+ A general helpful tip is to save your game often, and keep one backup
save file handy.

+ Many problems have been solved simply using the boot disk option from
the install.

+ Player can now rename spells (left-click on the spell name)

+ Due to popular demand, spellcasters can now delete spells from
their spellbooks. Simply go to the second page of your character
sheet, click on spellbook, double-click on the spell you wish to
delete, and when the spell description appears choose the new
"delete" option.

  We are currently in production for the second chapter of the Elder
Scrolls, Daggerfall, expected to completed in early '95. Daggerfall 
will feature the same open-endedness and breadth of area to explore
that Arena had, but will also include far more NPC interaction, a
faster and more flexible 3D engine, and a more sophisticated storyline.
All in all, Daggerfall will give you more opportunity to roleplay your 
character as you choose. We are very excited about it, and would 
appreciate any and all suggestions for it.

If you want to hold onto a character for the sequel, save files *.0x,
where x equals the number of the saved game (notice that 0 is the first
saved slot, and 9 is the last). Note that there will be several files
to save.

        Thank you for playing the Elder Scrolls, Chapter I: Arena.
