I would like to recommend the anti level scaling mods. Daggerfall's level scaling can get a bit extreme and you can later end up with scenarios where you walk into a random room in a random dungeon where four thieves, that can now use magic because of level scaling, cast an attack spell against you simultaneously and you die instantly.

Meaner Monsters mod by Ralzar (makes some monsters less mean):

Also, there is a setting in Daggerfall Unity that allows for smaller (still huge by any standard) dungeons:
Go into the settings.ini file and under experimental there is a setting for: SmallerDungeons. Change it from False to True
