I keep playing it.

What a phenomenal and extensive game

I couldn't get into it.  Never figured out why.

I think it’s about how you approach this game.

Accept every side quest and roam/explore the open world until you find a string of quests that interests you enough to follow the bread crumbs

I’ve played hundreds of hours with multiple character builds and have yet to complete the main quest

I only played Skyrim once, but I'm the same way with Fallout 4. Several hundred hours and only completed the main quest the times - once for each faction. I'll likely play again once I get the new pc.

PC has a bunch of impressive mods for this game’s visuals

If you only stick to the main story lines you are missing a whole lot

I’ve been playing handheld on switch lately

ETA: play with a bow

I'm years behind in gaming, as usual.  I just got Skyrim, its fun.  My problem is I keep getting my ass handed to me in combat.  If i get more than one opponent, I'm usually a dead man.

You can lower the dificulty. Also, you can make a better character. Are you fighting with your bare hands? Weak. That's a brewergeorge move. "My lightweight slap-gnome will be unstoppable at level 40!" DOA. Build out an imperial and get behind a shield. Also found that bows are a huge help in softening up engagements. Some range and some sneak mode.

 

Magic is for the george.

Play as a stealthy archer - pick them off at a distance.

Screw that fistfighting crap.  I've tried swords, daggers, and the bows. I am a Nord Warrior, damn you!   I am slowly learning how to use the 'magic' aspect of it.  I just got my first shout.  My problem, one of many, is that i get stuck and get frustrated.  I switch back and forth between this and Fallout 4.  Im no better at that.
