I suppose one of the flaws, if seen as a flaw, is that it such a big game, it is quite difficult to replay as it takes such a long time to develop and finish a character. It almost feels like too much of a task to go through it again. But I'm on my third playthrough and might do a fourth.

As much as I love mods, that's a pretty extremist posture. Even my first exclusively vanilla character lasted me more than one month.

No dont leave, keep playing.

If you must download MODS.

Kind of fast... You could have tried different characters, maybe another playstyle makes more fun for you...

I seriously think it could do with something that draws the player deeper in to the game. Better atmosphere, more randomness, or even just a sense of achievement.

Noooo! Don't go! *sob* play it forevaaaar! *cries*

Against.

When there are 10 races and so many skills and perks you can choose from I fail to understand how anyone can get bored so quickly. I've been playing 136 hours so far and I'm still discovering new locations and quests.

Do you power play or use guides to help you? If yes, then that is probably why you got bored so quickly.

So he got bored with the game. Who cares?

Against, I'd never uninstall a TES until the next one is released.

Gosh. I've played at least 300+ hours and am still HUGELY into this game. RPing helps a lot. I still haven't scratched the surface with my current character and I have another character after him ready to go which will have a different story/play style than my current character.

I will be playing Skyrim for a long, long time.

Well, 70 hours is a lot for most games these days. I personally loged 260 hours before I started to become slightly bored. Installed various mods, and have now played 320 or something.
I haven't played for a while, as I've had other things to do. Modding, other games, a novel I'm working on, school, friends and such are some reasons. But the game itself is amazing and huge, but I'm starting to run out of things to do. Don't take me wrong, I have not done it all, but everything is so repetitive. That's all. So I'm waiting for DLC and some big Quest mods of real scale.
And while a wait, I have all those things I listed before to do. I'm especially excited for the novel, as I started this week and have so many ideas.

I have 190 hours plugged into the game and counting. I will never ever uninstall it.

Well there is only so much time dungeon crawling and bandit killing can keep one's interest up For me it did over 600 hours though

ive been playing 35 hours and just finished the main quest line. I still like it enough to keep playing as there are TONS of things i have not discovered yet and I am only 50% through the achievements.... The only reason i can see boredom settin in on you is if you cheated the system by consoling end game equipment for yourself and ran around one hitting things to power through all the stuff in game. I have a buddy in your position that did just that and he doesnt play much anymore as a result of it. I didnt play much of the 2 previous editions of ES, but I do hope they continue progressing the story arc and add new content as they go along. I for one would loooove to see a trophy room added to our homes where we could display some of our most rare and valuable pieces... say a great hall of sorts? I could display all the named loot i have aquired and stuffed in my dinky chest instead of just looking at a box.

On another note, I would like to see some of the end game loot toned down... I have a lvl 56 sneaker with 2 deadric daggers that just one hits anything (even dragons if im lucky enuff to get behind one with it unaware of me) after i enchanted and maxed my smithing.... it does make for less enjoyable play. I would suggest to the OP that he create a new character and go a different class route then the one before just to help him expeience new things in the game... and take your time traveling instead of instant traveling everywhere... you run into alot of cool things traveling.

This + what shyguy said in post 20. I am on PS3 so I cannot mod, but at least I can turn off the HUD. Combine that with roleplaying/no fast travel and the game can be very interesting. I'd probably be a little bored too if I had not turned off the HUD because I was always staring at the compass icons, the red enemy dots and the sneak crosshair. When those things are front and center of your screen how can you not stare at them? Once I turned off the HUD, it let me really get into my characters because now I was looking at NPCS and listening to them to figure out whether they could see me or not.

I was really disappointed that Skyrim does not contain enough clues in the gameworld (lack of directions) to let you complete quests, but once I figured out how well they did with putting clues in the gameworld to let you know if you were hidden or not, I forgave Bethesda for the lack of directions.

I preferred a class system with real racial and class distinctions with attributes and more spells and spellmaking etc. etc., so I could see why a TES player could get bored or disillusioned with Skyrim, but I have found enough of interest here to make me excited to keep playing. I have seven different characters each with their own unique personality and build.

After 70 hours, I had just barely explored the Riverwood/Whiterun surroundings I do take full advantage of the exploration and sightseeing aspects of the game, and have to investigate every mountain top and hole in the ground. And I don't rush my exploration, and much of it is done in sneak mode (hate running through a clump of bushes and colliding with a cave bear). So that eats up a LOT of hours. Whilst I long for more depth and quality in many aspects of the game, I have to admire its ability to keep me playing and exploring for a good long time.

Against, but then again it has a lot to do with a person's playstyle.

If you overcharged enchant early to get double enchants and power leveled smithing and did exploit loops and such to make your character godly overpowered, I could see why someone would get bored.

I too am bored with Skyrim but it took me close to 200 hours to get there. There is only 2 or 3 side quests left but I feel no urge to go play them. I'm sure there are some misc quests somewhere but quite frankly those are tedious.
200 hours compared to any game that isn't a Bethesda game is very impressive, however it doesn't compare well with other Beth games (and one Obsidian game) which I have spent far longer playing.
70 hours really is rather short amount of time for Skyrim however if you are bored with the game because of the 'ocean that is 2 feet deep' syndrome Skyrim seems to suffer from rather than amount of stuff to do then there is no help for you my friend.

Iknow how he feel, but not with Skyrim, I quit Oblivion after 5hours maybe?
It was my first TES
I bought GOTY in September, to get alittle know how of things before Skyrim came out, but I just could not play it, I got into my first major town, and couldn't figure out where to sell my stuff, certain traders only specialize in certain trades, this I didn't understand cause I came straight from Fallout, thinking it would be the same, but it wasn't, but now after investing possibly 500 hours, i'll pick up Obvlivion and try it!

Once I understood how Oblivion's leveling system worked, I made a warrior and beat the main quest. Then I stopped playing, but there was probably 50-75 of experimentation before I reached that point in oblivion.

wait are we talking about 70 hours total or 70 hours on one toon? if its 70 hours on one toon then ok i can agree, because my toon has pretty much done most of which can be done in almost exactly that time with no fast traveling, its its 70 hours total...well have fun in oblivion, because i am as well having fun in morrowind and oblivion, and lettign skyrim gather dust. great game but with abundance of handholding and not near the content of story as the older games, eh i came, i conquered, and stayyyyy way past the time i should have in the game. Its a fun game but it lacks the finesse of the rpg touch the older games have.
