I didn't beat the main quest Skyrim, Oblivion, or Morrowind until at least a decade after I bought them. Didn't even beat Morrowind until just a couple years ago. :P

Maybe I should just mess around the next time I play Morrowind. I’m currently playing Skyrim again, then I’ll probably play Oblivion for a while, and then I’ll try Morrowind again. Hopefully it’ll click this time. I really want to get hooked on it.

I definitely recommend heavily modding it. One I cannot live without when playing is the one that let's you increase the view distance further than two feet in front of your face. Its such a beautiful game and it's kind of a shame that the hardware limited the view distance in the first place.

Any other suggestions? I know of OpenMW but that’s it.

I mostly go for quality of life and stability ones. There are some decent guides on the Steam forums which I usually go through when I'm modding it. I usually just go for the unofficial patch, the view distance one, and a few more small ones. I'm kind of a purist so I don't like all the graphics update ones but there are some that are just essential. You'll have to get the MWSE (Morrowind Script Extender) in order to get some of them to work. I'll link one of the guides that I usually skim through to pick and choose which ones I want. The one for view distance is called Distant Land and requires the enhanced graphics mod.

It'll be a bit of work, but once your done you'll have a much better time.

I appreciate it, I’m saving your comment for when I try out Morrowind again. Thanks for the help.

I sank a few hundred hours over many different characters into Skyrim. Still never finished the main quest line.

I’ve got over 5k hours and in the realm of 50-100 playthroughs and I’ve probably only beat the main quest 2 or 3 times.
