It wasn't just a game you could play endlessly, but a game you took part in its creation.

I found the exploration delightful and fulfilling. I loved going to the far corners of Skyrim exploring the vast expanses available to the players. Honestly, it's hard to spend a ton of hours doing things in games the same way that Elder Scrolls allows players to do. And the game is in the details. Those little details. There's something to be said for creating land off in the distance that you can actually walk to, it's not a backdrop. Creating potions, magic, weapons and armour.
The quests were fun to complete, but they were secondary to everything the game allowed you to experience. I got more fulfillment from looking at scenery and sneaking into places I shouldn't be, then combat. But I must say, it's quite a blast to duel-wield a couple war axes.
Skyrim did what it set out to do despite its foibles and glitches, which for the most part were hilarious rather than game breaking. I can still remember my first time getting smashing 300 feet into the air by a giant. What a magical experience!
