I still think skyrim is the best game in the series, mostly because the others weren't that great of roleplaying games in my opinion, skyrim is a fun and easy to access roleplaying game which makes it the best in my opinion.

"fun and easy to access"? OH OKAY. I guess that's something that's considered more powerful than immersion/feel
skyrim is not a great roleplaying game. what choices do you make? do a quest or don't do it. sometimes you do get to choose something, but nothing ever changes. it's all the same game, same world, and people are the same in every city all the time.

All of my characters are people from other games who teleported into TES. I still feel immersed in the culture and religions of Skyrim.
Just don't let the game hold you back, disregard the intro or create your own cinematic scenes.The game shouldn't have to set what you are doing in stone.

this changing the world thing isn't what makes an rpg an rpg.
I still believe the skyrim has a great level of immersion, I've gotten completely lost in the game for an over 12 hour period, during which I didn't do anything about eating or drinking in real life. I was so immersed that I literally became the character, I started to eat foods in game when i was hungry in real life because I was just that immersed, you just need to stop being so close minded because you don't like how this series has evolved.
