The world of Elder Scrolls is boring as ****. No really it is. It is meticulously detailed in so many aspects, but the detail is inherently shallow. There is no real... engagement. Like great there's a bunch of elf literature that I can read (but won't because I don't give a ****), and look here's a big ****ing map with millions of dungeons which are basically the same and aren't really that fun.
The combat is eh.
The main stories are just eh, if I'm not gonna care about the main story, I'm not gonna care about the world much.
It has stupid **** like omniscient guards that basically stop you from being able to live a little.
The voice acting is flat, repetitive, and annoying.
There is literally nothing to care about in the game, it is corny faux epic and just reeks of lack of imagination. It basically takes Tolkien, adds some unimaginative and boring stories with crappy acting to boot, gives you combat that is even less engaging, and just puts some amazing Jeremy Soule music over it to make it seem worthwhile.
**** that ****.
