Anybody else getting sick of Skyrim? I beat the main quest, did the Stormcloaks path, and a few guilds with my first character, but it didn't hold any interest after that. I made a Dumner battle-mage next but I got pretty bored. The guilds and quest lines were pretty uninteresting, and exploration got really dull. Fighting dragons every time I went outside got incredibly tedious. Hopefully mods will revive the game for me. And to be fare to Bethesda, I probably got 30 or 40 hours of fun out of the game, a lot more than most modern games.
I'm playing Morrowind again as a Breton pure mage and having a load of fun.
I've enjoyed every single part of TES series to a high degree. Personally, skyrim has met my expectations and then some. Which I guess isn't saying much with the types of games that come out anymore, but I had high expectations for it. I had loads of fun with Oblivion and never even touched the main quest past playing around in Kvatch, and in Skyrim I've been much the same and have played 4 different characters already up to level 30ish and finished the main quest.. once.
I think it's loads of fun for the setting it's in. I also feel like adventuring is more.. dynamic now. I've got more from Skyrim than Oblivion already. I'd adventure, sure, but the same old forest with some wolves occasionally was boring. Caving and exploring ruins/forts was fun, for money and killing new enemies, but now I have the drive not only for money but for completing loads of side quests and finding words of power. I've done all the guild quests too.
The main quest had an interesting story and it felt more indepth to me, a lot have said the Brotherhood was disappointing, but I'm fairly sure thats because they were expecting it to be exactly like how it was in Oblivion.. instead of nearly destroyed. I didn't play through the Thieves guild in Oblivion, but I enjoyed it in Skyrim... up until the only way to progress was to do a crap load of tedious quests to become Guild Leader. The companions was fun, if not too short, and I can pretty much say the exact same about the College quests. The bards college though... don't even get me started. I did the entire questline by accident when I cleared out an entire ruin and found some book about Olaf and Numinex and what have you. I turned it in to the Bards college, talked to the Jarl and then.... I was done. A member, thats it. No more. Wtf.
Civil war quests were fun if only because you got to just murder loads of baddies. Though the same old 'Take X fort' quests gets to be annoying.
But the quests you find around the game world out of nowhere, or while perusing through cities or what have you seem well paced and interesting enough.
And with different playstyles and ways to approach situations, it makes it have more replayability. Plus I felt that Skyrim gave me a large berth for my imagination. I've always been fascinated with Viking lore and such, and have always played as a viking type Nord (as my first character, naturally), so Skyrim entices my imagination very well.
TL;DR
Skyrim is pretty cool game. eh fights dragon and doesnt afraid of anything.
