I'd rather them focus on the world, environments, people, etc. rather than story. Yes i'd like the story to make sense and be good, but i also want to maybe take the chance and sorta create my own character. Is my character an Argonian assassin sent to kill a king, but get entangled in the Dragon conflict? Or is it something else? That's what i like about open world games, and, while story is good, having enough to make your own is a lot better IMO
