I'm about to head into Morrowind for the first time. Now, my friends inform me that the gameplay is very different from Oblivion and Skyrim, where you actually have a miss percentage. So, you can be swinging at a guy with a sword, at point blank and keep missing. I was wondering if there was a mod that makes the combat closer to ES IV & V.

Also, other than combat, I want this to be a pure expereience, but I wouldn't mine a graphical upgrade and bug fixes.

So, yeah, Graphical Upgrade, Bug Fixes, and "better" combat. Anyone have a mod or know which mods I need to do this?

For how to find and use the mods you want, and info on all the tools and patches, etc, read through this http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1305729-mod-recommendations-for-new-players/

As for the combat mod, you might want to try http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8355
There are others as well. But I've never used any of these, so I have no idea if they are any good.

If you want a pure Morrowind except combat... well, then you're going to miss out on a lot of the "purity"

Have you tried vanilla combat yet? If you build your character correctly, it's not going to be a problem, just a bit of learning and patience required.

And if you haven't read this yet, it helps learn the changes... http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Differences_Between_Morrowind,_Oblivion,_and_Skyrim
