I do long for part of what you miss in the game--more recognition for your deeds. The Dragonborn definitely does not get enough respect as he/she amasses more and greater deeds. The rest of it, investing in and becoming a part of a community does not matter so much to me as I am a loner. There are people who love people and people who like--who MUST--be alone most of the time, for people drain them. That is who I am. So wandering the countryside alone, never staying in one spot for long--does not bother me. It energizes me. After a great battle or wicked assassination or terrific heist--I'm perfectly happy to come home to an empty house and sleep or stop in an inn, listen to a few tunes and eat an apple pie and move on. There are many times when after a particularly grueling quest which has caused me to question my values and motives that I have literally walked home, covered in blood and just sat, staring at the fire and thinking. I get caught up in the mythos of the game. I found this true after I killed Alduin, after the conclusion of the civil war and after killing Miraak--especially since I caused the death of the old shaman in the process.

Having said that, I do wish for more involved interaction with NPC's and hope that some day games will develop to that point. It's coming--it has too--the tech is developing quickly and gamers are becoming more sophisticated. Someday we will play virtual reality games and addiction will become a serious problem. I know for myself, I am already addicted, to Skyrim.
