Perhaps that might help you also:

I'm not sure, if I could talk of an awesome storyline, but the scenery is such
beautiful and all things you can do... that's awesome! :-)

And the best way, there are a lots of side quests , which provides you with a
lot of weapons, scrolls... you don't have to follow the main quest first...
just enjoy the environment... (and collect herbs, go hunting, fishing,
diving...). You can join some guilds and work your way up to their master.
(There are very good mods, which give you quests, when you acchieve the master
title.)
I also prefer Morrowind. I can't describe it very well, but it was "more alive",
also when people in Oblivion look more like real persons and got individual
behaviours.

But it has a wonderful magical world, which is quite strange and because of that
fascinating. (I missed that in Oblivion, which is only a kind of MA surroundings
(except Shivering Isles addon, of course, which isn't very big). When you find
it, you should buy the GOTY Morrowind package, which includes Bloodmoon and
Tribunal.
Which mods do you think of?
