There's a lot of interesting world building and history to draw upon, it's just a shame Bethesda doesn't do that.
You're never really presented with moral choices. The story never really has you think about things. There's a tonne of lore books and tapes and what have yous that spill a rich tapestry of stories at you, but you're never really shown any of it. I've had fun with Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, and to a lesser extent Fallout 4, but at this point I'm kind of tired of it. They're all the same game. They have the same floaty combat. The same lacklustre storytelling. The same awkward "talk at you" conversations.
Been there, done that.
