Hehe yeah, it was just that if you ever played Morrowind or Oblivion a lot, you would know that mods are/can be half(if not more!) of the game :p Think I played Morrowind something like 600 hours(one play through), which was in no small part due to tons of amazing mods(many of which outshined the base of the game by miles).
Hmmm... What morrowind mods would you reccomend? I have Pc morrowing GOTY(but not oblivion) and had trouble getting into the game.

Hmm its been what.. 10 years lol? Having a hard time remembering. First off there is of course the 2 expansions. Definitely recommend those.
Best bet for mods would be to go to:
http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/?
It is probably the main hub for mods.

One of the first things I would do is install Better Bodies. The vanilla bodies are horrible.

Several armour replacers should be available that are based on Better bodies as well.

Texture and sound improvements are probably welcome when coming back to the game after 10 years.

If I was going back, I would most certainly look for a mod that improved the combat system. The vanilla system of having to click R(I think) to ready you hands to cast spells, and then "R" again to get weapons back out was just so clumpsy compared to newer games.

Else just try and browse the highest rated mods on the nexus and read the descriptions. I might be able to name the names of a few mods, but they might not exist anymore or have been replaced.

One thing I would have to stress is to try not and be tempted by the many "OP" mods outthere. At least not until you are well into/done with the main quests etc.

EDIT: Just remembered a few things:
http://lovkullen.net/Emma/
I remember most of those people on that site as making quality work(You might even recognise a few of the names from the MC modding scene lol). Specially Emma's and Grumpy's work still stand clear in mind now that I get it refreshed. Emma's "White wolf of Lokken" was a great quest mod back in the days.

CanadianIce did a ton of really good looking stuff, sadly mostly only for female characters(which most modders did/do, so if you like nice looking armour, considder making a female char):
http://canadianice.moddersrealm.com/

Bethesda released a row of free mods themselves to sort of get the ball rolling, definitely worth downloading:

Hmm, all this talk of TES games makes me want to dust off my morrowind stuff and play again. Maybe this time I will beat the main campaign(first time for everything I guess).
As for Minecraft: DW20 with AM2, MPS, Red power and probably some others disabled and a whole bunch added including but not limited to Mekanism, rotarycraft, gendustry, mariculture, Pam's harvestcraft, hunger overhaul, dartcraft, witchery, blood magic, and shortly all the TC4 addons I can squeeze in.

you know what I'd love... if TES 6 wasn't like... "The Elder Scrolls: Valenwood" or any other province... but was the ENTIRITY of Tamriel, maybe even including Pyandonea to the south.. the main story arc could be something along the lines of The Pyandoneans invading or even the Aldmeri Dominions war with the Empire

Didn't Arena have most of Tamriel available for exploitation exploration?

More like 20.
Oh gods that makes me feel old, Morrowind is turning 12 this year. Almost all my neighbors' kids are younger than my favorite game, which I bought new.:eek:
I remember getting morrowind for free in a pouch of games when I bought a graphics card(you don't see that anymore). I LOVED it but scratched the disc eventually, so went out and bought the GOTY box with all the expansions etc.
