I know most people don't agree, but I never could get into Skyrim. I'm not much of a gamer, so I don't play a ton of games. I ended up playing Skyrim for the first time in 2021.
The story seemed generic to me, the combat was clunky, and the missions were all repetitive. I stopped playing after about 50 hours.
I should add that I love Fallout though. I'm not sure why I like it and not Skyrim.
