I feel like the "there are dozens of us! Dozens!" meme when I'm like I didn't think Skyrim was very good. The story was mostly thin, the combat wasn't great, the systems were shallower than the previous games, the leveling wasn't great (the scaling was better than oblivion but that's a lot bar).
I played it a lot but a lot of that was trying to get it into something I liked via mods.
Edit: I think Skyrim also has a certain meme status, where people who don't play a lot of games play it. That's a very loose measurement of quality.
The whole point of Skyrim is modding the shit out of it. Not actually playing it.
