I like Skyrim it does a lot of things well but cohesive consistency is not one of those things. Kill an old woman in an orphanage in Riffen and it gets talked about in Solitude. Kill the emperor and theres not even a whisper of it anywhere in the whole of Skyrim. Kill three thugs someone shouts Im getting out of here then they come back and say oh what happened here. Steal a chicken briast and its oi you thief and left at that. kill a chicken though and the whole place erupts in a see of violence. Neither the thiefs guild nor the DB seem to realise that dragons have returned or that theres a civil war raging. Both of these things should present on opportunity to make money for those guilds. Speaking of money gold is the curacy but a gold ingot is not even worth its weight in gold.
Your paradoxically both a nobody and a somebody at the same time. Nothing you do seems to any effect if you where just some guy/woman getting through life with a bit of adventuring then ok. However the game sets you up to be the dragonborn a mighty hero of legend here to save the world. Your supposed to save the world but no one seems to understand that it even needs saving or that your saving it.The result is game that yes is good in fact very good but it just doesnt jell together as a whole.
