Should I play Morrowind or Daggerfall?

At least one of them.
I've only played Daggerfall for like 2 hours, and in those two hours I got the feeling it was quite atmospheric. Can't say much more than that.
Morrowind however I've played for many hours and is probably the most loreheavy and fun TES in it's own way. At least in my opinion.

Daggerfall is mainly about dungeon crawl, has some dumb-but-not-terrible politics as well, and a few radiant side quests.
Exploration in morrowind is more fun. The setting and lores are almost alien compared to daggerfall's kinda normal fantasy world, thus are more interesing to most.

Don't get those - get the version of Daggerfall from here http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Files
It's more likely to work on modern PCs.
As to seriously answer your question for once: the question as to which game you'll enjoy the most is really the question of whether you're an atmosphere and settingfag or just like HUMONGOUS dungeon crawls in excellently designed randomly generated dungeons. DF's dungeons are almost all randomly generated and its RMG has never been surpassed in neither scope nor sophistication.
Morrowind is the better game due to its setting, atmosphere and spectacular soundtrack, IMO, but the freedom of Daggerfall was about 20 years ahead of its time and it remains eminently playable even today.
TLDR: get both.

What? Daggerfall's random dungeons are a spaghetti mess and nigh impossible to navigate withou teleportation cheats. Good luck finding that quest item you have to retrieve in some random submerged hole in the middle of nowhere. Also, the automap sucks.

Let's flash forward to the future.
He'll play Daggerfall for a couple days before he quits, because Daggerfall is a fucking goof. Then he'll play Morrowind for much longer until the enemies getting stuck on the terrain starts to really get under his skin. At that point, he'll play Farmville.

You both are right. Morrowind is shit, but so are Sjukob's posts.

TES has always been the pinnacle of "Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" gameplay. Morrowind seems to be preferred as it perhaps treads the line between quality and quantity the best - Arena and Daggerfall tend to have a whole lot of nothing, whereas Oblivion and Skyrim feel too small without actually adding much depth. They're the "Wide as a puddle, deep as a puddle" variety. Daggerfall is my personal favourite, for a million different reasons I can't really explain. At the end of the day, TES games have always seemed to be more about telling your own story than experiencing someone else's, and IMHO Daggerfall is the game that's the best for that.
Still, the advantage the later games have is moddability. Not sure if Skyrim's there yet, but I know at least Morrowind has got some mods that make it an incredible experience, and Oblivion's not too shabby, either.

Morrowind. With some modding, you've got quite the game.
