Hello, I am doing a research concerning the succesfulness of games. For this I really need input from the players! Therefore I would really appreciate it if you would answer the next questions in your post. Thanks a lot


1) How many hours per week do you,on average, spend playing the game?
A. 0-15
B. 15-30
C. More than 30h

2) How challenging do you experience the game?
A. Easy
B. Medium
C. Hard

3) Which of the following features (if any) do you experience in the game?
A. In-game rewards are presented in random intervals
B. Not playing for an extended period has negative consequences
C. The game is based around social interaction
D. Competitiveness

1. B
2. A ( I play on master 90% of the game.)
3. A and B.

:3

A on everything, though the difficulty is very hard to define simply because enemies are either waaaaay too easy or waaaay too difficult, such as ancient dragons and arch-mages. When it IS difficult it's not a satisfying level of difficulty though, but rather a frustrating one that just leads to pot spam, hence I vote easy.

Well, hello to you too.

I am doing research on researchers.

You forgot to tell us whether your research is done
- for commercial gain
- for academic achievement
- for competitive insights
- for other reasons

You also forgot to tell us, whether you
- represent Bethesda
- represent a competitor
- represent a commercial market research company
- represent an academic institution
- represent something else
- represent only yourself

Allow me to give a little bit more information .

I don't represent anyone, I represent myself and it is for a school project.

Thanks for the posts so far

1. A
2. B
3. Well ... None of the above? :/

1. A
2. A
3. None.

Prehapes making it a poll. And have more options and questions

1 - B

2 - B

3 - Do you know what game this is? None of the answers really fit.

Your school project is gonna fail, no offense.. but this is hardly a research.

1. A
2. A (I play the game to have fun, not get killed over and over.)
3. A and C (though social interaction is forced interaction with NPCs)

1. A. (haven't played in a really long time)
2. A, on normal difficulty.
3. None of these, to the best of my recollection.

You are asking in the Skyrim forum. Are you asking specifically about playing Skyrim?

In regards to Skyrim:

1. A
2. A (playing on Master difficulty, but I would rate the game play as comfortable, with zero frustration or unsolvable challenge).
3. E - none of the above.

The first one could possibly fit in certain cases, but the rest are present only in multiplayer games, which Skyrim is not.
I have a question, however. By "social interactions" do you mean interactions with other human beings (real people) or NPCs? For me it's always the former, but I could be mistaken.

As for your first question, consider that the game was released 7 months ago. If you had asked in December, you would have found many players putting into it 30+ hours weekly, but now it's too late - those who played addictively have probably moved on to other games by now.

1. A
2. B
3. A

I would like to thank everyone for their replies so far Would really appreciate some more!
