It's displayed in the upper left corner when you open your map, but if you want to keep it visible all the time, you'll have to use an add-on. They're safe if you download them from a reliable site - try esoui.com and the Minion manager. Lua files won't do anything to your PC, just don't use anything that contains an .exe. (actually, some out-of-game tools like GSA offline component do have an .exe, but they aren't really add-ons, they just gather data from add-ons. You don't need them right now.)Thanks all and @tinythinker for all the details. I will eventually get through them all.
The only question I can think of right now is how do I check the in-game time? Do I have to install an add-on? And are add-ons generally safe or can they potentially harbour any malicious code?
A bit of everything, but quests are the most important. Your character level increases when you complete quests, clear all objectives in an area, kill mobs, discover new places, open chests.Also, I haven't read how levelling works yet, but is it with usage like older Elder Scrolls systems or is it with experience gained through quests? During game I think I noticed a mixture of both? Or it could have been just experienced gained and thought it was from skill usage

Hahah you guys are great. I like the idea of minimaps but I think I will try the vanilla UI and see if I eventually want some more functionality. I still need to actually learn how to play before changing everything!
Yes, agreed, I played 1-50 on my first character with the vanilla UI. Even now I only use a handful.Hahah you guys are great.

That's probably best. While I think there are around 4 to 8 Addons that are great for functionality, they are not required to make the game run. Plus, you don't know what you want until you try the game stock first and then wonder what is missing or not from the UI.
Great @Rosveen and @tinythinker thanks! I am on the EU server. I look forward to joining the Mages Guild.
I hope all people in the game are as welcoming and helpful as all of you guys/gals
If you want you can add me in the game as well, it would be great to see you. My
character name is Lord Marfinil (excuse the silly name!) (or should i supply the username?)

If you want to join a nice helpful PvE Guild, Lone Wolf Help is one way to go. All we care about is helping each other and having fun. Message me in game and I can invite you.
Hi @Nestor and thanks for the invite. Looks like a guild I would be interested in. Is it on the NA or EU server (I am in the EU one) and does that make a difference?
