If I were to only use MGE:XE long view (ie no shaders, bloom etc.. just long view at around 20 cells) would I get a steady 60fps in some of the lag heavy areas of the mainland? (sacred forest region, velothi mountains, almalexia etc..)

Getting 60fps in Morrowind is hard in general. Also, a view distance of 20 cells is generally considered very high. That being said, having a more modern computer doesn't seem to benefit the Morrowind engine very much.

Probably not, to be honest, as Morrowind is notoriously badly optomised. You're going to get framerate drops in certain places, pretty much no matter what you do.

That said, with a nice computer and well-chosen MGE settings, you can usually run 40-60 fps in most places.

20 Cells is really long. I usually run no more than 6 or so and I have a fairly decent computer.
