Find the Talking Mudcrab. He is somewhere south of the Azura Shrine. I thinks thats the name probably not. It'd be better if you google that though. Or level up to 63. That was my highest morrowind level.
I'll do my best. Also, how big is the world? Bigger than Oblivion or not?
Smaller than Oblivion, but WAY better.
Okay, first off, you NEED to join House Telvanni. They have the best quests by far, you can join them in Sadrith Mora if they don't hate you too much.
I'd recommend following the main storyline, while it does get quite hard to follow at times, it's very rewarding, gives you good connections to people who can help you out, and makes the general public like you alot more.
The talking Mudcrab is actually a little east of a Dwemer ruin called Mzanhch, which is east of Vivec on one of the many islands there.
Obviously there are plenty of guilds for you to try out, be aware that if you join two, they MIGHT end up fighting each other at certain points and you'll have to ditch one in favour of the other.
You're going to need to level up LOTS before you can wander around the Ashlands or any other dangerous places (don't even bother with Bloodmoon or Tribunal until you're level 20 or so), sadly levelling takes a while, it's better just to muck around with some guild quests. If you're travelling down a road that you know is safe, run diagonally and constantly jump. You'll have no Fatigue for the most part, but it's worth it. You get incredibly fast.
Once you've gotten to a high level, then I highly recommend getting some mods or the expansion packs, for mods I'd suggest Tamriel Rebuilt, the Morrowind Code Patch (actually you might as well just start with this), Morrowind Graphics Extender, and a few others you like the look of.
Also, don't take your first save slot too seriously, you're bound to make another one based on a classtype you like. My fifth or sixth save was a Breton specialising in Unarmored, Short Blade and Restoration. I went straight for the dangerous areas, epic fun.
As far as combat goes, don't whine that you can't hit anything! You NEED to have Fatigue when you walk into combat, regardless of how good your character is. It's also a good idea to have either a bow with a decent supply of arrows, or a decent ranged spell. Bows are expensive to get ammunition for, but higher level spells are very hard to find and consume alot of Magicka. Go for one or the other depending on your character. And don't forget to try and dodge attacks...
For your first save, try and dwell in EVERYTHING. Join all the guilds, a Great House (telvanni or die), find heaps of random quests, start the main storyline, wander around, find out what works for you, get Tamriel Rebuilt and travel around there (again, or die), steal a bunch of stuff, et cetera. Then make another save and go from there.
A couple tips and easter eggs:
-There's an Iron Shardaxe hidden in a tree stump behind the lighthouse in Seyda Neen - take it if you're any good with Axe.
-The more remote a place you're in, the worse prices merchants will give you for items. Stay away from buying anything in small towns like Dagon Fel.
-Take stuff from crates! All the crates outside in places like Balmora won't alert the guards if you steal from them. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find a Quality or Exclusive potion in them. Usually they're useless, sell them to an alchemist. I even made a thousand gold just by taking junk like pots and pieces of paper.
-Sell stuff to specific merchants if you can. Armorers will give you better prices for armor than general merchants will, with the exception of that dickhead Meldor in Balmora. Stay away from him, he's a massive prick.
-In Jobasha's Rare Books in Vivec (foreign quarter), there's a pot plant with some epic loot hidden inside. It's called Charles

-In the Gro'Bak Manor in Caldera (you have to walk or Mages Guild teleport to Caldera), there's a Scamp called Creeper. He's alot like the Mudcrab Merchant - he has an excessive amount of gold and will buy almost anything.
Hope this all helps, I've had alot of experience with the game
