There are levels to this. Bethesda games are more sandboxy, more open ended than say, CD Project RPGs.
In Skyrim, if you don't like someone, you can go to their house at night and steal their clothes from their inventory. Next day you will find them roaming naked on streets.
Most people won't even attempt to do something like this. So, as per them, game is lacking in choice and consequences or story or whatever.
