What type of tasks are you looking for exactly?

I would suggest you look for things like White Wolf of Lokken or Of Justice and Innocence while you might want dungeon crawls which I can't stand.

What kind of things do you like? :)

Yes, yes I can. My favorites at least:

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3940: Fun mod that may not be for every character that you roleplay. Since you join a very NON-stereotypical Witch Coven and travel to many fanciful and fascinating areas and gain several artifacts of power, magical abilities, and fight hordes of enemies. All this is accompanied by interesting, humorous, lore-compatible dialogue and quest lines. I highly suggest this fun little mod.

http://mw.modhistory.com/download--6993: An enjoyable quest mod which delves into various facets of existing lore, mainly the Dwemer, Vampires, and Liches. But other things as well. This mod will have you hiking all over Vvardenfell. There's an OPTIONAL ending to become a Lich yourself. But that is optional and is not the focus of this mod.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2998: An intricately made mod with intriguing dialogue choices and a really interesting island to visit. Not to mention the quest itself which will have you hooked right away. Go read the description and see if it doesn't peak your interest :wink:

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3242: I've only played this quest once, but I remember enjoying it greatly. Someone else may be able to proffer a more personal account of their experience. But I remember really enjoying this one.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=9230: A darker mod that takes you into the seedy underworld of the named City. This mod is lots of fun and has wonderful atmosphere.

http://mw.modhistory.com/download--7142: If you're into the Dwemer and would like to see their story developed further in Morrowind. I did enjoy playing through this mod once. Give it a try!

As a side note, these are a few that I've heard good things about but never tried myself:
Wizard's Island http://mw.modhistory.com/download--6972 http://mw.modhistory.com/download--6973 http://mw.modhistory.com/download--6974 http://mw.modhistory.com/download--9934
http://mw.modhistory.com/download--8664
http://morrowind.nexusmods.com/mods/27306
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=2379 (http://www.fileplanet.com/139336/130000/fileinfo/Inn-of-the-Whispering-Wood)

If I think of any others I've played, I'll let you know :biggrin:

EDIT: A few that I missed:

Note that http://morrowind.nexusmods.com/mods/42145/ includes a whole slew of quests
As does http://lgnpc.org/home
If you plan on joining House Telvanni: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=4449 and http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=5997 are absolute musts (http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=5730/http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7736&comment_page=3 is one I always play with as well.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7181 is more of a minigame, but it good to keep you busy

If you're into dungeons, I'd recommend checking out http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6270 and http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8710

Adding two more:

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7817 adds The Sable Dragon Inn south of Hla Oad at the mouth of the Odai river with several quests for starting characters. To be honest it doesn't fit well into my setup because of its superior graphics (not also sure about ninjas, still love the hat though :biggrin:). Give it a try to see for yourself.

http://princessstomper.wordpress.com/2009/02/23/dance-of-the-three-legged-guar/ is a high-quality comedy adventure.

And again: many thanks to the authors!

I wholeheartedly endorse Dahrk's mention of the Rise of House Telvanni, and Uviriths Legacy - possibly the most professionally made quest mods I've ever played.

I'll quote myself here:

Juniper's Twin Lamps: As far as I'm concerned, this is THE twin lamps mod. In spite of its age, it provides multiple ways to proceed through the main quest (giving you the chance to completely ban the slavery on Vvardenfell, if you wish so), choices with appropriate consequences and not the usual fetch quests which are unfortunately so common in vanilla Morrowind.

Then, if you plan to play as a Telvanni, these two are pretty much mandatory:

Rise of House Telvanni and Uvirith's Legacy: the first one adds 20-something quests when you become Archmagister, providing lots of choices with sometimes world-altering consequences
Spoiler



(you can, for instance, overthrow Dren (in several ways), establish his daughter as your puppet and become de facto ruler of whole VVardenfell - this was probably one of the most satysfing experiences I've ever had in any RPG I've played).
The second one *dramatically* enhances the Telvanni stronghold, adding tons of quests (again, it often allows you to make choices on how to proceed). Unfortunately, RoHT and Juniper's Twin Lamps are "conceptually" incompatible if you play them together, since for instance you could find yourself in a situation where you have banned slavery with TL, yet you're still dealing with twin lamps in RoHT as if nothing had happened.

Other recommendations:

Havish: best thief quests I've ever seen in pretty much any RPG I've played, the original Morrowind thief questline absolutely pales in comparison. Not to mention it's strongly inspired by Daggerfall (and it shows, especially in the layout of the main city), and that's a huge plus for me.

Booty Island: another great mod by JOG - not exactly lore-friendly, but still very much worth playing.

Lothavor's Legacy: story based mod with a huge focus on NPC interaction and extensive branching dialogue trees for each one of the six NPCs you meet (they all have their own, random, schedule and interactions - for instance, they react if you get too near when they're sleeping).

LGNPC series: gives many of the uninteresting NPCs you find in the cities a personality (therefore giving you a reason to talk to them), as well as adding many well-done quests. LGNPC Pax Redoran completely overhauls the Redoran faction.

Tamriel Rebuilt: the first map has more than 100 quests, many of them with multiple paths to completion.

Archipel de Pertevue: if you can read french and spend some time to make the plugin compatible with the english version, this mod is an absolute must. It adds something like 200 quests, multiple conflicting factions, a whole town you can build and then manage with lots of inventive quests (for instance, in one of those quests, if you make a stupid decision you have to stand a trial!) and many jaw-dropping scripted effects (a ship sinking in real time)

Iredior Conspiracies: this is a beta of a mod which unfortunately was never finished, but it's truly a hidden gem: it adds a HUGE city, multiple new factions, many inventive quests which often allows you to make choices with big consequences (for instance, there's this quest where, if you are a member of a faction and you make a particular choice, you can have the Mages Guild banned from the city - then there's the whole political main questline dealing with the assassinations attempt on the king which allows you to take sides). As I said, though, the module isn't finished, is buggy and many of the quests can't be completed unless you're willing to use the console.

This, of course, isn't a comprehensive list of quest mods, since there are many other good ones - I'd advise you to search on PES and/or on Morrowind Nexus (that's how I found Iredior, for instance).

I'd never heard of the Iredior Conspiracies, samtam. I took a peek and it looks like a fun city to explore. I've downloaded it. I now plan to try that one out myself. Thanks for mentioning it!

Also, I'll second the Brother Juniper's Twin Lamps mod. That's one I've played before and it's a lot of fun if your character's into abolition.

edit:

\/ \/ \/ - yes, as Tronvillain says, Abandoned Well at Dagon Fel is lots of fun and very visually impressive as well - \/ \/ \/

I personally love http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=1125. Despite its' minor flaws (especially an abrupt ending), it is lovely and has some really amazing techniques.
