I have never played Morrowind but I'd really like to.
As I understand it, playing it vanilla is a bit unstable and there have been fan-made improvements over the years but the torrential amount of mods has me confused on where to start.
What should I know before playing? What are Yea Forums's recommended mods to improve the experience?

>What are Yea Forums's recommended mods to improve the experience?
>A levelling mod (like MADD) to fix the bizarre levelling system
>A state-based HP mod (makes your HP boost from endurance retroactive, in the base game you have to max endurance as quickly as possible to maximise HP)
>A passive magicka regen mod is nice if you're used to the newer games. Not enough to unbalance combat but just enough so you can use spells without having to rest every 10 seconds.
>A companion teleporting mod just to make the handful of escort quests less suicide-inducing
>Graphic Herbalism, just so you don't have to open a menu every time you harvest ingredients
>Expansion Delay to stop you getting attacked by DLC assassins from day 1
That alongside the Code Patch should give you a mostly vanilla experience with a few improvements
Hey thanks that's a pretty good place to start

All you need
The only mod you need to fix all of Morrowinds flaws is called Skyrim.
You are welcome.
This is horrible advice OP.
I want to play this again for the first time in 15 years but my pc is so advanced now the fps is 400+ and it's just cooking my gpu and there seems to be no way to cap fps.
look I loved morrowind as a child, it was literally the first game I purchased with my own money (it was christmas/birthday money but whatever)
but it is 100% unplayable today to anyone but nostalgia fags. It's just a massive exercise in tedium. yeah the music is nice, the world is cool looking (not that cool to explore) but you just spend hours walking as slowly as the engine allows, reading terrible dialogue/story, and engaging in some of the blandest combat ever made.
What benefits does openMW offer over a modded steam version?
