You know, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing Skyrim, but this game get's way to much wrong in terms of plot.

Most of my issues though involve spoiling important bits of the main plot.

(SPOILER)
My first problem involves why the dragons are here.

The moment you start looking into it during the story, it does good at setting up the different groups involved thinking it's the other, blame being cast towards Ulfric, and them doing a pretty good job at building suspense.

And then next mission you find out, 'Oh, it was some dude back in the day sending him here unintentionally.' making the previous bit of intrigue build up pointless. Sure, it helps to set up the Thalmor as conniving douches, but they are largely irrelevant to the Dragons anyway.

And on a not of things being irrelevant, the entirle Skyrim Civil war going on is just a side plot. Hell, the only relevance to the dragons it has is you have to say 'hay guys, can you stop being dicks for a second while I take care of the dragons', 'Oh sure, but first we need to trade fortresses for our unrelated conflict, is that fine' 'oh whatever, Imma catch a dragon now, bye.'

Another thing that the ball was dropped on huge was the SHouts themselves. I'm paraphrasing, but 'To learn a thu'um is to take it into yourself, it's very meaning becomes part of you. We Dragons are incapable of learning Dragonrend due to it's meaning being an intense hatred of Dragons'. Amazing concept, however you learn Dragon Rend and effectively nothing happens outside of being able to ground dragons.

The entire bad ass concept of the Shouts is lost entirely due to there lack of effect on your character.

And worse off I beat Alduin and they just kind of leave it at that. Beating the smurfing world eater left no satisfaction what so ever.

Needless to say, I'm happy I didn't pay for this.
