I wouldn't expect Morrowind to have a shallow plot. That was a problem with the previous two games in the series, and the new team at Bethesda Softworks, assembled about three years ago, was very aware of this. They deliberately scaled back the game (which in earlier products of the series boasted more than 200 towns across several continents!), and focused on making the guilds and factions an active element in gameplay, instead of a re-active one that only responded to whatever you did.

I realize this doesn't make your choices any easier.

But if it helps, I would suggest watching the reviews when NWN and Morrowind hit the stands. I suspect NWN may be the richest in terms of what you can do, since it supports parties, rather than just single player games, but that's just me.
