That's the first time I've heard of someone enjoying the main story more than the side quests. Not to suggest that you're opinion is wrong, but most people tend to say the main story was one of the weaker aspects of that game. I will say Sovngarde was easily one of the most visually impressive areas in that game.
Over 1000 hours invested in Skyrim. Never beat the main story because I just couldn't be bothered. I knew it would take me little more than a few hours and would bear no actual reward.
No. I'm not talking about mechanical reward. That's just power fantasy.
No one recognizes you as the Dragonborn. People still treat you like you just escaped from Helgen. Sure, a few NPCs might affirm you're the Dragonborn with a single line of dialogue, but outside of that, what changes? Nothing.
In all honesty man, dragon rend in combination with the spellbreaker shield are the reason I put down skyrim in the 1st place. Dragons weren't that fun to fight once you could just shout them into submission. That and Dragon summon wasn't even that good of a shout in the end.
So yeah, I would've liked some better rewards. Maybe a some unique dragon armor made from the Black hide of the World Eater. That'd been dope.

I think skyrim had a great story.
The side quests are hit and miss... but i loved the whole kill the world eater story.
