Pure text based? Nah, never was into those.
However, there is a wonderful game called Space rangers. It mixes a lot of aspects, from things you'd like to see in a space adventure, like economy ( amazing dynamics for an economy I tell you ), fights, you can do anything as you please.
Certain missions you can take from planets however, will be text-based adventures with narration.
Kinda hard to describe, but it's a wonderful mix. The sequel, called Rise of the Dominators even has a basic RTS aspect into it, in certain missions.
I liked the textquests this game has, it was maybe the most unique experience for me, and, a big surprise.
How is this related to Skyrim/TES? I don't know.
