If you are on XBOX or PS3 I guess your character level must be legit? Feel free to post an image for boasting.

My Nord Warrior on PC is 81, took me over 250 hours to reach 81.

What's your highest leveled character and that character's played hours?

Yngol Storm-Blade 300+ hours then killed by Nazeem. he was level 81

Highest level= http://minus.com/mZw7t4VFbfk0R 140+ hours played.

Across 36 characters and 3700 hrs, none have ever been past level 65. That is because I specialize all of them and only my Assassins get that far, as they utilize the most skills. Other characters usually cap out around level 42 or so.

The most hrs invested in a single character is just over 300.

My one character since release, 364 hours, and he is level 65.

3 characters times ~650 hours (each).
Most run out of stuff to do around level 75...
I got one guy to level 84 thanks to Legendary skills.

New guy - coupla hundred hours.
He has done NOTHING but Thieves Guild until he was level 40!
Still plenty of game to go, for him.
Steam says ~2600+ hours (total).

right now i'm level 36 and steam says i've played 286 hours (it must include my old skyrim characters (about 4 others)).
