whats up everyone... so i recently started playing skyrim... and im simply addicted to the game, i love how there are so many things you can do thats its endless.. i just found out today that i think i may have an addiction after playing for 5 hours straight..... i never in my life played a video game for more than an hour, this game is amazing and dangerous for me hahaha but i dont want to stop playing!!! i love this game!!

and i just took an arrow to the leg, i gota get back to it... take it easy everyone.. i will be in touch

Its nice seeing positive newbie comments. I remember discovering morrowind for the first time and becoming hooked instantly. Oblivion was just the same and skyrim of course has eaten up alot of my life....thank god my boyfriend plays this too so theres no relationship issues. Im sure TES has destroyed a few marriages, perhaps even strengthened a few lol

^ first 20 hours, though I play alot games, all the time!

I run a stream every night 8pm PST. We all hang out, talk about random stuff and I play dead is dead skyrim. Basically if I die I delete the character. Tons of fun for everyone. If you want jump in tonight to satisfy your itch for skyrim while being social and technically not playing lol. Website is in my sig.

I know just how you feel. Welcome to the forums...I'm also having a blast in Skyrim. I wish I had my Fishy Stick link handy. Keep your eyes on the skies!

please don't tell me we're getting online multiplayer chumps (just kidding) playing our beloved rpg's?

First time player as well - great game. I find myself being more of a role of a tank; charge in and bash away with a 2 hander (except for giants) Laughed my butt off the first time I got sent a mile high but a giant on the first blow. I have about 20 hours in on my first character levle 13. Wife and kids limit my actual play time.

thank you everyone!

im on the east coast so it will be a little difficult for me to meet you at that time thought that sounds fun as hell

im still on my first character level 19 two hander weapons, decent armor,

but i plan on making a new character just unsure what to create as a character is concerned anyone have advice on a fun one to use?!

and i play on 360, im sure its a lot better on PC though

On a good PC with ultra settings on everything its FANTASTIC. But otherwise its good on every platform.

As for character choice, for a very entertaining experience go completely opposite of your normal rpg choices. Never played an archer in any game before (like myself) then do it. Not usually a mage? Try one....or are you normally a certain type of mage like fire lightning and ice? How about changing that up for strictly conjuring. How about sneak/thief/dagger character or sneak/illusion. I could go on and on, and im sure it will happen like that when you reach that character creation again. /

Long story short, go completely opposite of what you would choose and stick to it. Learning techniques with very unfamiliar skills can be challenging and fun.

thank you topherman never thought of it that way... i love these forums a lot of nice people.. unlike some others i have been a part of

Yeah man, I played something like 200 hours in the first six weeks, if you can believe it. But I didn't hang out in the forums all that time, and I am glad.
