With all the radiant quests and radiant rewards, do you like that randomness in Skyrim.

I personally like it to an extent. I think radiant quests were poorly implemented in Vanilla Skyrim with the game relying too heavily on them. I do like the option for the randomness though, just not if it pushes other, more story driven quests into the back seat.

The randomness of the Radiant quests can be helpful, especially if you don't have a lot of time to play.

I agree that story driven quests shouldn't take a back seat to these little bits of random.

Oblivion started it with something may actually call "AI" which was a HUGE step forward. You stroll through the imperial forest, stumble upon a bunch of necromancers, flee in terror - But at the horizon, you saw an Imperial soldier. Compare that with NPCs mumbling to themselves and even staring at walls 24/7 when the game set a sixth house ash zombie to kill you down in the crowded basemant of Balmora's mage guild.

Skyrim takes it further, I really like the Random Encounters. Altough it gets somewhat predictable where the pre-defined spawnpoints for stuff are.
