Greetings everyone!

I'm an Oblivion and Skyrim veteran and I'm looking to complete a play-through of Morrowind.

I know that they games are very different and so I'm looking for some help creating a character that won't be totally gimped. I have read to go with a melee class for a first time playthrough and would love to make a Redguard that uses bows and long blades and potentially light/medium armor.

Any potential tips?

Thanks!
