Good question. I think part of the joy is exploration, actually. I recall looking through some spoiler-files in the 90s - but I recommend just diving in. There should be some rudimentary help in-game (bound to "?" I think?). If you don't have a num-pad you might want "rogue" keybindings - and remember to wear/wield armor and weapons, bring food (and eat it) and a source of light...
