I just bought Morrowind. What should I do before diving in?

I would just use OpenMW to play vanilla. I did last year and loved it. Completed both expansions - awesome game.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I love how you start weak/slow/etc. You can actually feel power increasing substantially as you level - you're faster, you hit more often, you can jump farther.. I think it has one of the best feelings of progression, by the end of the game you're leaping tall buildings in a single bound, casting lots of custom magic, and very powerful. It's nice. I really dislike that the latest game removed athletics/jumping.

keep jumping.
climbing up a hill? no jump up the hill.
level it up.

eventually you'll be able to jump over large houses.
Apply a potion to enhance jumping and you can jump over half the game map, lol.

Magic and alchemy in Morrowind are amazing. Just watch that landing, it may hurt a bit! 😉

I really like how that sounds.

I did mod the combat to remove the random chance, i didn't really like how that mechanic worked. I know people say it breaks the balance of the game but I also got a mod which rebalabces the game around the modified combat system so....
