Should I ? Options

I don't know if it's a good idea to bring this up, but here it is. Should I play Morrowind before I play Oblivion ?
I have already started Oblivion but havn't gotten too far yet. I had not played any Elder Scroll game before, so I was wondering if I would be better off playing Morrowind to get a feel of the history or story lines before I got into Oblivion. I have read so many posts by people that have played previous Elder Scroll games and it seems that they have such a good grasp of the game before they start on Oblivion. I know this is all subject to personal opinion but I would like to hear what you experienced Elder Scroll players think. What say ya ?

The storyes are not conected.
But i strongly advise playing Morrowind because it's such a good game...Better that Oblivion IMO.The graphics can be a litte out-dated,but there are some really good texture packs that can make the game feeling much better.Ultimate Texture packs are really good for example.

Morrowind has more quests,guilds,fantasy,its superior in so many ways.
Absence of voice-acting can be a problem though.Sometimes you can get the feeling you are in a ''dead'' world where nothing happens,if you don't trigger it.The game can be frustrating sometimes,but the next time you turn on the game it becomes intresting.I got that feeling from probably playing too much.

Oh yeah.and get the expansions.I'm sure you won't be disapointed.....Both Trubunal and Bloodmoon are even more intresting than the original game (IMO).

Mournhold! City of Light! City of Magic!
And you will be absolutly charmed with Solstheim (Bloodmoon).Nord villages are charming,East Empire Company quests,and offcourse the Bloodmoon Main Quest.You can become a werewolf i it.

So i say go for it!
Playing Morrowind never hurt anybody!
