Depends. Usually I won't play at all during the week, and then on the weekend a few hours. Or I'll play an hour or so on some weekday and less on the weekends. Or I won't play at all for a long while, then play actively for a few weeks.

Well, it's not like I have a schedule. Sometimes 5, sometimes 1, sometimes 0. I can't say how many hours a day, however I can tell you that I've logged about 400 hours in the past 4 years..

On average, about two hours a day. But that's spread out over time. Some days I play for 6/7 hours, other times I won't touch my xbox for weeks. It all depends what mood I'm in, if I'm dealing with a bout of restartitis (as I am now), whether I've got other commitments, etc. Quite often I'll sit writing about my characters rather than play.

I can't play it because the leveling problem makes me want to burn the game disc.

Generally, when I play I play about two hours at a time. How many times a day I play can vary, but it can be up to three times a day when I'm in the mood.

I don't play any game every day and sometimes go some time without playing games at all. I tend to do things in cycles when the mood takes me. However, when I get into playing a game like Oblivion (starting up or after having not played for a while) I can, when freetime permits, play upwards of five hours in a day. After about a week or a week and a half, I'd probably take a break from the game for a while if I'd been playing it like that. At least three hours is likely a night if I'm enjoying it (although some more limited attention games that aren't Oblivion, I would only play for less than an hour before feeling that I'd had my current fill).

I enjoy this game, but have typically been playing 2-4 hours every few days. It was similar with Fallout: New Vegas, although I haven't played that in a few weeks.

Whenever I'm actively playing the game, I usually spend around 3 hours on it per day on it, depending on how much homework I have and what other stuff I need to accomplish. I'll generally play it for about a month or two, then stop for 2-6 months before picking it up again.

When I play, it's for two to three hours at a time. I play about 3 times a weekish...

I am on holidays at the moment, so I would say about 4 hours.
When I am back at work it will probably be about 2 hours.

Like most responders, for me it depends. Right now I'm not getting in much play-time due extended and brutally hectic holiday-season work hours (retail sales). Prior to that I'd say I played Oblivion at least several hours most days.

On off-days I can get in a number of two-to-three hour sessions. In those cases my longest session is generally in the morning, when I often play from right after breakfast up until shortly before lunch. Afternoon sessions, if they occur, tend to be short. After supper I'll try to get in a few hours. I've never been an "evening person", getting sleepy when the sun goes down, so no late-night sessions for me. (On the other hand, I sometimes wake very early in the morning, and have no trouble getting in a session before my 5am breakfast.)

Work days I might get in an hour or two before preparing to head out, and about as much after supper provided I'm not too worn out.

Some years ago, pre-dating Oblivion, I thought nothing of devoting entire off-days to game-play. I could play all day long in marathon sessions, pausing only to eat and take brief potty-breaks. Alas, age and health issues put a stop to that.

Looks like about 2 hours is the ticket. I'm in for that.

I figure about 2000 hours total spread over a little more than 3 years. The math works out to about 2 hours a day.

When I first got it, I would go about 10, 12 hours a day.
But now, an Hour every other week , if that.

Yeah, a couple of hours each evening. Sometimes three if the time opens up.

I said two hours because that is about how long I play when I do play, but I certainly don't play everyday...real life has it's priorities.

YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW!!!!! 0_______O

But, in reality, when I get the chance, probably an hour or two at a time, although Ive been busy as of late. Butttt, wayyy back when, with oblivion on the pc, I could go on for 6 hours at a time every once in a while XD

I posted my average time, being 3 hours a day.

Yet, as many have stated it varies between, say, 30 minutes and up to a glorious 8 hours....

There are times when i only do it as a time filler when bored, times i get into the game-play, and times i get deep into roleplay. I can, though, say i still play marathon sessions of up to 8 hours without much of a break. Who says this game came out 4 (almost 5!!) years ago? I still have great fun with it. i have had my current character for about a 8 days and have logged 27 hours +/- 30 mins.... So it averages out to a little over 3 hours =D

There are many days where I wont play Oblivion at all, though often when I do pick up the game, I get svcked in and tend to play for hours on end.

I voted 5hours + because although I only play it once per week or perhaps 3 times a month (lately, I used to play a lot more) I tend to play for 5 hours straight, or more.
I've played for 10+ hours before, which is probably why i've racked up so many hours since purchase. :P

For me it varies. I might go for several days without playing at all sometimes. It just depends on my free time, whether I have a new movie or series I want to watch, or if I want to take a break from writing for a while. I would say on average it probably comes out to an hour a day.

Around 2 per day unless I'm playing a great quest mod. I have other lives y'know, and one of them is Halo: Reach. :)

This might be embarrassing, but once when I had nothing else to do I played for 18 hrs with only a few snack/restroom breaks. :) That was when I first discovered the game.
