Ive been playing skyrim since it came out and ive had different playthroughs with different characters and it all seems too repetative and boring...the only thing thats making me have fun with the game are perks, new glitches and mods...anyone else feel the same or is it just me?

You're probably just burned out, it happens. Take a break for a while and you will probably want to play again.

:/

That is probably why Bethesda is bringing out Dawnguard, even though it is announced for 360, it will be coming out on other platforms. ^^ i agree happens to me with other games all the time

No,its not boring for me - sorry.Too big a game with a huge variety of playstyles,shouts,skills etc to explore for it to be boring.

It's the opposite for me.. not only have I played numerous times already, but I keep finding new ways to play and I always get higher in level each time. It's pretty fun to experiment with everything.

Nope, not bored yet. Dawnguard will be a welcome addition though.

Its always healty to take a break. It keeps you to feel bored.

I agree with this guy. It took me 200-300hrs to get to level 81... a little burnt-out yeah, but I mean it's still interesting to me, I just like to be playing it a lot for days at a time, and right now around Uni and work I can't which bugs me, but I still have to do the bard's college quest-line, and the mage's college one (on my main character), and I still have to do the thieves city influence ones to do to get the legitimate title of guild master and my armour, but uhm... aside from a couple more Daedric missions I think that's about all I have to do. Probably another 20-30hrs of gameplay before it just becomes getting the strongest possible armour and weaponry (though I may have come close to achieving this already I suspect)

Without mods, after you complete all the major side quests, the world does feel a little dull

Not even with all the nice mods could Skyrim keep my interest. I'll see what Dawnguard has to offer(as far as what modders can use it for) before i try and find some form of long term enjoyment in the game.

Boring? Not with with creation kit on my hard drive

I play games everyday.
Ive only played Skyrim since 11-11-11
I play it everyday.
Not bored.
Im also on xbox. Mods? Aint nobody got time for dat.
Also, WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE FISHY STICKS!

Even after 600hrs i am not bored . I have a different character build for each of the main guilds, so i just swap between them to keep things interesting.

The funny thing is i've played Skyrim and Oblivion about the same amount of time by now, and i've finished Oblivion only once, but Skyrim at least half a dozen times

This. When this happens, I crack out civilization. World domination FTW

Haven't stopped playing it since December. Nope, not for me.

I took a break due to pretty much every quest I was following being bugged (blood on the ice, TG line etc).
I played ME3 and checked these forums once a day.

Once I saw the bugs were patched, I was all over the game again.

I'll probably take another break to play the new Hitman, but I'll keep coming back to Skyrim.
As I said to my other half when she asked if I was still playing Skyrim "baby, I'm always playing Skyrim, even if I'm not playing Skyrim... I'm playing Skyrim."

Been playing since it came out, haven't gotten bored yet. 1,000 plus hr's on 360, so it's not like i'm modding. I play a different character for each questline that keeps it fresh for me, plus a hunter character that does no questlines just explores.

Not for me m8. Even though I really overplayed Skyrim in just 4 months (Did around 5 characters to full) and I am playing it ever since it came out, it's just because I had mods. Also I am a Game Of Thrones fan and Skyrim is a lot like GOT so I am really not getting bored at all. It doesn't feel like the game is few months old. With new mods, it feels like I'm always playing a new game and that's what I love about Skyrim. New content every day and now with Dawnguard, it's getting even better. Crossbows, vampire transformation, new armors, places and spells. This game is getting bigger and bigger everyday.

I must say also, that without mods - I probably wouldn't love it as much. Would be on my shelf like 3 months ago, but because it's moddable like crazy, I think I'm never gonna stop playing Skyrim. Also I did get bored once when I overplayed it and stopped for a month to play Diablo III. But I'm back at it again ^^

I've found it getting very boring - the endless scripted events and linear quests mean each time you play it's exactly the same things happening in exactly the same way. And the writing is so bad it becomes a matter of spotting more and more plot holes. Only applying lots of mods and the random stuff you get happening outside the dull quests sustains any interest now.

It isn't though, yes if you go to "X" dungeon in a questline the same sort of things are going to happen, but if you do the dungeon at totally different lvl's the exact same thing's don't happen in the exact same way. I've went through a certain dungeon 2 times doing companions and once outside the questline all 3 times at very different lvl's 15, 27 and 40 and the "enemies" were very different in number and what they were, so I had to fight them in different way's. The character's were also different, pure warrior, battlemage and thief.

But really I try not to do alot of the same dungeons, forts or caves to close together anyway. I've done BOTI with every character just because I know it's bugged and I may later decide I want the house and it has to be done to get it. And I still find it fun to do. The only dungeon I find boring is the 1st one that has to be done in order to have Dragons appear, which I make a point of doing at as low a lvl as possible, so that it at least represents something of a challenge. But really I've done it at least 15 times, some characters not making it to far past their because I wasn't really happy with them.

I don't mind the actual dungeons - I don't personally feel they're much different at different levels - you can kind of guesstimate what you'll find at what level and it's still going to be the same type in the same positions - but they're mostly very well designed - some are pretty amazing - and much better overall than randomised ones. I like the little stories lots of them have to them too.

I meant the way you're going to see the exact same scripted events -e.g. you get to Riften. Hear Mjoll and her stalker talking about thieves guild. Maul talks to you. Then scripted conversation with mini task to get you handy potion for next part which is when Brynjolf walks up to you. Loads of the game plays like a FPS with the exact same scripted stuff at set points designed to wave quests in your face and talk you into doing stuff. Subsequent playthroughs would be more interesting - particularly from an RP perspective - if you were left to discover stuff by yourself by talking to people or doing things off your own initiative. Instead, Bethesda decided everyone is a cretin and needs to be told what to do. Then the questlines are linear and offer very little choice - usually kill this person and get item/don't kill this person and perhaps get different item. On top of that, the writing is terrible which makes it not worth replaying quests to enjoy the story. The strength of this kind of game is the freedom on offer, but Bethesda seem to have somehow made Skyrim into a claustrophobically repetitive environment I think due to these two factors - thinking the player needs to be constantly guided and prompted and their appartent ongoing refusal to employ any decent writers.
With a game this size, part of the joy should be stumbling across decent sized quests you never knew existed on subsequent playthroughs. But so much content is shoved in your face, you see virtually everything on your first couple of playthroughs and there's lvery little that's left for you to discover by yourself. You could totally miss the DB and thieves guild in Oblivion - that's virtually impossible in Skyrim. It's like they've become terrified you're not going to do everything on your first playthrough. Really bad design.

But the world is lovely and wandering around it is nice.

This. I played skyrim for about 14 hours each day for a month, and at the end i felt like "i don't hate the game, but i can probably not play it again forever "

Guess what happened one month later.

Well, Skyrim is repetitive.
The quests are repetitive.
The character personalities are repetitive.
The generic quests are repetitive.
The dungeons are repetitive.
The combat is repetitive.
The loot is repetitive.
The enemy types are repetitive.

Skyrim is repetitive.

You can always do what I did:
1. Throw a fit.
2. Curse Skyrim and rant on how awful it is.
3. Cool down for a month or two.
4. Come back when there are new mods to try out that makes it less repetitive.
