I haven't touched Skyrim in over a month.

I just make the ultimate character and get bored in the process.

When I get bored I play Skyrim.

Don't make the ultimate character then?

thats why i want new dlc, but you said something about anticipation?

Yes. They make us wait without telling us anything to anticipate them on their next DLC/game/whatever.

It's one thing when you want something, but an entirely different thing when you have it. They use this against you to make you want their material.

Current character, level 41...barely started any of the major questlines, and haven't really done many minor quests, and no grinding. Not bored.

You should've made the penultimate character...then you'd still have one more to go.

Eh. Tried everything.

Warriors get boring because it's all repetition.

Assassins get boring because of the slow moments in the dungeons.

Mages get boring from dying all the time.

for someone like me who is huge elder scrolls fan sure waiting for new dlc make me want it more, but i know so many regular gamers on counsel who like skyrim, but had quite playing by know because had got board and lack of new content specially on ps3 , i just think beth are hurting themselves with all this dlc thing

Try mixing it up then, play a BattleMage, a mage that uses heavy armour and weapons. Or try to roleplay a character, create a story and a set of ethics.

Played Skyrim today for the first time in two months. Got bored after 10 minutes. Havent bought Hearthfire as im really not interested but i'm looking forward to ANYTHING. Just something. Which makes me play again and have fun while playing. Yeah that would be good...

I haven't really played Skyrim for a long time. I've been playing other games.

I believe the main way Bethesda is hurting themselves is coming out with new games that aren't ready to come out.

As a Bethesda game developer, they are limited to a specific budget and time range that gives them only so many resources to complete the game. When it comes to DLC, especially for Skyrim, they're rushing it.

Would you rather the people be happy, or the DLC to come out faster?

I said I tried Everything. Lol

no i rather would have finished product
but one and half dlc in a year for a huge company like beth is pretty weak sorry and that reason why many people had got board and left and only true fans are still around

Don't get me wrong, I have put several hundred hours into each ES game, but this one I have put in many hours as well and I just can't come up with the right thing. Nothing is satisfying enough, it seems.

Play a different game, try something new, or step outside?

Why not do something productive instead of trying to insult me and fail miserably? Kthanks. You don't know me, kid.

I'm in the midst of some burnout myself. But I'm sure that, after a few weeks, I'll pick it up again and continue my obsession.
My advice is to create a story, and roleplay your character. It extends the longevity of the game by thousands of hours - at least for me - and many of my characters reach the point where I can continue their story without touching the game. I become so involved in their lives that I can write about them and their lives after the events of the game.

If roleplaying isn't your thing, then perhaps you're starting to reach some extended burnout - you're getting tired of the content. That's a natural thing in gaming, and I don't think there's much you can do about it, short of buying any DLC you haven't already. I you feel like you've explored every inch of the world and just don't want to anymore, why not pick up Oblivion of Morrowind?


Actually, that 'kid' just made some good points. It's basically an abbreviated way of saying what many others are suggesting.

Played them to death. Lately I've been using my spare time to play WoW. I never thought I would resort to that.

I love the idea that if you've played something to death, and then get bored, this is something shocking that requires a forum post.

I don't really see what kind of response you want from this.

It reminds me of when Skyrim was first released, and people would post things like: "I've played for 240 hours non-stop, and, you know, the game is really repetitive."

This post is brilliant!

I salute you, sir.

Ugh. You just don't get it. x)

The funny thing is, Forums are supposed to be places where people can talk about things openly. That is the direct translation of the word "forum."

I made the ultimate character and then I got bored so I turned her into a god.
Now I am not bored.
