And do you think I should play Morrowind or Skyrim after Oblivion (please don't tell me the premise of my question is wrong and that I shouldn't even continue Oblivion).
Morrowind had the worst combat system and graphics of the three, but there was a lot more you can do in terms of skills and factions. Depends on what kind of gamer you are.

What you'll experience in Morrowind that takes it to a higher level than Oblivion are a bigger/better skill system, better story, and a more beautiful part of the world with more variety. There are SO many different people and factions residing in Morrowind, and the variety of the dungeons is huge. Oblivion felt monotonous.

Morrowing also didn't have level scaling. Level scaling in Oblivion kind of ruined the game for me. In Morrowind you could go back and decimate easy areas, or run into a cave and get DEADED because you were too weak. There was more of a surprise element and fun factor. I remember there being a cave that looked like a normal bandit hideout that eventually turned into an entrance to a daedric ruin with powerful monsters. In Oblivion you would know the gear everyone would be wearing and what kind of loot you would find.

I don't think order really matters. I played them in the order that they came out. I would check Morrowind out after Oblivion. Maybe wait on them to release (or even announce) a Skyrim game of the year edition with expansions included like they did for the last 2 games.
