Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not the PC version would be better to have over the Xbox version?

A friend just picked up a copy today but mistakenly grabbed the wrong version. After brief consideration it would seem that the PC version would actually be better to have, hence no reason to return it for the Xbox version. Some thoughts included:

PC has better graphics?

PC has MODS available?

PC has the complete versions of both expansions while the Xbox only comes with some content but not all of it?

Any help resolving this matter would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, the PC version has better graphics, it has some MODs available, but none I would consider groundbreaking. Yet, anyway. I've seen some "in the works" MODs that look great. And for all we know, they'll release more expansions for Morrowind later, which means if you get the XBox version, you won't be able to get.

The mods on the PC make the game so much better, IMHO. However, most of them are junk that create inbalances in the game. There are a dozen or so really good ones, though, that really improve gameplay.

GB, I haven't played the game in awhile. Had trouble getting into it because the world felt so "dead". Which mods do you suggest might make it better?

I had thought about this point but had read an article that pointed out the ability to save your character on the Xbox Hard Drive for use with future expansions. This was being reported as part of the plans by Bethesda to continue making Morrowind a hit for the Xbox down the road. As a matter of fact, the GOTY version for the Xbox allows someone to load an original character from their regular version in order to advance that particular character through the two expansions included.

Right now I am leaning towards just keeping the PC version. This was bought by a friend as a trade for Star Wars KOTOR and was supposed to be an Xbox game for Xbox game deal. We plan on trading back again once we both have finished each new game but for now it just seems to make sense to keep the PC version instead of going through the hassle of the return.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the Xbox version comes with the full expansions or just a portion of each?
