I have to say I like werewolves more, being able to transform into a wolf is just more interesting than becoming someone who needs to drink blood and gets sunburn easily. Now I can't speak for Oblivion as frankly, I never bothered becoming a vampire in that game, but it seems that the way it's handled in Morrowind makes it rather crippling, considering that most NPCs won't have anything to do with you, at least as a werewolf, you could interact normally with people during the day, you just needed to find a good hiding place before you transformed, which I would actually argue adds an interesting new challenge to the game, not to mention that when you actually transformed, this provided an experience that was quite different from normal gameplay. If in a future Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda can for some reason only put one of these in the game, I'd prefer werewolves, of course Bethesda would probably still go for vampires instead if they had to choose because they're easier to do, though maybe if the game is in fact set in Skyrim, an exception will be made, I know that werewolves aren't supposed to be limited to Skyrim, but having Skyrim without any lycanthropes in it would just feel weird, especially since I'd expect it to be a bit like Bloodmoon, except of course much larger and hopefully with more variety.
