I had this all planned out in Oblivion when I played, and would like to do the same in Morrowind. I would like to be able to achieve the maximum level possible without cheating. From what I figured, it should be level 77? At any rate, I have some questions about getting there.

First off, the maximum stat bonus for each level is 5, right? And to get that five points, I need to get ten skill levels in skills with the same governing attribute?

Also, when you hit 100 in all attributes, will it stop you from leveling up any further? I remember doing some testing in Oblivion and seeing a "You cannot improve perfection" or something similar.

And finally, when you cap out an attribute, when you get certain quests, like Hlormar Wine-Sot's quest reward that gives +2 strength, will that add on to your strength, even if it's 100, making it 102 instead?

If anyone has does this, do you have any tips on how to go about it?

Thanks.

There are artifacts that raise skill so you "can" have a skill past 100. Also you can make your own fortify skill enchantments if you have the tribunal expansion. However, it serves little purpose as I don't think it gives any real benefit.

Attributes do go past 100, but be warned that it isn't permanent (unless it's a constant effect enchantment and even then your base level will still be damaged). Attribute bonuses are very useful, unlike the skill situation.

Once you do hit 100 though (not including any bonuses or damages) in all of your attributes you will be unable to level. This does take some doing though and once you get all your attributes to 100 you most likely will not have any skill left to level anyway.

Fortunately, there is no real leveling problem like there is in Oblivion. So you don't need to adhere to the 5 5 1 or 5 5 5 leveling guide.
