Time wasted?
Probably a few 1000 if I was heavily Role-playing. 100-200 If I didn't bother
Lets see since I walk everyplace I go, and rarely fast travel I will say never.
yeah the first time I played Skyrim I spent most of my time reveling at the small details and just exploring aimlessly. Now that I've taken it all in I'm able to complete everything faster, but I do miss that first time I turned the game on, and everything was new, and there were so many mysteries. Can't wait to buy Elder Scrolls VI when it comes out in a year or two.
Yeah. All the time I spent on that game could have been spent doing something more productive. Especially when the game ended on the Dragonborn DLC. Not a very satisfying ending, which also contributes to my feeling that I wasted a lot of time on it.
Fun. Nothing is more productive than fun. Besides, you would never have found the forums otherwise
Being that I still play vanilla I would dare say yes. Thing is I have no problem with that as there are no other RPGs on the market that interest me.
Now I am one of those that say that an TES game never ends. The modding community keeps pushing us to new adventures.
For the longest time I was a drifter on these forums just reading things people had to say to learn the game a bit better. In truth I've been on here for a long time. The game was fun, yes, but after a while it got tedious and though the stories were enjoyable, I just can't get back into it. I tried to yesterday and I contemplated restarting for an eleventh time, but I thought: "What's the point? I need to find a temporary job soon and then I'm going to enlist in the Military, so I shouldn't be sitting on my butt anymore." Still haven't found a decent job yet though *sigh*.
Skyrim is not a game, it is a lifestyle.

Hundreds of fun character builds
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with another Elder Scrolls 2 years from now. seems like a reasonable amount of time.
I don't know.
I'll tell you when I finish more than just the mage's college. I'm at around 200+ hours right now.
I have played on and off since release, not done the DB, got all the artifacts or the masks.
Just the TG is an major task if you do the filler quests.
