Bethesda doesn't wish to divulge the specifics of character generation yet, but suffice it to say that there's massive variety in Morrowind, just in terms of the types of characters you can choose to play as. There are dozens of different skills that you can learn and improve, either by paying to train in them or just by using them repeatedly. To balance this out, Morrowind does essentially place characters into one of three standard RPG character classes: fighters, thieves, and magic users. Depending on which of these basic templates you adopt, you'll be more or less capable at different skills, and you'll be able to approach the game's innumerable challenges in different ways. Expect multiple solutions to every situation--brute force is generally an option, but so is persuasion or subterfuge.
Expect an in-depth look at Morrowind and the editor at GameBanshee by me in the next day or two... maybe sooner! It will include screens from my explorations of the land. :)
