1 char only, mage dunmer level 38. 100 hours, discovered almost everything there was to discover. Bored, because there's nothing to discover anymore. I hope the mods will bring new and challenging content, or I'll quickly stop playing.

Yes, I'm still playing.

No. Skyrim got boring fast, it doesn't have the same replay value of past Bethesda titles.

I stopped over a month ago. After the initial wow the world is so impressive phase I quickly found most of the game mechanics to be tedious, frustrating or too simplistic for my tastes. Lessons have been learnt.

still playing and will play until the release of
-kingdoms of amalur reckoning
-Darksiders 2
Diablo 3 off my list .. when i heard it will be "online" and "real money auction house"

still playing and nearly at 500 hours over around 10 characters?

Sort of. I'll play it here or there, but not as much as I use too.

I already preorder Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Played the demo and enjopy it.

I'm thinking of loading up Oblivion or Dragon Age (not 2 ugh) untill some DLC content comes out. I just don't find myself guled to Skyrim as I did for Oblivion.

yes... i think about it all the time.. and I WANT mah.. creation kit ^-^


pirated it first, then bought it i love this game


playing on pc, with MAH CONSOLE COMMANDS AND CHEEEESEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I've played for 69 hours.. I've done all big quests and plenty of minor ones. Now I'm waiting for the CK.
I consider Skyrim really good because of this, because I hardly spend more than a few hours on every other game I try before I get bored by them

Well said Paulreedsmith. I am a first time player in these type of games. I play about 2 hours a night after work and the kids are asleep. I have finished about .5% of the main quest line (about 50 hours of game playtime). I have the game on PS3 and worry about the impending explosion at 8K or what ever but am enjoying the game. I have a level 26 Nord Tank. Plate armor, two hander and very little magic. I have been wandering around finding dungeons and keeps and clearing them or being cleared. If I find somthing I do not enjoy I move on. Discovered the storm call shout last night and then fast traveled back to Whiterun. Saved the game and stood in the market place and tested the shout. Did that 2 or three times just to watch. I think it is funny to read some of these posts about people being sooooo serious about their characters and how a wood elf would never carry a two hander or a dragon only flies in spirals to the left and the game has it spirialing to the right. IT"S A GAME........ and a great game.

Not a day has gone by since I bought the game on 11/14 where I haven't played Skyrim. Even when I was pretty sick for a few days last week and spent most those days sleeping, I would still fire up the PS3 and explore a bit. 350+ hours and I'm not even close to being bored.

for me, i'll have to wait and see what happens after i play out this initial run of characters. THEN, the truth of the longevity of skyrim can be seen.

as of today, i presume, that after my 3 characters get rid of the guilds, mq and explore most of the land, i WILL NOT be playing it and will return to the fallouts and morrowind.

and, i'm really looking forward to a replay of oblivion to compare with skyrim.

i'll say it again-- with morrowind and oblivion i have yet to seriously and strictly roleplay. with skyrim, i HAVE to roleplay. that's both good and bad, for me as a player, but, very bad for beth.

only time will tell.

Still playing it... and loving it. Figure when I finish, will start a new character and play it as either a Made or Warrior type, and just go more casually.

I got it on first day for PS3 ( silly me ) Trade it 1 week after, just waiting for GotY edition in a year or 2 on steam XD

I haven't played Skyrim in over a month. I'm waiting on some thorough overhauls and a few gigs of new content before I even touch it again.

No, stopped playing because of various problems with the game, problems that are seemingly gone in the 1.4 Beta though.
So I will be playing it again, but it's nice with a little break from it so I'll give it another week or 2.

Also waiting on patch. Two of my quests are broken. Still like the game, but the longer I am away, the easier it is to get svcked into another game.

Of course I'm still playing Skyrim. However I've begun alternating between Skyrim, Morrowind and Oblivion.

I think that taken by itself, without comparison to other video games, Skyrim is an excellent video game.

However, in many ways that are important, at least to me, it is less of rpg than Oblivion is. And from what I hear, ditto when compared to Morrowind (which I've yet to play, but I will when I get a new PC this year). I found myself, over the last couple weeks, starting to miss a lot of things that I really love about Oblivion: factions, fame, npc reactions based on fame/accomplishments/choices, more detailed and interesting quests, npc's that talk to each other, and the high fantasy aspect. (I consider Skyrim more of a gritty fantasy, which is awesome, but less awesome to me than high fantasy). I also miss relatively simple things that turned out to be surprisingly important to me: seeing my character while in the menu (why did they take this out?), being able to cast spells without having to unequip weapons/shield, the old lockpick mini game, even the speech mini game, and others. I profoundly miss Oblivion's journal system.

It got to the point where a few days ago I loaded up Oblivion just to make sure my two characters are still alright. Then last night I found myself playing Oblivion again, and really loving it. I left the disc in the 360; it's the game I'll be playing for a while. It was so refreshing to pull up the journal and be able to read -- in detail -- about quests that were open and quests that my character had completed. It was like reading a cool story. In Skyrim the quest log is so spartan you have to use the GPS quest markers. In Oblivion I would turn off the quest marker by making a quest active that (a) I never intended to finish and ( b) had no specific location. Thanks to Oblivion's journal I could figure out where to go if I read carefully and thought about things and studied the map on my own. In Skyrim you often have no hope of figuring things out from the journal entries, they're far too spartan. It becomes a game of running from glow point to glow point, eyes glued to the compass, because without it you'd literally have no idea of where to even begin many quests, let alone where to complete them.

Skyrim does a lot of great things, and I got a good 60+ hours out of it -- and didn't come close to seeing it all -- but something about the way they simplified and changed things leaves the rpg-side of me feeling a little disinterested. Also, Skyrim is ultimately a pretty depressing place. It's cold, harsh, torn by civil war, and filled with grimy and down-trodden people. It's cool in that way, because that's on purpose, but I really did miss the high fantasy vibe in Cyrodiil.

Of course not x)
True fans of TES Dont stop playing until next game comes out,And i still play morrowind and oblivion,
over 300 hours in skyrim.Ofcourse i havent got bored

Yes...wish they'd get bored of the forum too!

what problems?

and, which are gone with the patch?

I am definatly still playing it, I actually restarted my first character after getting her to 25, because I realized I wanted to do a pure mage with her, and coming up with a backstory for her one night. I also have a little ranger type in the works that is going to be a werewolf and she is level 8. My playtime is at over 100 hours but I just now after messing around with my mage type character and rerolling have started to get "into" the game. Mind you I do not play alot, an hour or two here and there these days, I have alot on my plate, but it is a nice escape from reality to return to Skyrim and the Elderscrolls.

I am absolutely still playing it. Might start up Morrowind soon though.

I also have 83 hours up (according to Steam today) and I have barely scratched the surface of this game...!!
How on earth could you be finished with it in 83 hours. You must have rushed pell-mell through it to do that. I take it slow and savour the game. I dont use fast travel etc. It's a TES game....not an FPS. I'm not in a hurry.
