Anyone else find Skyrim (the province) boring? and the side quest lines short?

For starters I want to make it clear that Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim the game is awesome. But Skyrim as a setting I found bit disappointing and boring. I mean scenically it's impressively, but four out of the nine major cities (hold capitals)are practically towns.

Also the games side quest-lines felt substantially shorter than of the previous games, because of the radiant side-side quests.

I wish the towns were bigger, yes.

The guild quests are always too short in TES, because they're awesome and end before I'm done having fun with them.

"This roller-coaster is awesome! Awww, it's over? It sucks then," would be pretty dumb of me to say though.

Lets just say Skyrim is a lot more interesting than Cyrodil to me, sure it looked nice but sometimes it just felt like there was no variation in Cyrodil, something Skyrim thnkfully has a lot of

I wish Skyrim had more of the land that the giants hang out on. I find it a lot more fun then the endless mountains. Also I found the dark brotherhood and thieves guild a bit lacking this time.
Main quest is worth doing this time though which is nice.
