Anyone has an idea how much is still missing to be feature- and gameplay-wise comparable to the original?

Wow, flashbacks. I remember after being incredibly wowed by Daggerfall, this game was a day one purchase. I was so excited, but I never got past the very first floor. It was just such an incredibly different experience than expected, not nearly as fun (to me) and so much more difficult.
I'll give it another try once this project reaches 1.0, though. Maybe an older, wiser me can enjoy what teenage me could not.
Arena came out 2 years before daggerfall....
For just a second, I thought I was looking at a remaster of Ultima underworld, and my heart skipped a beat
