I just bought Morrowind from GOG, any mods or things I should know about before I play?

I've played Oblivion and Skyrim on console, but this will be my first TES on PC

I would go OpenMW way. Check https://www.openmw.org

You can play it vanilla. There is a pretty extensive graphics overhaul. It’s been a while since I’ve played but this nexus page seems to be up to date.

A lot of the charm of the game is in exploring and experimenting. So, I can’t tell you much. Just know that it is not like the other elder scrolls games you’ve played and some of the systems are different.

The only thing you should know so you don’t get frustrated and quit is that the combat works on dice rolls. If you feel like you aren’t doing any damage you are probably “missing.” Work on improving your weapon skills if you want your combat to get better.

Have fun!

I haven't played this game in forever. I should give it another go. The theme song just popped back into my head.

I just started playing with MW, and was wondering why none of my hits do any damage. And then I found the action points falling rapidly in the corner.

The White Wolf of Lokken Mountain is an incredible story and landmass mod
