The blueprint for many open world games that came after it. Unfortunately most of the blueprint is bland, riddled with pointless fetch quests and forgettable side stories.

The main story is poor, something that's common to other Elder Scrolls titles - no surprise there, but the writing this time around felt especially bad with lots of questionable decisions.

The available factions for you to join are not very memorable and it's especially ridiculous how you can just waltz in and become the leader in each of them with absolutely no consequence on the world.

However this is a fun game to boot up once in a while forcing yourself not to build yet another archer/mage hybrid character.
