Skyrim has a lot of content, but is it mostly interesting or mostly bland?

I've been pondering this. I like the main quest, the daedric quests and the Eldergleam quest; as well as the dragon lich instances; and the locations of Hag's End and the Rift. These have a lot of flavour.

I don't know if there's enough else, though. There's a lot of filler.

Tell me what I'm missing. What are your favourite quests, instances and locations?

[ Great. I screwed up my heading. ]

Skyrim is the very definition of filler content.


My favorite town is Solitude, my favorite quest is A Night to Remember, favorite instance is the peace negotiation.

favourite location: anywhere green with waterfalls

Yeah, I like waterfalls too. Lived in Suburban Chicago all my life. No mountains, no waterfalls, no roaring rivers. Just flat land, a few ponds or creeks here and there. Took a family trip to Alaska a few years ago, and it was beautiful.

I like Markarth, though I do kind of like Riften's two layer setup on the water.

This really should be in the Spoiler section.

This one prefers the wilds of Skyrim to the bustle of the cities, there are many paths but this one prefers to stay off them!
