I started it twice and quit both times about a third of the way through the main quest, I just got tired of having to kill each worm for an hour, because out of ten attacks with any weapon or magic, only about two would hit.
The only exception I remember was the ghosts; they need to be killed with a specific weapon, or maybe magic worked. I think if I had encountered them as a child, I would have panicked :D
I got acquainted with Morrowind after Skyrim, about 10-8 years ago from the current moment (everyone has heard this story from me, but okay, whatever). Yes, Morrowind is more interesting than Oblivion, which I tried after that and stopped at the character creation stage. After all, graphical enhancements and a really beautiful picture are different things (although I think that the mods for Morrowind also contributed, they improve everything quite well).
