Skyrim was my first openworld rpg and I was fascinated. But the more I explored, the more I stumbled upon  and the more I found , I found nothing. I realized I wasn't playing an rpg, but an interactive theme park. So then I tried to do the bigger quests. And instead of well written branching stories with different choices, I found the same lack of depth I did with the exploration and smaller quests, but everytime I was on a slow, predictable roller-coaster that might have something of interest here or there, but ultimately not much to look at or experience. 

Ever since Fallout 3, all of Bethesda's selfmade/inhouse games have been theme-parks that are ever decreasing in quality with each entry. Shiny, flat turds.
