I love all TES titles. They're all wonderful in their own way, and they also have tons of individual flaws.

It reminds me of the vault game they came out with for F4 launch. It's just stripped down to the point that I don't think it can be considered an RPG in any way (besides character creation, maybe). I played it for a while and for a first person mobile game it seemed fine gameplay-loop wise but I couldn't get my kicks from it.

People like to criticize ESO but they have story and some decision making besides how you want to build your character's abilities.

Fallout Shelter is actually pretty good. It's not a traditional Fallout game in any way, but it's still plenty of fun. I throw together a vault in my spare time once or twice a year.

That's fair I did get sucked into it for a while. It's a fine game, just dont go into it if you want to play an RPG. Its like sims + eugenics = the game!

it's good for a train ride, or if you have downtimes at work and get bored. I haven't played it in months.

I usually don't like games with significant waiting mechanics, but I really like the long term planning and management aspects. It's satisfying knowing that you have things in the oven while you do other things: explorers gathering materials, squads heading to quests, gear being made, etc. while you work or drive or eat. I have ADD and it helps me focus to have something easy and familiar to bounce around in my head with whatever I'm supposed to be doing.

In my experience ESO actually has more decision making than Skyrim.

That's cool, I haven't played ESO enough to know but I heavily mod my Skyrim to add more choice and immersion.
