I liked the main story in Morrowind better than Oblivion's, and the political struggles between various factions were pretty interesting, especially for a video game.
I think if anyone plays Oblivion first, Morrowind will just bore them. I played Morrowind first, and although it has some annoying aspects, the game stuck with me after I had beaten it. After I beat Oblivion, I basically forgot about it. Maybe it's because you're a reincarnation of a demigod in Morrowind that I became more attached to the game.
Although walking around was a pain in the ass at times in Morrowind, I think it's a huge reason why I was more immersed in it. I used the teleport spell a lot, but just exploring every nook and cranny of the game was kind of fun, even if it was a little tedious.
Eventually I cheated in Morrowind and boosted my speed and strength through the roof, so I could run like 30mph and get any where pretty fast. And having around 2,000 strength allowed me to annihilate most enemies in one or two hits, which was fun as hell.
I wish Oblivion had Morrowind's enchantment system. Enchanted Weapons recharged over time if you didn't use them, so I would carry two powerful axes, and when one was out of juice, I'd switch to my other one while it recharged.
If you merged the best things about both games into one game, you'd have one of the best video game experiences ever.
