I love TES. Most people who love TES play for hours at a time. Not me.

Today, I put Skyrim in my disc tray planning on playing my thief and heard the Skyrim theme tune... I played as my Nord who had just been to see the Greybeards.

So my session went like this, I went down High Hrothgar, cleared a nearby cave. Killed the Cultists from the Dragonborn DLC in Ivarstead. Killed many bandits and necromancers on the way to Ustengrav. I stopped in Whiterun to see the Jarl and sell some supplies. Then, I made my way to Ustengrav, clearing a dungeon and killing bandits on the way. I cleared the first two rooms of Ustengrav before calling it a day. I enjoyed every second of that session and was totally immersed in the world. I played for an hour and 45 minutes.

I know for a fact that there are people who play for 12 hours a day who aren't as immersed as I am when I play.

So yeah, Skyrim is still amazing! I swore to myself when I got the game a day before release that I wouldn't stop enjoying it for a long time, and I still do. And Oblivion, and now Morrowind! So yeah! How about all of you guys? Do you play in long or short sessions and how does the amount of time you play for affect immersion?

I do that sometimes. For example.

I have a big quest that is sending me from Riften to say, Falkreath. I will travel there on foot and run into several distractions along the way. It may actually take me several "sessions" to reach and complete my original objective. A cave here, a bandit fort there, etc. It adds up so that if I only have about an hours time to play, I still was able to do something "productive" with my time. Sometimes it's even as simple as a crafting session where I'll just craft items to make money or to increase my skills.

Atleast 15 hours a day. Immersion level over 9,000

I had a mis-click incident during dialogue with a certain dog/statue and so accepted a quest my character didn't have any intentions of doing. Rather stupidly chose not to reload as I thought I would just ignore it for a bit, however I was soon reminded about a certain aspect of that quest I had forgotten about that is beyond annoying. A quick half hour fast travel session (and I NEVER use FT normally) interrupted by the usual dragon fight on using FT and the dog is gone now.

Most productive and theuraputic gaming time I've had in awhile.

And to think, I want to get this character to a high level so I can fight the high level dragons added by the Dawnguard DLC.

Thank the Nine I don't have a life.

Depends on my mood.

Sometimes I don't wanna play skyrim so I go into Oblivion or Morrowind (I've been playing morrowind like crazy atm).

The longest I've ever played skyrim was like 4 hours or so.

I don't have a life either. I have many
