I couldn't agree more. When I saw the title of this thread, I had to shake my head. I can't recall a time on the Morrowind or Oblivion forums where the phrase "I beat the game" was so prevalent in forum culture until now. That and what appears to be a dumbing down of the game difficulty. Makes getting the console driven achievement reward system easier to achieve I suppose.

It also seems this is the strategy Bathesda is taking to attract the younger gamers. Games like these are becomming increasingly less of a thinking game, and more of a point/click, hack and slash. These are my biggest pet peeves with the turn Bethesda has taken in mass marketing a classic PC RPG to the console market. At least as a PC player, I can still look forward to modding the game....

if 300+ hours of Dragon filled lands with infinite amounts of quests is boring..then call me Mr. Boredom!

I rushed the 2 main quests which made me get bored quickly but I expected it. The game is full of other fun stuff to do and replays, just have to wait until I can get back in and find something interesting. Still many dungeons to explore, but for now, break. Give it time and you will come back. Not to mention, mods..

Well, after apparently playing non-stop FOR 5 DAYS, this is kind of what you should expect for the fast traveling/cheating/hacking/slashing approach style it seems you've adopted towards your game play. It's called game play fatigue.

I'd recommend Medieval 2 Total war or Micrsoft Age of Empires if you want to mindlessly mass anhilate the population. But you might also end up hating those, since these classic strategy PC games lack achievements for "beating the game" , their graphics are dated technology, poorly designed for social global networking, and so aren't exactly up to par with your exacting standards for the 21st century

If you've been playing the game for as much as you've indicated, then I'd recommend you depart the fantasy realm for at least 24 hrs and try interacting with REAL organics irl. A lot of things have happend in the real world since you cloistered yourself in Skyrim!

OP: Nope.

Then play something else.

lol too bad , there are a couple of kids in Skyrim id love to feed to the dragons, that annoying Whiterun Jarls kid , with the licking my dads boots comment and the girl that keeps trying to pick a fight ..lol

Replying only to the question posed in the title of this topic:

Resoundingly - no. This is a marvelous game.... those with imagination should never be bored with it.

Seems to me the issue is that the quests aren't that great, but the world is a fun dynamic-ish sandbox. So you make a character to be powerful in the sandbox because weak quests make it hard to role play. But then you get ungodly powerful really fast... so then the sandbox gets less fun because there isn't much point in getting more powerful when you are already without any challenge. So now I'm at the roleplaying, wing-my-own-story stage with a gimped character. I can see how it could be boring and I hope it doesn't get that way for me. My bro got bored I think when he started 1-hitting everything around lvl 30 and stopped playing.

Maybe try a more difficult setting, rather than playing on novice...

My answer, as someone whose first real attempt at any Elder scrolls game is Skyrim? Absolutely Not Boring. 248 hours in and i'm only just starting to get bored... and i blame that on *Elder Dragon swoops down and eats him alive*......
*Loads save* That starting to happen if i wear my best armour. had to quick travel more than once and avoid certain locations as my armour is good, but not good enough.
Questlines - up til the fourth or so of the only repeatable Dark Brotherhood quest i wouldn't have agreed they were boring, but ok, one or two might end up being.
Role playing - Really want to try, first plan - No Dragons. Whiterun gets to worry about a war instead and i get to go join one of the smaller cities as a part-time adventurer. might do stormcloaks vs. imperials if one side annoys me enough.

I definitelly don't find it boring. I've got over 100 hours in, I've finished the main quest, all of the primary companions quests, all of the primary Dark Brotherhood quests and all Thieve's Guild quests. Not to mention every Daedric quest. I've still got the entire mages guild to go. I'm only level 47 and this is only my first character. Even after all of that time, I ALWAYS feel like I have something to do. If I get bored: WEREWOLFMODEACTIVATED

I agree, it is kind of boring, and the general quests can be dull. The world itself is actually good, although the tops of some mountains are not solid in places.

Trekking is becoming less fun though, I've done loads of that, the reason it's becoming less fun is because of the way the random spawns works, something always spawns in a set location, it could be hostile or not. Random things happen but what happens is just taken from a limited pool of options.

I agree the exact opposite of boring. I'm having constant wows myself.

Boring?

If you find Skyrim to be boring, please list some games that you find interesting. Because if there are more interesting games than this one, I definately want to play those too!

The fact that it's ai kicks in to creates quests bores me.

Play as a mage. Doing so gives a much greater challenge(don't change the difficulty!). I find that as a warrior , the game is WAY too easy.
Also explore and don't fast travel. In my experience fast travel, do quest, fast travel back can make the game a lot less fun. I remember some of my favorite times are the random encounters and the special locations(like deadric shrines).
Also dragons will not be so easy as a spell-slinger.

I actually found myself taking breaks from Oblivion a whole lot more than I am in Skyrim. I have been playing Skyrim everyday and am currently at 180 hours played time on 1 character. Haven't even touched the civil war or main quest. Only thane of 2 cities, not to mention I only have 3 masks and only 2 daedric artifacts.

Oblivion was a whole lot more boring to me; mainly because those stupid portals became so repetitive:
Go in, kill Daedra, grab the stone and teleport out. So very very boring.

Anyways; I am loving Skyrim. I also can't wait for the construction kit to come out.

EDIT:
I absolutely hate the repetitive quests (the ones that never end like the Thieves Guild). I wish they would have just kept them out. Who in their right mind thinks that adding these gives Skyrim more content? I just hate that I have to look up online to see if there is something I get out of doing a certain amount because they kill me from the inside while I do them.

Personally it makes more sense to me than if you reached the top in dark brotherhood/companions/thieves guild/etc. and suddenly ran out of quests... it's not a repeat ad infinitum, it's a do if you get a bit bored/poor and want something to pass 10 minutes or so. I've found some pretty good gear by doing "Get this family heirloom back!" or "Kill this generic guy!"... plus it made me explore areas i would've ignored due to humans who wouldn't kill me being there... never was super-peaceful.

While I'm definitely an RPG guy first and love Skyrim and actually can't stand FPS, that nerd pseudo "cerebral" elitist drivel your spewing is a crock.

You don't have to be "smart" to play this game. None of these RPGs take that many neurons. It's really more about personality type. Are you more deliberate or do you like fast paced action? I actually don't object to fast paced or explosions but I can't play COD because those kids would kick my butt all over the map (I can't tell where anything is coming from. I fricken hate first person. Won't do it). I'd probably have rely heavily on the "Newb Tube"

I feel sorry for anyone that has to derive their self esteem (You're not SMART enough to play MY games) through a fricken video game. I mean really? REALLY??

Get out and meet some actual living breathing women.

Well I'll agree with you on the dialogue and that there isn't one character I give a crap about in the game other than mine (they're all just cattle) but I can't think of a Bethesda game in the past 7 years where that wasn't the case (well except New Vegas where I loved some of the followers but Bethesda didn't do the writing for that now did they).

So in other words, I didn't come in expecting to fall in love with my character and other people in the game like I do playing a Bioware game because writing isn't Bethesda's strength. I knew that coming in and if it was a deal breaker, I wouldn't have bought Skyrim in the first place.

Wow, I'm around 80 hours in, only level 34 and don't think I'm close to finishing the main quest. Come to think of it I haven't finished either of my guild quests either (Bard College and Companions.....what a combo LOL).

You've packed in a lot of stuff in the over 100 range (assuming you're in the neighborhood of a hundred as opposed to say 170).

Guess I'm a bit of a slow poke.

Nope i think you're a troll.

If you think of the world like rectangular map, a large part of it is "off limits," kinda like a map of our world with both land and oceans would be if it were impossible to sail the seas. Bethesda regularly marks off chunks of the worlds they create not with anything obvious like a stone wall fifty feet high, but with corridors you can travel through partitioned off with painted walls in the form of un-openable store fronts, houses and other buildings or, in Skyrim, just huge impassable mountains.

One of my main problems with Skyrim (apart from it being a petty console port) is that it's somewhat linear actually.
Don't believe me?
Fine, let's make a test!
Go and kill Graybeards and tell me how that went.
Or you know what?
Go and kill everyone in Solitude and tell me how that went.

Also, all dungeons are one-way tubes.
I even don't watch where I go while in a dungeon anymore since I know I'll end up where I want anyway.

Also, puzzles in the dungeons are pathetic.
I maybe ran into few puzzles which actually were fun (not challenging, just fun).

To sum it up; main problem of Skyrim is the fact that it's made for my mom.
