Come at me bro.
The character dialogues were limited, the controls off-putting, the combat system restricted and slow, it was smothered with bugs, you never felt like the champion that you were portraited as, dragons were too easy to be the previous conquerors of a world and the impending doom of the current, there was solely the illusion of power to change and not the power itself in your hands, the AI was bland, the criminal path was dysfunctional and there was much content with little reward.
The game was fun, when it comes to the things any of those games are fun. A unique adventure system, a vast world with a lot of content, an incredible leveling system with vendors and items to compare, but it is just not that refreshing a game for one who wants more out of her gaming than running through cave after cave with little more challenge than what an average bandit pose. Granted, the game is clearly designed around the adventure over the challenge, so I suppose I can not really give much criticism about that.
For me, the game was fun the first time, with the first character. That's it. It was too easy to become powerful and too hard to find the feeling of actually roleplaying. Your character did not seem to have any form of identity, aside from being Dragonborn. You could not make the world view you in a certain way, you could never develop a personality that made your character feel alive, and should you actually manage to develop character in your character, you are not the slightest bit rewarded for it, or punished.
Now don't go thinking I think the game is bad per-se. I just can not give it a high score in scale, because it is not the kind of game that I want. While it has aspects that would make it an amazing roleplay, I just can not muster saying it is a good roleplaying game. It is a good game, in that work has been put into the things about it that are good, but that's it.
5/10 personal score.
What sort of character dialogues are you comparing it to though? As for the combat system, its pretty much an overhaul of oblivion but again, what are you comparing it to? For its genre and game style its the best I have seen although I agree on the bugs and how Dragons were far too easy. However, the atmosphere and the world itself blows any other out of the water.
Also you can make the world view you differently in some respects, depending on what your doing and what quest lines you have done people talk about or make comments on your accomplishments in the companions or the mage college, or in certain battles you may have been in. I would say 7 or 8 out of 10 myself and in a few months when mods change certain things and patches fix bugs it could be an easy 9/10.
As for 5/10, I want a piece of the game you seem to be comparing it to.
