I just frankly don't like the gameplay mechanic overhaul. Level progression, specifically, which was so much better in Skyrim. But there are other additions that aren't necessarily bad, just not things I like in a game. And the rest of the game is fine. Decent story, exploration, etc.

A really uneven game. While the Rhalata and the final arc of the main questline are brilliant, a lot of the world you explore is bland as hell and most of the side quests are lame garbage. The voice acting runs the gamut between fantastic to godawful, the combat can sometimes be mildly enjoyable but is usually insufferable or boring, dialog options suck, the game has a lot of technical issues, etc. But despite all of that, the poignant elements made this game worth playing for me.

The best thing to come out of Skyrim.
