I couldn't tell you how many hours I have put in but I know its pretty hardcoe.
I did play oblivion a little bit but I wasn't that good at it. I would usually get into a spot and die. Skyrim compared to oblivion is like Steak to a happy meal. You really can't compare them. I didn't play any other elderscrolls game and I know Ive probably missed out on a whole lot of the story and content of those older games. But I hope to go back and play them later on.
I am a huge fallout fan so I am aware of the greatness of Bethesda Softworks.
Just wanted to drop a little note to say thanks for a epic game My family loves it.
