I don't get it either you are not alone I played fallout 3 got out of a underground safe talked to a bunch of people and quit felt like a bad 80s movie but not a good bad 80s movie lol. People love walking and talking in games and looking for things I can not stand it , that said I did not like Skyrim either just too much work and sub menu work .
Never did finish the last game played about a hour seems ok but I wont buy the new game until I finish the old should get around to it in a year or two.
Found this out day one I place no value on my online life lol wanted to explore the maps from all angles and was kicked. Did the same in the beta alot so I feel I may have contributed to this in a big way and they sorted me right out.
