I think the elder scrolls world is far too happy a place to be compared to that of AGOT.

Faction based plots have been around alot longer then GRRM has been writing books. He just happens to have used that and be wildy successful. Faction based stories mirror the real world, particularly that of our medieval heritage. Unfortunately most pieces of work break it down into black and white terms, when the real beauty of it all lies within the grey areas.

Honestly if we could get a main quest with half the depth of his works then maybe that would be something.

ESO= Bad guys take throne, Good guys(relative term) want it back. You can boil it down alot farther but I hope that there is more. How many people didnt finish the main quest in Skyrim or Oblivion, it was the story that wasnt forced upon you that I really enjoyed.
