It seems like that's a pretty common theme in this game - I think it's just meant to be depressing. Skyrim is such a harsh environment, even without the presence of things such as the Dark Brotherhood, Vampires, Werewolves, Dragons, and monsters. I think people just don't get very excited.
The entire theme of the game is fairly bleak, depressing, and dark. Just think of how many references there are to the darker side of Humanity. I've put less time into this game than many of the people on this forum, but off the top of my head I can think of two women who talk about how they were sixually abused, two separate cases of child abuse(one which includes a large number of children), a man who takes part of a plot to burn his home to the ground with his wife and children inside, assault, abuse, and murder of the mentally handicapped, cannibalism, corrupt officials, and much, much more.
You're feeling empty because you want something positive, when this game is clearly embracing the negative side of humanity.
