i don't care how much stuff there is to do in your game if none of it is fun or interesting

lore is all well and good, but again, if the game isn't fun to play...

Well the overwhelming majority of opinions, from critics or regular players, is that the game is fun. Main criticism was from a melee system that needed improvement and a large amount of glitches. Obviously that opinion means little to you if you didn't enjoy it yourself, but it's clear that quite a few people are just letting their opinions be swayed by popular complaints and what I suppose would be the reverse of rose-tinted glasses: focusing solely on negatives and ignoring everything they enjoyed.

"Width of an ocean with the depth of a puddle" was a pretty common saying at release outside of the three communities I mentioned above.
That analogy makes me moist.

The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.

I'm not even sure what the "depth of a puddle" is referring to.
Referring to, for example, taking out the create your own magic that was in Oblivion. Along with a vast other number of things they removed from Oblivion.

hundreds of quests followed by procedurally generated quests
"Hello, I am here to tell you that these robbers came in and got my stuff. They beat me, tortured me, and then stole it my goods. Let me tell you what happened to my daughter. She was walking back home, when she saw them running. Off towards the south.

*insert more explaining*

Anyway, I want you to go fetch this for me."

It boils down to go here, get item/kill people, picture match, come back. Nothing dymanic about that.

I don't even care if we're arguing anymore.

That UBW thing was enough to make me happy, give or take a few word adjustments.

Iron Daggers are quite nostalgic for me, when they patched that out it was such a pity. Instead it became all about the gold ring spam instead lol. So many exploits in that game, it was quite funny <.<

a ridiculously detailed
Even on PC the game looks this empty. There are areas that have detail but the developers were lazy when they did the rest of it. They didn't do a RockStar by making the PC version living up to it. The PC version looks just like the console version.

content-filled
I wouldn't say it's content filled when they remove content and downgrade magic...

. I'm not even sure what the "depth of a puddle" is referring to.
Here's a list I did sometime ago for depth.

Alduin is the main villain in the game who has the nickname "World Eater" the guy does jack shit besides destroying one town in the game. Besides the two fights you don't encounter him anymore and he doesn't pop up again. You don't come across any destruction besides that one town caused by him.

The guilds have the exact same story setup. You join, something happens and you become the leader of it. There are no choices or multiple endings for them. They are all liner as fuck.

There are no penalties in the game. Even though my character sucks at magic I can still become leader of that magic school.

The civil war quest line is pointless. It doesn't matter which side you choose nothing happens besides NPC model changes. What makes it even more pathetic is that it's not even finished. At those camps you can't kill a NPC at them because they are story based. So because of that there was going to be something that involved them.i

For the fetch this quests you have no other endings for them. I get sent to find a sword and I get paid to give it to them. I don't have the option of keeping the item and forcing the person to give me the money or item.

The followers you can have might as well be all the same model. There is hardly any back story to them. In New Veges each follower has a unique back story and quest line for them. In Skyrim you see none gf that for them. It's just a very basic back story.

Even though this is supposed to be a fantasy game the things you see in it are things you would see in real life. Lets take a look at Morrowind. The buildings and the monster/animal life in the game look very fantasy. Skyrim on the other hand has things like wolfs, deer foxes, rabbits and generic castles. Sure there are fantasy life and buildings in the game but the game still doesn't have the same fantasy theme that Morrowind has. That game did it a lot better. Hell in Lord of The Rings you see people ridding on giant wolves, pigs and in Shadow of Mordor those lions and that troll. Meanwhile in boring Skyrim you just have horses. The game is very very lazy when it comes to fantasy things.

Even though you see beast races, Orcs and Elf's in the game you don't see any kids for them. All you see are human kids.

Fallout 3 was good, Skyrim still sets a benchmark for modern games, and Fallout 4 looks to be packed with an obscene amount of content. I'm getting pretty sick of these mopey threads talking about how shitty Fallout 3 was supposed to be, how boring Skyrim is (hint: if you're bored in Skyrim, you're a boring fucking person and there's no fixing that), and how supposedly bad Fallout 4 will be.

I can't tell if this is bait or not.
Get over this circlejerk of superiority over taste in fucking video games, man.

More like it reads exactly like the bait copypasta you'll find on /v/ so I honestly couldn't tell.

Unless you mod the hell out of the game what is there to do once you get over one hundred hours in the base game? It's not an opinion that the game is depthless, the base game world is empty, the quests are linear and you have to try to role play. If someone is bored of Skyrim it's not due to them being a boring person, it's due to Bethesda putting a shitty effort into the game. It's not hard to get bored of a game when all the guild quest lines are the same exact linear setup...

The amount of losers in this thread defending Skyrim and Fallout 3 has given me cancer.
You're the faggots killing the WRPG genre.
Thanks.
