I should save my game in a whole new slot
It didn't for me at least. The lack of characterization for NPCs in Morrowind was lacking but the story's ideas and notions are a lot more thought-provoking and interesting enough to keep me going (plus the Quest NPCs had better written dialogue and some degree of character).Sadly, Morrowind's dialogue system not only sucked, but it basically killed the story for me.
Morrowind does certainly need a better dialogue system but it's dialogue system did help me learn more about the setting that future installments ever did with their own dialogue systems. Certainly helps that everything was written like a Wikipedia article.
