Three months later - are you still playing?

Barely put it down. Still got to complete the Mage's college questline among others.

Waiting for my SSD to show up tomorrow, as my Caviar Green 2TB likes to not load new areas if I stay put long enough for it to spin down (which is like 3 minutes). After a clean install of Windows 7 and Skyrim (as well as my favorite mods) I'll be up and running again.

I got it on day one, I stopped playing it last month cause it became a repetitive, unbalanced, unrewarding mess.

Played almost every day since release here. What I find most shocking is that with mods the game just keeps getting better. Several of them give the game a completely different feel. From epic battles to new magic spells and even adding new perk trees (unarmed!) if anyone is playing on the pc and hasn't checked out any mods yet... I'd urge you to try some.

I'd be interested in knowing which mod(s) in particular will give those epic battles...which do you recommend? I really like epic battles. :smile: Thanks!

Picked it back up after patch 1.4 and release of HD textures and Creation Kit. This is finally becoming a proper PC game again and I am loving every second of this new playthrough.

Put Kingdoms of Amalur and SW:TOR on hold without any regrets to play the game in its current state, and cant wait to get properly started with the Creation Kit. This game is quickly becoming my favourite game of the past years with all new mods and updates being released.

Don′t regret sticking with the series since Daggerfall and I certainly think this is one of the most immersive Elder Scrolls games released so far when running it on a good rig. The next months are going to be exciting, can′t wait to see what more people will make.

Wars In Skyrim IV is supposed to be pretty good. It has multiple versions depending on the difficulty and has gotten the most endorsed mod over the last few weeks.

I was averaging about 7-9 hours per day since release. However, in the past week or so, I've cut back a little, to about 5 hours per day.

Probably because my 3 characters have started to get the same quests within a day of each other - and as much as I love dungeon-crawling, doing the same dungeons/quests 3 times in a row is boring.

So, I've downloaded a new mod for D2/LOD that's really interesting - a complete redo of everything (Goodgle Brother Laz and Median XL if you're interested).

So, my schedule is playing D2/LOD in the morning; Skyrim for about 4-5 hours after lunch, and some more D2/LOD in the evening.

Must maintain balance lol. Of course, as soon as D3 is released, D2/LOD is history.

+250hrs and still playing. I've not gotten to the Civilwar quest line (may never play it) but have played out most of the other quest lines.

Still fun - (although getting a bit repetitive)

The visuals in Stereoscopic 3D along with 5.1 sound is what keeps me coming back for more!

Best playtime/cost game I've ever got!

Bought it roughly 1 month after release, stopped plying due to a quest bug(Nighingale?). Started a new playthrough, killed that glorified flying bear named Alduin, tried doing side quest but had to stop playing to save my mind from melting. A gagillion fetch quest is not a good thing, nor is being able to be the Arch Mage of Winterhold even though my char isint a Mage.

Repetitive mindless killing is the best way to describe Skyrim. Perfect for kids, not so much for advlts. Should have been rated E, not M.

Still playing and will keep playing. Heck, if I played oblivion(!) for 5 years my bet is that you will find me here 2016 :)

I bought it a week after release and am still playing it on my first character. I've been interspersing the main quests with side and misc quests and have clocked up about 280 hours. I've done all the guilds with the exception of the DB whom I will destroy this time and join on my next playrthrough.

Skyrim is my first proper play of any TES game and I've learned a lot in this play which I will bring to my next playthrough.

I agreed that my last character would be my last till the DLC comes out... that went out the window when I started another NEW character and now I am addicted again.

I just started fresh, because of all the updates that came out, along with the DLC.

I'm back into just as hard as before. Now it's time for along run.

I've been playing since the 11th November - how many of you have had it from the first day and are still playing three months later?
Still playing from launch, haven't even touched mods yet either. I've completed every quest and found every dungeon / poi... I think.

Still playing. Still haven't used the fast-travel function on a single character.

Started at 18 November and still playing. With the mods and DLCs/expansions, I think I won't stop until TES6 :biggrin:

Played since release. I'm at the 462-hour mark. I find it hard to pick back up, but I'm extremely satisfied. That's a LOT of play time for the money, and I enjoyed it a great deal. I'll consider a new character when DLC comes out.
