Morrowind! Besides the wealth of non-story quests, the modding community is HUGE and lets you add EVEN MORE CONTENT. (To be fair, the modding communities for all TES games are massive.)
Well, not all. It really started with Morrowind.
There are some mods for Daggerfall, but not what I'd call a massive community. Arena is mostly ignored, and it's like Battlespire and Redguard were erased from history altogether.
You’re totally right, haha. I was just so excited while posting that, in my hasty attempt to include the later games’ communities, I just blanket-statemented the whole series! Thanks for catching that 😅
It's understandable 😁, Morrowind is definitely when the series started to get more mainstream audience, and the older ones are not talked about a lot. I had never even heard of them before trying Morrowind, I rediscovered them later mainly because I can't let a game drop a "3" on me without wondering what came before.
Doesn't help that there was a big design shift between Daggerfall and Morrowind (more than anything between TES 3-4-5), and they're very different games.
Daggerfall did have a bit of modding though. Most quests were procedurally generated using quest templates, like "[type of NPC] sends you to [type of dungeon] to find [McGuffin] for [reward]". I remember a mod that added lots of new quest types for more diversity.
