You were faster in combat, and tired less easily, but no longer could you carry a dozen weapons, two suits of armor, six robes, and ten jugs of booze. Considering an Imperial to represent a human, and level 20 to equal an average healthy adult, and what items that person would normally carry, and how much weight they could comfortably carry, I adjusted the weights of everything, and the strength (hence encumbrance) of the races, to be more "realistic". I created my own Morrowind mod addressing this (after testing a few other mods that didn't do it exactly as I wanted). A longsword is comparable to a baseball bat, how heavy could that be before you could not easily swing it as a weapon. For everyday reference, a dagger could be compared to a butcher knife - if it weighed even a couple of pounds it would be quite difficult to use, especially as a weapon. That's been a complaint back to the early days of Morrowind though "weight" is expressed solely by numerical value, with no unit of measurement (does that dagger weigh 10g? 10oz? 10kg? 10lb? more likely just a proprietary unit of "encumbrance").
A typical sword would weigh less than a newborn baby (and be significantly better designed for holding in an outstretched hand without making your arm fall off!)) (Oh, and my understanding is that actual armour and weapons were a LOT lighter than most people think these days, yeah. (SpicyFox is great, very cute, but I don't massively like needing to use plugins for replacers to work - EVE and APFA have a few, but (with the exception of the - I think optional - Shivering Isles Easter Egg one) they can all be merged into my bashed patch, as they basically mostly just say "hey, game, there's a female version of this now".) (Sadly, it doesn't seem to cover the shield, so I use Crystal Glass (installed before APFA) for that, as it's, well, not lime green.) Also, I ADORE the "British racing green" retexture of the glass armour and - IIRC - weapons. Extra Buff torso and "wide" hips) including its Armamentarium add-on, and then over the top of that I install Assorted Protective Female Armours which are still based on the HGEC sillhouette, but significantly less boob-platey. For armour, I really like a combination of EVE HGEC Eyecandy Variants Expansion (which will also install an HGEC body if you don't have one - lets you have more choices of nevernude bodytype than the default HGEC install, which is great - I think the regular HGEC download only has E-cup with tiny bottom, whereas with this I can have e.g.
