What sucks about Skyrim is that the gameplay is terrible. The only combat style that is ok is archery. Yet, people love it still and it probably still sells pretty well. So it makes me believe that the next Elder Scrolls will still be lacking hard in that department. I hope that Starfield made them realize that their name isn't as great as it used to be. People are expecting more from AAA devs.

I'd agree the gameplay in Skyrim wasn't anything revolutionary for its time, I'd even say it was average but passable. Skyrim is much more about the immersion and atmosphere of the game world than the gameplay mechanics. It worked for lots of people so its hard to say it "sucked", but sure other games have better gameplay.
