They are fairly different games, I really wouldn't compare them at all. While they both fall into open-world action-RPGs (barely, since they are often crossing that thin line that separates then from pseudo-RPGs like HZD and AC:O), TW3 is focused more on narrative and Skyrim is more about roaming around.

Ultimately, they are massively watered down AAA takes on genre (and in TES' case on some of its great predecessors) made for mainstream audience and both suffer quite a bit (creatively if not commercially) for it.
