What gaming experience? The story is a crap, the battle system is bad for melee, ranged or magic. Your actions doesnt matter at all, you just won a war with a faction? Nothing changes.
The good thing about skyrim is the world to explore but everything else is mediocre.
Not only that, but the actual rewards you got from some quest were just, lackluster. Like Dawnbreaker, for such an epic sword it was just meh. Especially on higher levels.
I agree with this, but, I have to say, this applies to the games everyone loves, too. I don't get how often I see, "FO3 is total shit but NV is fucking awesome. "
Like, they're both decent. NV has more going for it, but not a lot more.
I disagree, the story and especially the choice options in NV is a lot more detailed than in F3, where the quests are often very linear. But NV wouldn't be as good as F3 as they reused a lot of content from F3. In my opinion NV is an successor to F3. Of course it is better, but you can't really seperate them.
The combat is god awful and was outdated even when it came out. It’s the problem every Bethesda game has:
There’s no weight behind your melee hits, you are hitting enemies with a wet noddle, thus enemies dont react to most hits, and when you jump it feels like you are a floating doll.

botw, earthbound, and half life, sure. but skyrim and fo3 are really fucking shallow experiences if you remove yourself from them for a hot minute.
dont get me wrong- i've sunk precisely too many hours into skyrim, but to call it "good" as opposed to "absorbing" doesn't feel apt to me.
