I think that generally people are bored of a game when there are no challenges left or nothing to explore and discover.
So this is what you can do to avoid getting bored easily:
1 | Don't ever use any fast travel (and I don't count the carriage as fast travel).
With this way, the experience of exploring and discovering new things will be a much more enhanced experience.
2 | Create a story for yourself while you play, live a little in the game. Go out hunting in the woods with your best friend Faendal, maybe you manage to kill a moose for dinner.
We call this role playing, and many might be intimidated by the idea but don't be afraid. Give it a try, for the only thing that can stop you is the lack of imagination. There is endless of possibilities.
3 | Play the game without using any healing. Because without restoration spells and healing potions, life can be much more challenging.
This way you will get a greater challenge and the choices you make will be more significant. You may have to run more often or hide, depending on your skill. But it will be so much more exciting.
4 | Give yourself an even greater challenge, play as a mage without helpers (no summons, no lydia, no helpers at all). And take no points into health.
You may feel like glass but by using illusion, alteration with destruction, there won't be any lack of tools to destroy your enemies with, and it can present a new challenge for you.
But you may have just burned out, it happens. So it's probably better to try some other games and maybe take a trip to Skyrim later again when Dawnguard is out, perhaps?
So what advice would you give to people who feel they are bored in Skyrim?
