I beat Morrowind last week for the first time! I’ve been trying to get into it for years and years and it never clicked but I finally got the hang of it and I’m totally obsessed now. This game is seriously incredible. I’m messing around with lightly modded Morrowind now (just the I Heart Vanilla pack through OpenMW) and it’s been great. I eventually want to do some of the bigger content mods too, but there’s so much about the base game I haven’t explored yet, and I have barely touched the DLCs too so I have a ways to go before doing content mods. I’m messing around with an alchemy build now and holy shit it’s overpowered. I get the memes now. 3.5 hours in and I’m a god already, and I don’t even know all the exploits and stuff, I’m just sort of playing the game normally just with some alchemy mixed in and I’m already insanely wealthy and strong, it’s crazy.

Whenever I play Morrowind I use Galsiah’s character development mod. It replaces the horrible leveling system with a system that automatically levels you and your attributes based on the skills you use. That way you can pick your major and minor skills and actually use them without worrying if you’ve leveled misc skills enough to get a decent multiplier on level up . I consider that a must have mod.

You have at least three entire playthroughs-worth of content to go through with Tamriel Rebuilt. It adds the rest of the entirety of mainland Morrowind for you to explore, which is about twice as much land area than base game Vvardenfell. There are tons of new towns and cities, quests, NPCs, locations, creatures, etc. in the mod. And there are “sister” projects like Skyrim: Home of The Nords and Project Cyrodiil, whose aims are to rebuild the entirety of those provinces accurately based on lore from the time Morrowind came out, within Morrowind itself.

What did you think of the ending? MW has my favorite TES main quest, Dagoth Ur is such an interesting bad guy.
