Played 34 hours in 4 days : V

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 9:58 am

It's great... I think I'm an addict... never played a game this much.

Anyway, 34 hours in, and I've done all the mage's guild missions and about the first ``act`` of the main quest and that's it. I'm level 24...

Am I slow or what? I'm playing an elf mage...

Only level 24 in 34 hours? That's kind of odd, but it's a good thing!

Am I slow or what?

Nope. That's just the way this game is played. There are another 40 hours (or more) waiting for you, and you'll love every second of them.

Some people tried to powerlevel and forgot the game was actually fun. I played it the way you did; it was great.

And I thought I was taking my time. Is there even 100 hours of quest content and exploration around Whiterun? Or are you walking a lot ?

34 hours not days.

Dude.... 34 hours is nothing

I am 90 hours in, 3 characters, never finished the MQ, no character higher than level 25 (I think).

If you're not in a hurry, like some people, the game is just fun :thumbsup:

Yeah I'm about 70 hours in. Became the leader of the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild. Haven't made much story progress. I think I'm in the middle of Act II. Level 35. I think I'm about to go hang out with the Companions for a while. I really liked Oblivion but I could never bring myself to play it for long and I never beat it, and I really felt like it was missing something. I think Skyrim found it.

I think you win TES :cookie:

I am the same way. I am 38 hours (Lvl 20) in and still basically in Whiterun. i am in no rush to do the main quest, I end up splitting time between skilling up and doing zones/dungeons. I don't know about how others handle dungeons, but I take the Indiana Jones approach. Explore, search, etc..

A lot for most games, average for Skyrim. If your level is less than the number of hours put in, it means you are exploring a lot. Cheers!! Enjoy!!

Just finished my first run (1st character) at 110 hours. Had a blast the whole time (minus bugs of course).

Final character level: 54

That's what I meant.

i played all day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, for the entire weekend after skyrim came out... so i played friday, saturday, and sunday... with barely any food or sleep.

...i was level 16 after all that, and im pretty much nowhere in any of the questlines... i only did the first quest for the companions and college, and im only as far as my first visit to high hrothgar in the main quest.

63 hour's, level 25, 81 locations and 4 cities Discovered/explored. Currently muddling through the insane amount of Misc. Quest's i seem to have picked up. Couldnt be happier

The best characters are the ones where you feel like you're never 'done'. Not after 34 hours, not after 340 hours.

It depends.

With my brainless orc, I just charge blindly brandishing my axe and killing everything that moves. Then I ask questions.

If I go with my wood elf assassin, I move in the shadows and kill my targets methodically, with maximum precision and minimum effort. Then I hide their corpses.

If I go with my mage, I have to investigate the artifacts, read the books, study the history, the architecture and the life forms that inhabit the place. Then I take all the books and interesting artifacts home, where the biggest library and the most powerful artifacts of Skyrim lie.

However, after 3400 hours it may be time to call it a day... so to speak.

I'm lvl 42 with 105 hours played, i haven't joined any side in the civil war, didn't play most of the Dark Brotherhood, Thiefs Guild, didn't play the Mages College or the Companions and i only played 4 quests from the Main quest.

Oh.
