I just decided to actually do the main quest, and apart from a couple of weeks on New Vegas Ultimate, that's six months of my precious limited gaming time filled with doing all the little things. I have done the Bards, the College of Winterhold, and made a throwaway character to do the Companions, but have yet to do the Thieves', Brotherhood, most of the main quest or start the civil war. Haven't been bored yet.
And while it may not be tightly scripted, you are free to do pretty much anything your own way. So, first time going up to High Hrothgar, for this character answering the call, I decided not to kill anything unless necessary, wore a black hooded robe of restoration and a pair of plain boots, and got up with one word of Kyne's Peace and dual cast Calm. So different from going up in troll killing mode. So that's what I love, the ability to do all these things, however you want.
