300 hours seems like it'd be on par with the last few games these guys have done.

I put about that much time each into Morrowind and Fallout 3.

You can't.

You could report the OP and ask a mod to change to avoid the error from causing anyone to fly off the handle (considering the crowd on this board... <_< )

Why is everyone so surprised by the 300 hours thing? Have people not played TES games before?

They're the kind of RPGs you're supposed to play for 300 hours +. Not your generic story-driven action-RPGs like Mass Effect, Fable or the Witcher. Bethesda don't fool around.

Bethesda makes worlds....not just games. :) It takes a long time to explore a world. :tes:

300 hours is good. Morrowind had way more than that but was annoying, Oblivion had around half to 2/3rds of it, and Fallout 3 only had like 60 hours. Skyrim having 300...yes. Good. Very good.

It says 300 hours to do EVERYTHING in the game. Which seems about right i guess. What that essentially means is that one character -can- last 300 hours but you'll probably be at max level at about 150-200 hours and wont level up after and just be doing the quest to get the quests done, which is [censored]. Oblivion said 200 hours to do everything, Ive never had a single character in oblivion last more then 100 hours. Now ive put over 1000 hours into oblivion and probably over 2000 for morrowind, but you gotta remember that one character doesnt do -EVERYTHING-. Even in morrowind ive never had a single character last more then 120 hours, though i have had characters last longer then oblivion's characters. So its good to know theres 100 more hours of replayabilty, which essentially can be 1000+ hours of gameplay. As ive said, ive clocked in alot of hours in both games, but ive done every quest a numerous amount of times, depending on my character build and what guilds i join and who my character is.
I also hope one character cant join the dark brotherhood, thieves guild, mages guild and fighters all at the same time, OR the guilds at least have skill requirements to advance (like in morrowind).
