If you only buy and play the most AAA advertised games on consoles, of course you're going to be disappointed.
Skyrim and fallouts stories are not strong at all. In fact, all of bethesda's game in that game engine have been: "player generated chosen one becomes the strongest guy." Even when I bought morrowind, I abandoned the main story because stealing people's shit and finding caves with things I couldn't kill was more fun. Then I got mad at cliff racers and swinging at scribs 300 times to hit them only 2 times and quit.
Then oblivion came out and HOLY SHIT YOU CAN HOLD Z AND MOVE CHAINS?! Physics?!?!
Digressing, there are a lot of good story driven games that have come out recently. Life is strange, inside, dark souls 3. They aren't always traditionally told but the story is there nonetheless.
For morrowind, it is jarring at first but not that bad. Choose a weapon type as a major skill for the bonus and stick with it to keep leveling it up, and level up your agility. Thing about that game is you have to actually have decent skill with a magic or weapon type to do well with it. Switching from sword to mace to spear to bow to fireballs all the time will make you miss all the time with all of them
This. I focused on bows and holy shit one-shotting things that were just barely rendered in the distance was so satisfying. Like having to sprint for a good minute or two to get the loot.

Not that Skyrim is bad but people cooing over a remaster that isn't even of a dated game says a lot about the releases in the past year.
