I like exploring, but I also like games to have a clear beginning, middle and end. Skyrim failed in the last part, it kinda just fizzles out and becomes boring. The world of dark souls kept me engaged longer and had me play through it 3 times while I put Skyrim away after there was no where left to go but more samey dungeons.
Fallout NV had better structure and progression. I didn't feel like anything had really changed in Skyrim after completing any of the quest lines.
There is nothing wrong with linear games either. Catherine, El Shaddai, Uncharted 3, The Witcher 2, Dues Ex HR were all awesome last year. As long as there is some structure open world games are great as well.
