I truly despise SP games with the progressive machine-style advancement system:Elder Scrolls 4 was like that. Elder Scrolls 3 was not.

In these games, you NEVER actually get any stronger - it is only an illusion - because the monsters keep getting stronger, thus you are stuck on that perpetual leveling-tredmill to nowhere, always "challenged", but is that fun? The monsters may change skins, but they are still the same old sandboxed things you've been fighting since level 1. Sandboxed AI does not change the fact that your fighting against the computer. It's hard to find a good game nowadays.
Not too sure which path Elder Scrolls 5 will follow in that regard.
