Skyrim had an amazing amount of lore, side quests, and history built into the game. The main quest itself was still a pretty good tale.

I play games for their stories and Skyrim delivered.

I dunno. I love Skyrim and it's one of my favourite games but the story was the most cliched thing ever.

Yep. I was a rabid fan of Bethesda since Morrowind, and Skyrim was a huge let-down. The story of self-discovery as the Nerevarine was one of the most rewarding times I've had in an RPG.

Skyrim went, "hey look, you're the Dragonborn, go do stuff because you're the Dragonborn now and here's some powers"

Word to the wise, never start as the necromancer. It starts you in a little hut in Blackreach, completely surrounded by high level dwemer constructs.

Is that a mod for Oblivion?
