I'm trying to make the first playthrough last as long as poss, 114 hours in now and still only finished Mage and companions.

Level 22 on PS3 and loving the game! I have had a few slowdowns but nothing bad. Best game I played in years!

Just finished the MQ after 131 hours using a Breton female Mage. Have not touched the companions/thief/DB guild
quest lines or being a vampire / werewolf. Generally all round good character.

Gonna go for 2nd character who will probably be a Dunmer and being totally evil using only sneaking styles.
She'll be a vampire at some point, im not sure, have to see how it goes.

Then after that, will go for 3rd char who will be a male Nord, pure fighter type, like the titular Skyrim mascot.
He'll probably be a werewolf.

Then again, once the mods arrives, i'll have contracted "Moderitis" the incurable disease of installing and uninstalling mods
to refine and perfect my Skyrim experience. I expect to spend over well over 900+ hours or more doing this.

Yes without a doubt Skyrim is my Game of the Year!

watch out for that save game file bloat there, hey chap

I'm at 50 hours. I still feel like I just got started. Loving it.

210+ hours in, still loving it too!

102 hours, I'm in my 4th character and I already have another 2 chars planned for subsequent playthroughs.

And to think the creation kit will be out in one month or two. This game is looking good to give several hundred hours of entertainment.

Me too. I've only play with one character for 290-300 hours of gameplay and I'm still impressed what more there is to discover in this awesome game. The in-game code puzzle in dozens of dungeons is one of many new features and the lockpicking is another. :tes:

skyrim is my goty no question (maybe even for the next couple years)

:tes:

Woot, same here! About 60 hours in and not even done exploring 2 full zones. Loving every second. The only bug I have encountered is the bookshelf bug, and thats not a gamebreaker to me. Otherwise..it rocks.

This. I'm 170 hours in and level 67.

Ditto. Great game 65 hrs in and level 26. Love the game.

Don't know how many hours I have played total. But I am liking the game more every time I play it, because I am finding new things each time I play it.

I believe I'm about 100 hrs into the game and I love the experience too! So glad to see some positive threads out there. I know forums are more likely to have bashing involved, but DAMN! The amount of stuff here makes me wonder what everyone else is playing...

This game is absolutely amazing. Super immersive. When I get home from school or work i love nothing more than to dim the lights to a low smoldering level, put a peice of fish in the oven, and then scoot up to a nice relaxing sjyrim session for several hours in the darkness.

well uhm... 300+ hours and still diving for more.
Modded the heck out if it already with probably over a dozen mods, probably 2 dozen if you count texture changes.

OH MY GOD!

4 pages and still no hatred driven derail!

i only played 60+ hrs. im waiting for some mods to come out. Its tempting to go back though! Im sure in 2 months time ill come back and itll be like a new game again.

Indeed!

SKyRiM defines this generation of gaming. It is a work of art!

+1. I don't have nearly as many hours in as a lot of you, but I have played it almost every day since it came out. Not the least bit bored and I still have huge empty areas of the map that I have not yet explored. Keep up the great work Bethesda.

I beat the game last night at 200 hours ( beat meaning all the trophies for the PS3 ). Took me 19 days to day it as well since starting. One of the best games I've played in a long time. I will continue to explore the map and do random quest.

you can't 'beat' an elder scrolls game : P

Ive played a bit almost every day (bar one or two) since release and im still loving it....very rare for me to get that these days

I played every single chance I had for 120 hours with a 19MB save. Then it stopped working on my PS3. I hope it gets fixed so I can make it 121+ hours.
