How much of your life will you waste playing Skyrim? : V

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:08 pm

Assuming you play 3 hours a day, it would take you 4.5 years to break 5000 hours (if my math is right). I think I just about hit 4000 on Morrowind.

I know the hour categories seem a bit varied, but it's intentional, I tried to break it up into common gaming groups. 0-100 is the action gamer/casual gamer who's trying out TES. 101-300 is the casual gamer TES fan. 301-1000 is a TES fan who enjoys this type of game. 1000-5000 is the hard-core RPGer/TES fanatic. 5001+ hours, is just in case.

I will not waste any time playing Skyrim. It is not a waste if I enjoy it.

All of it. Well at least until TES:VI comes out. :biggrin:

15 hours a day, 2 days a week. You do the math, I'm too lazy.

A lot, ... seriously

On a different note, this is just amazing

If by waste you mean enjoy thoroughly, then.. A LOT.

At least 250 hours. That's how much I put into Fo3.

301-1000h of well placed time. (Oblivion 750h and should be close to 1000 when Skyrim comes out.)

I will not waste a sec...

The question should be: "How much of your life will you waste NOT playing Skyrim"

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 1:21 pm

time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted.

In oblivion I invested 245 hours of my time :l

where is the "All of it" section?

It's just below the broken poll option.

I can't really say how many hours I will put in to Skyrim, I would easily say I have over 2000 hours clocked on Morrowind and around 300-500 on Oblivion but it all comes down to how much I like the changes in Skyrim and if the game has enough content to keep me entertained.

More than 1000 hours, and more than half of it spent in Construction Kit.

as much as I want and no time is wasted time mate

even if you just sit in ur chair doing nothing millions of organisms are still living and dieing on, in, and near you, your mere presence is a cog in the great machine of the universe.

0-100 hrs is about usual for an action game for me
100-300 hrs is about usual for strategy games
300-500 hrs is about usual for Elder Scrolls games
5000-10000 hrs is about normal for online FPS games

So around the 400 hr mark would be nice for Skyrim. Obviously mods contribute greatly to replayability though, so we'll see.

I reckon about 5 years or so, until The Elder Scrolls VI comes out.

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:32 pm

I voted 5001+ but I don't see it as time or life wasted. Just fun. :celebration:

Egg Zak Lee.

As for amount of time playing. OB was the most I ever played a game, with about 320 hours over 10-12 weeks. Also I spent quite a bit of time reading about and searching for mods. At least a dozen hours, probably a lot more.

As for SR my goal/hope is at least 200 hours over 2 months.

300-500 as I did with Oblivion with multiple characters. Considering I'll spend these gaming hours in 4 or 5 years, I don't think it's that much, it's reasonable for a game of this scope.

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:43 pm

When I played Oblivion it was a good 12 to 15 hours a day for two weeks that I completely forgot about the outside world. I have played the game 5 times now every file being a good 400 hours plus. Same with Fallout 3, Morrowind I have only played once that took about 200 plus hours. :user:

Life? I'm not going to have one of those for a week or two after release...
