In order to really enjoy morrowind:
1. Learn all the features the map has
2. Do not rely on guilds/jobs for money(plenty of faqs on money pumps in game)
3. TRAIN YOUR SKILLS at the trainers
4. The designers did a horrible job of directing the player so get an online guide, pick a quest and complete it howver you want.
555555.......!!!!!!! The original morrowind IS DULL after about 20 hrs of play. Thats where mods come in
There are a huge variety of mods including themed mods like AVP, gameplay mods like sri's alchemy, visual effects like BetterBodies and there are entire lists of mods online(some of the mods might even have QUESTS lol)
OH YES, if you do play morrowind at least, at the very least, i beg you to get the morrowind enhanced and combat enhanced mods. They make the game twice as enjoyable:
