While the engine doesn't help, I feel that Bethesda games have fallen into a trap of being bigger and bigger with every release which has resulted in the games being less and less focused. While the level of detail in a Fallout or Elder Scrolls game is amazing, I personally find I reach a saturation point and just stop caring about the game. With Skyrim, the only way I managed to complete the main quest line was by forcing myself to just speed-run it to the exclusion of doing nearly anything else. If I let myself wander off and start exploring or doing side quests, I just run out of steam at some point and never finish.
