The main problem with Morrowind was the vast expanse of greige. The Divinities were always prettier than that.
Well, except for Beyond Divinity.
Mods fixed that, but to be honest, I started playing Morrowind on my Xbox. The landscape never bothered me. The dungeons, shrines, interesting lore/characters (omg, the 'Tower of Tel Fyr'!) and creepy encounters with Daedra kept me immensely invested.
