The game is fun, as all Elder Scrolls games I played are (Morrowind and onward. Never played Daggerfall or Arena), but after a certain point, you become a titan and there is no challenge.

Actually the only thing I really didn't like about Skyrim was, shockingly, its lack of freedom of choice. Missions are given to you whether you like it or not, and many of them have just one solution. It utterly ruins the role-playing aspect, requiring me to reload saves just to make sure I didn't receive the mission.

For instance, there was a Daedra hunter who requested my help in Markarth. It turns out that it was a trick by a powerful Daedric lord, who requested my help in torturing an enemy of his. There is literally no way to finish this quest without committing murder somehow or another and it is really annoying when role-playing a good character.

There was an opportunity to say no to the Daedric Lord, but it accomplished nothing, the mission was still in your journal and uncompleted. So the only way for a good character to resolve this mission is to not get it at all, meaning I had to avoid talking to that person. Now this wouldn't be a problem if he didn't automatically rope me into a conversation as I so much as neared him.

This is only one instance out of many. How about when I had to either work with or assassinate the leader of the Forsworn? Or when I had to kill a defenseless old lady to stop the Dark Brotherhood?
