Why would you not try to get the best stuff you possibly can within the realms of your character (i.e. heavy armour or light armour, favoured weapon, etc.). It doesn't really make sense that a character would deliberately choose to wear less powerful armour than the best they've found, or use a weaker weapon or such. Not in a roleplaying sense; you don't have to be powergaming for that to be the case. So the game should have been designed so that if you explore all the places it provided for exploration and find all the powerful stuff, there should still be challenges in some battles.
Morrowind did poor in the balance department. It was very easy to become very powerful, and using the best equipment only did it worse. Normally in games this isn't a problem but it was in Morrowind.

Blame Bethesda, not me.
