I've had it on xbox for quite a while, had multiple playthroughs and loved the game. For some reason though, it wouldn't work well on my 360. So I got it on Steam during that half off sale, and will finally get the experience of playing it on PC.
With that being said, obviously I have no experiences with mods or anything with the game. Suggestions on ones I should use? Must haves? This may become a half-playthrough topic, we'll see how the game works with my laptop!

I feel like there are a few definite ones you should grab.... someone else will know.
There's something called.... the unofficial bug fix patch (or something) and i think that's the main one. there's also one that boosts the graphics i think (better looking morrowind?)
post in this topic how it goes. i'm in almost the same situation you are- loved the game on xbox, am seriously considering grabbing it on steam but have heard some older games have technical issues on windows 7 (maybe that was just the first deus ex)
What about anything that has more quests or just new stuff in general? I've played through this game so many times, that having something different to do could be fun and entertaining. Or is that Tamriel thing basically all of that?

Just went through the opening stuff, man this feels weird on PC. Going to take a lot of getting used to, especially when I start with combat. Changed some of the controls to make it a little more to my liking. Still weird.
Oh, and SPOILERS later on if this becomes a playthrough. Just in case I guess. Gave Fargoth back his ring, then proceeded to steal it and his cash for Hrisskar (sp?). That being said, I never went back to him, as he takes 2/3 of my well-earned gold. **** that, it's mine. Sold some stuff at Arrille's. Going to silt stride to Balmora, give Caius the stuff, and get the intro stuff from the Blades trainers. Then walk back so I can get to Pelagiad and steal stuff from the trader there (armor and steel weapons mostly).

There were a number of official plugins that I don't know whether or not they are included in the Steam version, those add some quests and other neat stuff.
Ok, I know PC gamers will hate this question but...............is there anyway I can make my 360 controller compatible with the game? It just feels so awkward and weird with the touchpad and keyboard....

Going with the PC controls for now. They still feel weird, but hopefully I'll get used to them! Just joined the Thieves, Fighters, and Mages guilds in Balmora. Oh, and the Blades too. Got a steel cuircass and helm from a trainer, and an iron warhammer. Haven't gotten to fighting anything yet, we'll see how that turns out.
Oh, my character is an orc, Obould Many-Arrows. Will post major/minor skills a little later

Found the mouse, plugged it in, went back to default controls (for the most part, switched the ones for switching next and previous weapons), and holy ****. Waaaay easier. WASD for movement doesn't seem nearly as awkward or annoying.
In Pelagiad now, stole a couple pieces of armor and weapons from Mebastian Ence. Slowly building up. First combat of the game against a kwama forager, iron warhammer bashed it in easily enough.
