Any books that have the same level of complexity in regards to myth building and interaction with the world building and plot?

Not even. If you can adjust to the graphics (which look fine in my opinion), then Morrowind outshines Skyrim in many ways. The game is a very unique experience that I recently discovered and loved, as a zoomer

How clunky is it relative to skyrim and be honest. I haven't played vidya in a long ass time but I may be willing to try something like MW. Are there any modpacks that polish things up a bit? I'm an unabashed ZOOMER.

Literal real world religions. Read Swedenborg and start reading the Ancients.

Download Morrowind
Download the unofficial patch
Download MGE and increase view distance
Maybe a texture pack

There you go. It's not modern standards of smoothness but it's a very rich experience that outshines many aspects of later games. Even though I first played skyrim too morrowind is a lot of fun, although I have to admit I have never finished it. I think you should give it a try and just get through the starting slog of having a weak ass character.

I admittedly also prefer skyrim over morrowind- but I'm almost certain this is just because I played skyrim when it came out when I was 10 years old.

The one thing you need to know going in is the combat is RNG and skill based so you are going to miss A LOT starting out. Expect to run from a lot of things.

I frankly can't imagine enjoying the gameplay of Morrowind after starting with Skyrim. But the immersiveness is where it succeeds brilliantly; the fact that I've been playing it every year for the last 17 years and am still finding new quests and new (interesting and worthwhile) dungeons says a lot about it. The playthrough I'm doing now is the first time I've fucked with alchemy and I'm lying awake nights just thinking about in-game plant lore. You don't really notice the shitty UI or combat when you care that deeply about the storyline.
Definitely get different skins for the NPCs though; the originals are fucking dire.
