the only things they can do that melee weapons can't is

-get certain enchants
-block arrows

and that's it

in a game like dark souls shields actually have purpose

"They also bring your armor rating up."

yes,

but that's not what a shield is meant to do, A SHIELD IS MEANT TO BLOCK ENEMY ATTACKS, DAGNABBIT

you can also bash with a melee weapon if you're blocking with it

melee weapons don't block half as much damage as shield after specializing in them

not to mention the slow-mo cam to interrupt power attacks and the captain america rush

Can't really go wrong with anything in skyrim. Heck you can beat most the game with just illusion. (And for some parts a follower)

shields can actually be amazing in skyrim if you invest in Block a lot, but they're just..

so impractical
not to mention leveling Block while progressing through the game is a lot harder than leveling something like One-Handed
