never played morrowind, but played all the other Elder Scrolls games. Thought about picking it up. What do you think of installing all 3 of the big mods together? Here is a video about how to do it.
Tamriel rebuilt makes the game bigger right? Does it add value content? Or just more stuff to run around in?
Rebirth: makes the game twice as hard right?
Overhaul: improves graphics right?

Why don't you try it un-modded the first time 'round? Get a grasp of what you like and what you don't, and only then modify the game to your liking. There's a reason Morrowind is considered one of the best in the series atmoshpere-wise, you know.
Changing stuff without experiencing it beforehand might result in a less engaging experience.
But be sure to grab the unofficial patch for Morrowind, it fixes a lot of issues, and is really the only plugin there's no sense playing
without.
If you insist on bringing mods to your first playthrough, try starting with ones that don't overhaul the game from scratch.
Anyways, Morrowind is great, and I have fond memories of playing through it (one of the few titles I remember my very first game of - you'll see why
). So if you're thinking about getting it, by all means, go for it!
