Skyrim was a major let down

I want to start off by saying (before everyone lynches me) that I have been playing these types of games since Ultima and still have Ultima Underworld loaded on an old comp. I have played all the King's Quest games and bought the original Xbox solely for Morrowind.

With that said, after playing and beating Skyrim, I am majorly let down.

The game is very heavy on dungeons, caves, etc but the world does not even have enough people in it to support one city. Not one city felt realistic in real-world terms.

I think there may be a total of 250 houses, buildings, and people in the entire game that yu can interact with. This is suppose to be a whole country afterall.

I found myself towards the end of the game feeling that it was just one big dungeon crawel and nothing else.

very let down.

NEO likes to go into threads where a discussion on a topic is going on and put his opinion in a separate thread, since it is far more important than everyone else's opinion.

I give bassmanbruno a hard time for his narcissism, but at least he doesn't do this kind of attention whoring. We get it, NEO, you own a few taco bells and a KFC. You're a big shot.

I'm pretty sure Skyrim is supposed to feel more desolate than Morrowind and Oblivion. It's the cold, harsh wasteland of the continent.

What kind of gripe is this? I mean, you can essentially level it against every game. Probably comes down to the current tech. Whining about dungeon crawling in a fantasy RPG? What is this?

You clearly misunderstand, Im not rooting for Bama to win, I just think there is a 1,000/1 chance UT wins. If Bama wins, I dont have to see you here anymore, if UT win, I get to enjoy a great victory and rub it in the face of every bammer around me at all times...................what the hell does that have to do with you being an elitist?
