Okay so how side tracked do you get, when playing skyrim?
i do big time..
just now I was going to town to see if I can find a pickaxe(area i was about to go in had some ore for me to mine)
and I came back 20 minutes later with some dragon armour. no pickaxe

every time i see a mine i have to go in, lol

well this being a TES game, it would be more appropriate to list the times we didnt get sidetracked.

I often get sidetracked trying to get the game to run properly and installing mods to make it better.

ADD all day man. [censored] to go from one building thats two steps away take me prob ten minutes mini :celebration:

You have a quest, keep walking, keep walking, keep wal--- Hey shiny object. Pretty much sums it up for me.

There's a Main Quest?!

I love picking flowers, butterflies and hunting things...

I have to make it a point to follow through with at least one task, before I allow myself to get side tracked. My list of quest is endless. I'm level 47 and just starting the Dark Brotherhood. I haven't even started the Thieves Guild, Companion, or Mages quest yet. Did I mention I just brought the horn back to the Grey Beards? LOL

I have to force myself to stay on task at times. I'll be hoofing it from one hold to the next or off to a specific place for a quest and sport a tower that catches my eye or a marker on the compass I can't seem to pass up. Then there is my mage's companion Illia, who every so often will tempt me by going "Oh look, a cave! I wonder what's inside."

By the time I clear said cave, or fort or what have you, I have to think about what I was originally attempting to do and then try to go on.

I get very very sidetracked. Been trying to collect the ice shouts for 3 days now but I end up doing other things haha.

Of Course I get side tracked isn't that the whole point Lol
I love exploring and very seldom stay on the road.
that's a great think about Skyrim you do what you what, even if that changes from time to time ( means getting side tracked ) Lol
