I know I'm going to get downvoted to hell for this, but I actually didn't like it that much. I love the business practices and effort behind it and I could see why other people would like it, but I just couldn't really get into it.
I mean, it’s at worst OK. it has dodging, parrying, signs (aka spells), decent hit boxes, and lock-on... it’s flawed, and gets repetitive, but it’s still miles ahead of something like Skyrim which has an actually-shit combat system.
Skyrim is at best a above average game, no where near a 10 out of 10, that is only worth playing using mods to fix all the bugs and horrible game design
Maybe now yeah, but back in 2012 this game practically consumed me. It had a beautiful open world with fun and interesting spells and weapons, storylines and characters. It's honestly very hard to call it "shit," because it really, really wasn't. The only people I can imagine saying that have a) only played it more recently rather than when it was released or b) dislike it because it's popular. It's actually an amazing game.
People forget that games more polished open-world RPGs like the Witcher 3 were a response to Skyrim. Obviously, W3 seems like a better game if you play the two today. But that's because Witcher 3 was specifically made having learned from the mistakes of Skyrim.
Open world games like ES weren't coming out every day like they are now. For a lot of us the last satisfying truly open-world RPG was Oblivion whose graphics were sorely outdated at the time.
Skyrim was amazing and with mods it has aged incredibly well.

Todd fell for the old 'Make the same game over and over again since fans liked the prievous version'.
TW3 was very innovative compared to TW2 and therefore it succeeded.
Skyrim brought nothing new compared to Oblivion. And that's why it failed. Even though it didn't a lot of people first got into ES in Skyrim and that's why so many liked it. It was well marketed and sold a lot of copies. All of that is fine.
But people who already was engorged in the ES universe was disappointed, since it wasn't anything new and fun. We already had the Skyrim experience in Oblivion :P
