Hi there!

And here I am, after an inner argument with myself, I finally uninstall Skyrim!
and the result is; It's a huge game, one of the best in design, but after 70 hrs of playing, it is boring!

for or against?

Against. Especially if you're on PC.

And this is coming from a PS3 player.

Against, I don't understand how anyone could get bored with any TES game that fast...

Why do people think we even bother about those kind of threads?

You spent only 70 hours on this game? Good for you. It's obviously not your type of game. Go play another, thxbye.

70 hours? Aginst

Against. Anyway, 70 hours is 3 x the average playtime for nowadays games, so it must have done something well to keep you in this much.

Rusher.

Against.... you haven't even done anything in 70 hours.... You are yet to explore the different perks to see how they change gameplay. You may have picked a bad playstyle for yourself. There is tons to do. You need to go around and find random places and you will find yourself in many quest u did not expect. Definitely Against though. I probably have somewhere close to 300 hours myself and i'm not bored. Envision a character you want to create... I want an argonian shadowscale...so what does that mean for this character? And than try to create it. Thats making it pretty fun for me. And keeping it interesting.

I'm wondering why it matter if the board is for or against your decision? Convo starter?

Guys. I am on PC and I have played Oblivion for nearly one year!!! I don't know why I can't play skyrim like this.

I know the feeling.

I can't play Oblivion like i played Morrowind.
I can't play Skyrim like i played Oblivion.

But in the end, they are 3 epic games. They are so diferent & so alike at the same...

70 hours isn't enough time to declare that it's boring. If you played Oblivion you should know that there is a ton of stuff to do in an Elder Scrolls game. Explore and do quests and try differenent playstlyes, like Vespaman said. 70 hours just isn't enough time to experience even a fraction of what Skyrim has to offer.

You said yourself it's a huge game, but you can't possibly have seen much of it after such a short time.

its up to you. I cant change your opinion
But i can say that 70 hours? You have not touched the game's potential yet. But if you really dislike it, then dont force yourself to play on. Like i quitted fable 3 immediately after the main quest....

After just 70 hours? Are serious? Against deffo.
You'll have done nothing and got nowhere in 70 hours, hell I've been at it for 96 or so and I've only barely scratched the surface myself. If you had played any TES game you'd know you need to be somewhere in triple figures to have even really made a dent.
Clearly these aren't the games for you...

I understand. It happened to me in Oblivion, I was used to Morrowind's strange atmosphere and unique places design that svcked me in completely and kept me playing alarmingly many hours in a row, whereas in Oblivion the places and the questlines lacked the magic power of attraction to make me curious what's next. In Skyrim I'm not bored yet, and the game still holds me interested, not so much by the quests but especially by the dungeons design and perk system, but I just posted to tell you that I understand, I've been there and there's nothing wrong with your perception. It's a very subjective thing and it has to do with a lot of subjective parameters such as your pre-release expectations, the other games you've been playing, your disposition to suspend disbelief...I am of the opinion that being bored with a game is not necessarily a direct consequence of the inherent quality of the game. You may come back later and enjoy greatly, for instance at some point I went back to Oblivion and played the [censored] out of it, without mods. I simply found refreshed motivation.

Took me about 100 hours for hunting and exploration only before being slightly bored...I guess it all in the eye of the beholder.

Over 800 hours and I've still got questlines I haven't done, places I haven't seen, characters whose stories I want to play through etc. I'll be playing Skyrim for as long as I did MW I think.

70? Wow, that's rather fast. Anyway if those 70 were quality time, it's still a lot. It's almost 3 complete days of our limited life.

To OP: Have you installed any mods? Have you disabled the Enemy and Location Markers in Compass?

I became bored of the unmodded game in about 100 hours too. The reason was mostly all the markers in the Compass which made me not use my brain. After I disabled the Compass (and later just the markers) the game became much more interesting.

My advice to you if you haven't already done it. Role-play. It might sound silly telling you that since this is an rpg but what I mean is really try to get into character. It makes the game so much more enjoyable. Don't fast travel. Don't just make a character and get every skill to 100, create OP armor and weapons and rush through all the guilds. You may already do this, I don't know. But if you don't then give it a try. Also, mods help out a lot.

Against. Quitting after 70 hours is some sort of premature climix.

against.. you rushed it and thats not how these games are meant to be played IMO

I'm not for, I'm not against. I'm just happy it's not happening to me, this my friend is a disaster.

For; pre mods.

Against; Now that I can mod.

I was done a week and a half after release, and didn't pick Skyrim up again until the CS was released.

you play the same game over and over again and it gets boring? No [censored].

No Morrowind, Oblivion wasn't that different except since then there are expansions DLCs and mods for them.


Wait for the DLC if you must.
