If you like Skyrim, consider giving Dishonored or the later Fallout games a go. (I suggest Las Vegas if you are, like me, not into FPS aspects.)
I disagree about the casual/hardcore distinction. A so called casual game can be exquisitely made and balanced on a very small budget and scope. As I said, I'm largely an indie gamer, so I rarely play games with huge development arcs and budgets in any case. (As well as actually playing games, part of the way I engage with the hobby is to donate to Kickstarters and follow development.)
I am terrible at Angry Birds, having little spatial sense, but it is still a beautifully designed and executed physics game with charming graphics.
Part of the reason I am wary of the distinction is that it is often used by angry male nerds to exclude women from the hobby. I am happy to include anyone who loves to game, whether they like text based erotica novella games or the latest blockbuster or Farm Heroes Saga.
