Skyrim and Oblivion has horrible writing by any standard. Kinda sad really because the ideas themselves aren't THAT bad. The execution however, with one liner sentences trying to tell some 'epic tale', poor pacing, no C&C, no sense of danger. But worst of all is the disconnect between the world and the shit people say in it.
"Huge civil war!" = 10 guys on each side
"Horrible dragon invasion of doom!!" = 2-3 city guards can beat most dragons
"Invasion of demons!!" = 2-4 level scaled critters
Ruins full of monsters 5 steps away from villages
There is more bandits than people living in cities
Layout of locations and roads often makes 0 logical sense, requiring ridiculous glitch hopping up mountains to avoid massive filler running expeditions
Zero enjoyment from exploration since there is only 4 enemy types and you meet them all in the tutorial
and all items are all level scaled
Shit all round.
