The graphics are far less impressive than I remember from the few times I did play it and the controls feel unwieldy compared to even Oblivion, and boy do I feel pretty old now, but all and all I am really looking forward to getting into it.

Anyone have any good suggestions as to a really fun place to start that won't get me killed too quickly while I get used to the controls? Any fun classes to play, or mods that improve things so much they are worth getting before playing around in vanilla?

Well, my advice is that you should never play a stealth-oriented character in Morrowind. The stealth mechanics are extremely bad, espescially Sneaking and Marksman don't function properly.

I personally always play as a Dunmer Sorcerer or Battlemage. Magic makes a lot of fun in Morrowind (for example, Levitation spells) and the Fighting mechanics aren't that bad if you level up and invest in your fighting skills.

Have fun!
