60,000+ Lines. In comparison, New Vegas had 65,000 lines, Oblivion had 35,000 I believe.

Doesnt matter if it is 40 or 60k of words, that is a heck of a lot. If it is lines, wow.

In case you are wondering how long this is in book terms, the average book is 80-120k words, but keep in mind a lot of a book is made in transitiion phrases. Dialogue does not necessarily need this as you are there, you dont need to describe the environment.

Ah, you beat me to it!
But yes, 60,000+ lines of dialogue in Skyrim.
