I actually realized this when playing other games and comparing them to Bethesda games.
Compared to other games I've enjoyed, Bethesda game narratives aren't good (Metro, STALKER), their combat is lackluster (Dragon's Dogma), and they are just unpolished and buggy as all hell (compared to... most games).
The only thing going for them is their vast world.... Except most of it is cut-and-paste. Samey areas with samey structures (sometimes exactly the same!). Robotic interactions with NPCs... It's an illusion that wears thin rather quickly for me.
Honestly, their games aren't so different from yearly releases like COD. More of the same, over and over again. Except they refuse to do the bare minimum and fix issues that should have been fixed after, ESIV: Oblivion...
I've played through Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and NV... And overall I'm feeling like they don't even try to improve the quality of their games at all.
