WRPG = anything that isn't a JRPG, basically. It's basically "RPG in the style of bioware" as opposed to "RPG in the style of Squaresoft".

But Bethesda is its own thing. Even 20+ years ago, a Bethesda RPG bore little resemblance to other WRPGs - like, compare the original Fallout, or even Baldur's Gate, to Daggerfall. Bethesda games have never been driven by their characters or even by any compelling plot. It's just, "here's a big open world - go do stuff." So I don't think not liking Skyrim has any implications for your views about any other games not made by Bethesda.
