I'll have to agree that Skyrim lacks "soul" but for another reasons. I don't know why but it feels so... hollow. It's not the lack of proper dialogue as I felt much more "in" Fallout 3 for example. Is it the environment? The silence? There is not much music in the game... Truth is even Oblivion felt more captivating for me, and that's saying a lot.
I like Skyrim a lot but it's... weird.
Lack of music, no people around, 99% of enemies are either generic bandits or critters... mysteries of my life. Maybe I'll be changing my mind once I get further in the story.

In Oblivion the wow moment of the world was when I came out of that dungeon and the light of the world hit me. I felt captivated.
Same thing with Fallout 3.
In Skyrim, I was already outside in a carriage and there wasn't that "wow" moment for me in so many of the other previous games, even Morrowind back in its time had that Wow moment. They tried to appeal with action. But action never "wowed" me.
And Skyrim is soulless. I wanted to try a character without fast traveling. However, there is nothing on the roads. All the dungeons are somewhat connected to a quest. And all I can do is pick flowers?
