This game is my ultimate example of how you can believe a game is fun and separately believe it is bad. I'll start with my positive, that being that there's nothing quite like simply walking around the open world from place to place and tackling whatever you happen to come across.
That being said
This game's world is unbelievably dull. Any city the game urges you to stay in past the initial awe of seeing it for the first time quickly becomes a chore to traverse. It becomes easier when you have a quest to do but so many of those are either fight some guys, get an item, or fight some guys to get an item from them that those eventually become a chore as well.
Some individual quests have charm to them usually because of the one in a million chance of one of the characters having charm but the main quest is boring as sin and almost entirely not worth doing unless you want some of the shouts unlocked along the way. Legitimately if you held a gun to my head and asked me to name three Skyrim characters I would be unable to.
It is legitimately a blessing that Bethesda managed to create the community that it did because modding is the thing that truly saves it. Most quest mods I've found feel like they have been made with ten times the passion of any part of this story.
That being said, I am well aware that I shall lose many more nights to this game. If you want to wander around and sometimes fight dragons, play this game. If you want a game with a similar vibe but a great story, play The Forgotten City
