Yeah, Skyrim was my first elder scrolls game, but I went back to Oblivion and saw just how much Skyrim was lacking in creativity compared to previous entries. My prime example is the guilds, specifically Dark Brotherhood and Thieve's Guild. The final heist for the TG is super fun, one of my favorite gaming moments ever. The plot twist of the Dark Brotherhood was a total surprise to me, and Whodunnit is an amazing quest. Mage's guild is kind of annoying but being able to make spells makes up for it. While in Skyrim, I wasn't really wowed by a single guild questline. College of Winterhold sucks, Companions were alright but becoming a werewolf is pretty underwhelming, Dark Brotherhood sees you assassinating an emperor but makes the mission way too basic to give it any real scale, and don't even get me started on the bullshit that is Thieve's Guild.
I still love Skyrim, I just wish they were more creative since it's all they've released the past 13 years.
