Well its and TES game. So they cover the TES fandom. Its simpler than the older games. So they cover the casual market. Its was during the first half of the open world craze. So they rode/pioneered the bandwagon. It was real heavily marketed so people knew. Certainly no all time classic but its a decent spot to start playing TES, despite how much wrong it does for the series. its a fairly fun game but it shows its age already.
