Well, the mark of an Elder Scrolls game is that you get to decide what your character's personality is. It is a roleplaying game, after all. I personally would find it obnoxious to play as a character whose personality is already determined. And the protagonist needn't necessarily be a hero... *cough*Daedric Quests*cough*

However, I definitely agree with you as far as emotionally compelling NPCs and storylines go. When one of the best-known characters in the game is best known for her generic, snarky comments, you know you've done wrong. Characterization mods like INIGO strike me as a great model for quest-important NPCs players can come to love and respect, and the questlines of Oblivion and Morrowind were far more compelling (by all accounts I've heard) than those of Skyrim, so we could draw inspiration from those.
