Well it could be the case that you both didn´t understand the game. Morrowind has an intense story, the game is kind of a story itself. However all is hidden. Read the books, talk to people. Many many NPC have their own background story, there are no restrictions you can do almost everything.
The main quest is very intense and I love the ironic moves in it´s story line. Graphics were nice in the original game, but now they are even much better due to lots of great plugins.
I tell you folks, Vvardenfell is worth more than only one visit.
