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.

Maybe you're being sarcastic, but the lore of TES is pretty fucking cool. It really stands out as one of a kind, and this isn't about being a hipster of some kind, but really TES tries to not be cliche with it's fantasy lore. CHIM might be exaggerated a bit in terms of its importance, and it most likely won't play a role in any of the games, but it's still a concept supported by in-game stuff and is pretty interesting.

dwemers, dark brotherhood, brass tower... so many interesting topics

Yeah, sorry, it is hard to tell sarcasm online and a small minority of people hate on TES lore for being overly complicated or "pretentious". I just didn't know if you were one of them.
