100 hours in level 37 and not even close to being done...

Post » Mon Jun 04, 2012 6:25 am

I noticed last night that I have reached the 100 hour mark on my character and I have 240+ saves and I am nowhere near finished

What a long game...i have barely scratched the surface of the main quest, i am about 3/4 through with thieves guild and have just started dark brotherhood and am almost finished with bards college....that is it....i still have so much more content to partake in.

I do examine pretty much everything and dungeons take me forever to finish because I scour every nook and cranny and i also have alchemy maxed and grab every single ingredient i can get my hands on.

I remember reading that there was over 80 hours of gameplay...80 hours...that is very conservative to say the least.

I don't like this playstyle of creating one character and doing everything with it. I prefer to create a different character for each questline. But yeah, the game is huge. I have 121 hours and I've only completed the main quest and thieves guild (with different characters of course).

Yes I am on 360 and the game plays like a dream...no lag and bugs as far as I can tell.
...i hear the complaints and I do believe them, but they definitely got the code right on the 360 because it plays great with no issues that I have seen

Yeah I'm the same, I'm on my third character, my first did nothing but the MQ, it was about 70 hours. My second did just the Mages College and that was about 25. My third is a thief, but my Bosmer on every other TES becomes my main character. When the DLC hits I'll go back to my first character as he is my Dragonborn.

Weird, I have 110hours logged on and since I turned auto-save off I haven't had many issues.

I think I have ~70 hours in and am almost level 30.

240 saves?! Hah, wow.

Early on I turned off all of the auto-save options. When I manually save I do so in a revolving manner where I overwrite the oldest one, keeping only a total of 7 saves.

I am playing on PS3 and have had no lag or game breaking bugs. I am only on the third leg of the MQ with a lot of undirected exploring and discovery.

It's been a fun ride so far.

I have a PS3 and I've not really encountered any problems. I have had a few minor issues since 1.3 patch (or 2.03 :mellow: ), but nothing unplayable, and no frame rate issues. I think all this PS3 stuff is blown out of proportion.
