It really is incredible! There's still much to discover!

I'm 100 odd hours in and have only Done the companions. Seriously, I haven't even seen any other guilds or even visited the Grey Beards.

Man I wish I could be that far in...

January can't come any faster!

About 150 hours.And create a new character with a diferrent playstile is such an adventure!

130 hours here on my main. I have a couple of new characters but I still prefer my first.
I've done all the guilds and a lot of misc quests, still not the civil war or mainquest though.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:52 pm

125 hours. Still haven't been to Markarth or Riften. Haven't done much of the main quest either.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 2:37 pm

~200 hours so far, and still having a blast on this end. Just about completed all the achievements, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Always different angles to play, new places to find, and of course...

Sometime in January, everything will change, right?

137 hours for me and still loving it. Finally got my smithing to 100 for Dragon Armor and am now decked out in it. Enchanting is next. Great game!

Goes double for me. :foodndrink:

140 hours here and I just finished the main quest, haven't touched any of the other guilds or most of the daedric quests, haven't even set foot in Morthal yet, and still loving it ^^ Not sure if I should do the civil war stuff before making a new char though :>

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 7:41 am

70 hours, done most major stuff dont really know what to do next. Maybe start over again playing without fast travel?

I find Bethesda games unusual in this aspect; with most games I find that as time progresses I get more and more bored until I've either completed it or had enough. With Elder scrolls, and especially SKyrim, I find each playing session unique, sometimes I'm enraptured, other times I enjoy it and sometimes I'm a bit bored, but it's never a progressive downward spiral.

My first character did 44 hours before I abandoned her. About 120 hours on this, my second who is at Level 29, and hardly touched most of the game yet. Stealth is about 70, one-handed 60, and all other skills quite a bit less. The MQ, College, DB, TG, and Companions are all barely started. I seem to be doing a lot of side quests at the moment because I guess a primary aim now is visiting all the towns and talking to as many people as I can. I have a list of side quests and miscellaneous quests as long as your arm to do.
I beat Krosis easily a couple of days ago. Fantastic game. Very few glitches, nothing game-breaking. No crashes. Love it. I am NOT bored.

103 hours going and still loving it!!

Exploring and stuff.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 3:09 am

I wish I could still keep playing Skyrim, but after 200+ hours I'm pretty bored with it. I'm just going to have to wait for the DLC in order to start playing again.

Not sure if I follow you here. I think these games are very re-play friendly and you can enjoy a second run just as much as the first run.
However, there are a lot of games who have better narration and a richer gameplay experience; but once you play through them you're done with it and never come back.

The difference is the openness of the world that makes you relax. It's the ambient "other world" experience that makes you not notice all the little flaws the game has otherwise.

I'm nearing the 300-hour mark. At first, most of that time was split between three characters. I played them along separate paths (each doing different guilds, taking different sides, etc.) Eventually they overlapped, and I've done all of the main quest lines 2-3 times now. Even at 300 hours, I feel like I've only seen 60-70 percent of the game.

What keeps me coming back are the details. The more you explore, the more you'll find micro stories that most folks will miss. Either it's a note laying around or an item someone carries in their pocket. It might be a quest in a dungeon. It might be someone you stumble across in the wild. Every location is worth visiting.

343 hours.

I have to admit boredom is creeping in. :wink:

Doesn't matter. If I stop now I will have payed 0,15 euro for every hour played. That's excellent value for money.

Precisely! What's important are all those little details which on a fast run-through are missed. Never boring when you follow the miscellany and smell the roses.

187 hrs on my Nord Warrior/Stormcloak/Companion who has completed the main quest and awaits DLC

94 hrs on my Altmer Mage/Imperial/Arch-mage who has just took the Jagged C and is up to Diplomatic Imunity in the MQ

1 hour on my Khajit Assassin/???/Dark Brotherhood who is in The Sleeping Giant Inn waiting for me to finish my Altmer playthru

I plan on playing each race to its strengths, and some playthrus I'm not even going to do the MQ, Such as my Breton serial killer, "The Riften Ripper" I'll probably end up with over 2000 hrs and 10 unique playthrus excluding DLC
