It's just not my cup of tea. I've never liked games of that genre to begin with, so I don't know why I got Skyrim. I guess I just bought into the hype from the internet.
Thankfully, I only traded a game I had already finished for it, so I'm not out any money. I'll trade it to someone else for a game I'll actually want.
Skyrim is more of a sandbox game intended for role-playing than anything else, and so you'll have to be invested in it in order to enjoy it.
In my opinion the best role-playing game this generation is Dark Souls. The setting is unique and starts off very obscure even to fantasy enthusiasts, and the player has to draw out the story himself. In fact it's possible to finish the game without having any clue of what's actually going on, so in that sense it rewards exploring.
I like that Skyrim doesn't tell just one but many stories within its gameplay. There isn't just the main storyline involving the dragons and Alduin to engross yourself in but the different factions and even the smaller side quests as well.
Some people immerse themselves into it further than others by heavily role-playing their characters but it's fun that you don't have to follow one set path or story. You can make things up as you go along and make your own decisions.
Plus the mythology surrounding the whole Elder Scrolls universe is very fascinating. Especially the different races take on how Tamriel came to be and the different deities roles to the different people.
Iunno, that's just how I see it.
