Also, there is one problem that due to a bad implementation of Tribunal expansion set by Bethesda, after your first rest you get attacked by higher level Dark brotherhood Assassin. If you have installed the Patch for Purists, it will delay the attack until you achieve level 6. For more delayment, you should check mods "Tribunal delayed".
For mods, you may allways check nexusmods and morrowind mod's history (yet, that's a name of a webpage). Anyway, you should play the game and if you feel that there is something missing from it, there is a big chance that somebody already made a mod for it.
And one thing about leveling, I don't know how it works in Oblivion, but here you level up by leveling your major and minor skills, so you should, when creating your character, create your own class or choose the class with the skills which you are sure that you are going to use them alot, because if you make a character with a skills that you don't use, you will level up slowly or have to pay a lot of money for training (thing learned from Daggerfall).
And talking about skills, in Morrowind is infamous combat system, which many people call it "bad", but I call it realistic instead and unlike Oblivion and Skyrim, where skills and attributes influence damage given to enemy during combat, here, if you have low required stat for the skill or low skill (for example, when you try to attack somebody with long blade and /or low strength), then you miss the enemy, even when you graphically see that you hit him.
And also talking about melee combat, unless you turn on in the options "Use the best attack", there are 3 forms of attacking, based on how you move (which movement key you hold) during attacking. And, similarly to Ultima underworld (one old, but good RPG), if you hold your left mouse button and let finish the attack preparation animation before releasing it, your character will do more damage with weapon.
And same is it will spells, if you don't have your magic skill enough and enough of attributes connected with the skill, you are going to fail with spellcasting.
And you can still use even the skills which are outside of major/minor ones, but they won't help you level up.
EDIT: Also, I forgot that Bethesda released some official plugins to the game. As on Bethesda's website they are not available anymore, you can get them for example from there[www.nexusmods.com]on Nexusmods.
Also, don't use bows.
I'd read over the wiki to understand the mechanics.
I really recommend people don't use MGSO.
It's poorly optimized, outdated, is missing meshes, and buggy. Like, game-breaking amounts of bugs, especially for the expansion packs. For example in Bloodmoon important doors will not open and all containers will be empty if you enable a certain option, making a path in it's main quest impossible to complete.
I used it for a playthrough in 2016-17 after using a guide to fix it and it did work, however I was getting 18 FPS in cities like Balmora with Morrowind Rebirth, and this was after disabling it's dynamic grass, changes to trees/rocks, and letting Rebirth overwrite many things with it's own better optimized textures/meshes.
Modding the graphics even more extensively on my own for 2019 I'm getting 35 FPS in Balmora.
The guide to fix MGSO:
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43479/
Instead, if you want to update the graphics I recommend going it alone or this WIP guide:
https://github.com/Tyler799/Morrowind-2019/blob/master/Morrowind_2019.md
You do not have to do everything it suggests, you can just get the basics but probably at least want to read/follow "Baseline Installation and Boilerplate" and "Patches, Fixes and Otherwise"
(But if you do want to try most of what it says, DO NOT use the .esp for Tomb of the Snow prince. I have no idea why it even suggests using it, unfinished and completely broken.)
I also don't know if I'd recommend LGNPCs for a first playthrough, it's up to you.
Towards the end of that guide, it gives some gameplay mods. Links in the guide, I don't recommend most for a first playthrough except:
For a "vanilla-esque, but more accessible" first playthrough I'd recommend:
- Fair Magicka Regen
- or Purist Friendly Magicka Regen https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45636)
- Spell Cast Reduction
Magic is Morrowind, IMO, is just a bit too inaccessible. It doesn't regen, all but one alchemy ingredient that restores it are rare until level 20, and being a sustainable mage either requires you chose one of two races and one of two birthsigns at the start of the game. These make it a bit more plausible while staying fairly vanilla.
- True Skyrimized Torches (torches in Morrowind are realistic, meaning "almost useless." This is good middle ground for non-magika using characters.)
- Container Weight Maxed (Containers in Morrowind have a weight limit, which does make sense but also makes storage a pain and sometimes unrealistic. Like, I can fit two claymores in a barrel before it's maxed... but realistically they wouldn't fit at all or I could take the damn lid of and put like 20 in there)
if you are impatient and you still want to get into this game there's one simple but effective trick... listen to your own music while playing. music in morrowing is amazing and memorable, the only downside of this is that it becomes repetitive after some time. ;)
btw, music mod was among #1 mods of 2018. check it out.

and try not to ruin your experience with memes. <_<

But like every Bethesda game, I don't enjoy the modding process. How bad is it going to be for me to find the mods I'll need and get them working? If it's going to take me hours I'll probably pass...
I already posted the only mod you need, should take 30 minutes to download the files if you have slower internet, and another 10 to get them in order
There are two websites full of mods: Nexusmods and Morrowind mod history. And for essential mods you may check Google. For me, they are Morrowind Code patch, Patch for purists and Graphics herbalism. And best way or modding game is by playing it and if you find something which is missing there for you or it's just wrong, you may check if there is any mod for it.
