It's the only explanation. I'm 350 hours in (since 11.11.11), 1200 saves made, 10 characters (each with a specific trait or faction line), and I'm still looking forward to playing this game tonight. Yes, I have a full time job (oops, need to get off here and get back to work). Yes, I still manage to spend time with family and friends, feed myself, bathe, watch some tv (very little).

I may need help. Nah. I can quit anytime I want.

The first step in a cure for addiction is intervention.... so destroy your gaming platform. That should help.

Sad (or happy?) to say I'm in the same boat -- around 350 hours in with 3 level 30+ characters and 2 level 15+ characters and I want to make a new one.

My latest project is to play a true thief build with very limited combat options (probably just 5 points in either archery or 1h). I'm not sure how effective this will be at killing dragons, but I will make sure to bring some hired muscle along to help me out.
