It's the one thing that's always bugged me with Elder Scrolls games. There doesn't always feel like any real consequences on the world you're playing in. Daft as it sounds I think Oblivion did a better job at making you feel like part of something when you joined a guild or faction. For me, I got more of a sense that I had to 'work my way up' so to speak. Skyrim's questlines, the companions especially, feels like you're rushed through it. The dark brotherhood and the thieves guild are the two best questlines skyrim has but when you finish them both you're just left with generic pointless quests to complete afterwards. The thieves guild is quite good in that you can 'restore' the guild, but I had absolutely no motivation to do so after hours upon hours of completing generic quests in the first place. Also, are there really any rewards you've got at the end of a questline in skyrim that make you go "damn, that was worth it". Not really. The nightingale armor from the thieves guild is about as good as it gets.
Totally agree. The Dark Brotherhood and thieves quests in Skyrim were excellent and the black horse with the glowing red eyes (can't remember his/her name) I got as well, matched my red nightingale armour. Also
I was dead against TES- Online, like yourself, but I caved last week. I'll probably set it up on my PC over this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes and what it's like.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
