I don't get it. I don't understand the fascination. I've tried to play skyrim like 4 times over the years and each time I've gotten a little bit further before giving up. This time I played for about 6 hours. That's about 3 more than my last attempt. And I still don't get it. It's so fucking boring. The world is boring, the combat is boring, the storytelling makes me want to cave my skull in with a rock. Nothing is remotely interesting; I wander into a slightly cool looking enemy base and it's just, an enemy base. With some enemies in it. I hit 'em and that's it, loot the corpses and on with my day. I want some world building, some magic spice, something, anything. There's been like one cave so far that gave me that feeling. 1! In 6 hours! Fallout 4 has it's problems but at least it's brimming with character. I feel like I'm exploring a world, not a fucking gmod map.

Yeah, pretty much. It took me a good while before I started to "get' Skyrim, and that's I had installed mods that make the combat slightly more bearable. Doesn't change the storytelling or what you described with the world, but it makes the game slightly more just whatever. I don't get it, either. I guess you just had to be there to understand it.
