I decided to play Morrowind as an archer to bring a bit more of a FPS feel to it. Already beat it once, and I am currently cheating the fuck out of it. I have a dwarven crossbow that deals an extra 15-20 fire damage per hit. Not to mention the ice damage "shard bolts" that I...aquired. I have yet to get either expansion, have DLed no plugins either. However, there's the "Mog Mod" (really slow in development, but looking highly polished), which adds the Moogle from the FF games as a new race (looks like a cartoony humanoid Moogle though) and new, beefy swords (including the almighty Buster variety).
Look at the Mog Mod off of the link at
