That sucks. I'm about 20 hours in (almost completely sidequests, I think I'm still in the second main storyline quest) and loving it, but that's how I've always played Bethesda games. I go and make my own fun as soon as possible.

Not every game's for everyone though, and a good rule is to wait a month or so on single player games so you can see what reviewers who align with your taste think.
