Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

tbf this is pretty par for the course with Bethesda, the writing just isn't good. The people that wrote Morrowind and most of Oblivion left half way through Oblivion, from what I remember Todd Howard did not get along with the writers at all.

Everything ever since has been just, well it's been there. Todd is more interested in spectacle and exploration than writing. And unfortunately that's been incredibly successful for him
