Well, considering I found the other questlines to be disappointing, I thought it would be a pointless exercise to compare the Skyrim questlines to each other.

I do agree, though. The change in tone is perfect. I love how the guild is down and out and you've got to help them regain a foothold in Skyrim. I wasn't overly fond of a curse being the reason for their situation, and even after helping the guild, I never really got the impression that the Thieves Guild is prevalent any where other than Riften. It all boils down to a core issue with the game: Nothing seems to really change.
