I really hope Bethesda steps it up with the sidequests, so that it matches the quality of previous games including Oblivion (although the main quest is stupid and cliche, there were some really cool sidequests e.g. some of the quests in Dark Brotherhood), or some of the sidequests from Bloodmoon.
Let's face it, the mainquest will probably be a cliche vampire storyline (I hope I am proven wrong), so this is Bethesda's chance to win back a lot of people's hearts (especially after the failure that was the College of Winterhold IMO).
