With how far I've come in The Elder Scrolls, I don't think I need to play Morrowind anyway since everything I really want/need to know can be derived from the wiki. Plus, I think I'd just find it outdated.
Buuuuut then again, that didn't stop me from trying Daggerfall, so who knows?
Morrowind is kinda different game than Skyrim or even Oblivion. It is more slow paced game, don't expect much action here (and note that you are not even able to stand against guards in the early game). It is outdated, sure, but due to the lack of voice acting, everything is written down, so NPCs have a lot to say about, unlike the Ob/Sky ones.
I liked Morrowind for one thing: Vvardenfell is a way different and unique biome than rest of the Tamriel, recalling most of the classic fantasy worlds (vide: Skyrim and Cyrodiil).
Oh, and due to the forementioned lack of voice acting, Morrowind is way better in adding additional quest, because in Oblivion and Skyrim, NPCs were just dumb and have not spoken even a letter, what annoys me, when I modded Oblivion. :| Morrowind is way better, when it comes to the new quests, adventures or even, if you are patient enough, you can make a whole new game without "hiring" voice actors (someone even managed to copy step by spet Gothic II's map into Morrowind).
