I find myself spending so much time on the forums here reading about all sorts of things. Discovering things I never knew, people ranting about how much they hate Skyrim, people talking about their arrow to the knee etc.

I get on Skyrim after being on the forums for a while but soon find myself getting off Skyrim and looking at the forums.

I love Skyrim, but am I starting to get bored of the game and getting on the forum for excitment? Am I depressed? Or is there really something missing in Skyrim that doesn't keep me on for hours at a time anymore?

I just cannot figure out this amazing but also in a way disappointing game.

[Camden Unglesbee]

Eventually when the forums die down you'll probably play skyrim more.

[Reven Lord]

Just play something else and lurks the forums for one or two days. Then you can play Skyrim for one day and then repeat the process. That way you will enjoy Skyrim without "burning" it because you played too much.

[remi lasisi]

What? I thought this was it. We are supposed to be doing something else?

[Jennifer Munroe]

That's gaming in 2011 for you. A lot of people spend significantly more time discussing games than they do actually playing them.

Or in this forum, complaining about them

[Stephanie I]

Nah, your just not very bright for having to ask that.

We both know the game is boring and that typing is more fun than playing Skyrim. Kinda like twitter or some rubbish. If Soul Calibur 5 was out I'd already have traded in the game without even finishing it just like Fall Out 3.

[SamanthaLove]

This is that time in the forums where it's very similar to that scene in Coming To America, where Akeem and Semmi are dating people and it's in a nightclub...in particular where this girl is just rambling on about how she wants to be a dancer and write screenplays and be an actress and direct and write her own songs and etc...Akeem and Semmi are just sitting there with blank looks on their faces. All those people that are complaining and asking and dreaming up new features to replace the current ones are that girl, and the rest of us are Akeem and Semmi.

I think you're getting old. And you want games which gives you thrill, like those games you played for the first time. Bad news, kinda all game genres are pretty much explored and you wont get that feeling when you playsomething for the first time, something not yet experienced. Good news, go play something competetive.

Also forums would also be boring if not all the drama. Drama what makes them exciting.

[stevie critchley]

Well, the forums will be negativity-filled for some time, that's till the haters give up hating or there's something new to hate.

Also, playing the game for moo many hours can get you bored.

[Rebecca Dosch]

Some people calling out the haters and complainers act as if these forums are just ruining lives. Give me a break. How the hell is that any better than the actual "hating"?

If you are enjoying the game so much then why on earth do you get so upset about the content on this forum....instead of just enjoying the game?

[phillip crookes]

I personally can't play for much more than 20 minutes or my eyes start to go wonky.

Really, what the [censored] are you talking about? [censored].

OT: Also, eyestrain. Something about the game makes me wince due to tense, watery eyes more than any other. I stop after a good bit of heavy combat a lot of the time (I think it might be the motion-blur).

Why u hurt my eyes bethesda? Why?

[Mandi Norton]

Well I dont know about you but for me im longing for more of the story to unravel and addons, but thats not a surprise since i have way more then 500 hours into the game. With every quest and objective completed at least once in game i have come to filling my game time with searching and exploring the many game exploits, like leveling to 15 before escaping into skyrim or getting Hadvar/Ralof to attack you durring the start of the game.

[Tarka]

I spend more time here than playing the game. The forums aren't prone to crashing and flipping out.

Unless you count bethesdas hack attempt...

[Jessica Phoenix]

Put it down for a few days. I haven't played since saturday so i'm only on the forums at work when I'm bored, or pooping.

Have you read any of the threads on the forums?

Yes, the blur (Or is it HDR? I don't know the technical names) is very high. I can "get over it", but I also can see why you dislike it.

[Hayley Bristow]

I miss skyrim now...

[Jessie]

The forums is our PvP arena.

[IM NOT EASY]

I love Skyrim, but am I starting to get bored of the game and getting on the forum for excitment? Am I depressed? Or is there really something missing in Skyrim that doesn't keep me on for hours at a time anymore?

I just cannot figure out this amazing but also in a way disappointing game.

I guess I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I browse the forums when I'm on break at work and unable to play. I read all the rants and complaints, agree with some, and shake my head in disgust at others.

When I get home, I start the game and shortly find myself immersed in the land of Skyrim following and creating the adventures of Estus the Orc Dragonborn. Before I am aware of it, 2 hours have passed and I have to force myself to shut the game Down.

I don't believe the game is perfect, and I really couldn't comment on if it's GOTY worthy, but Skyrim has totally svcked me in even with over 100 hours of gameplay on my first play through and with 100s more hours of play possible.

I play only a couple hours a day now. The game still very fun to me, nice world to look at, hack and slash once in a while and running around doing quest BUT it is repetitive and unlike some past rpg I've played there's very little emotional connection that tie me to the game so I too lurk this forum like you to try to connect with other gamers. I usually ignore the complaint threads (I've read them at first but after a week whatever need complaining has all been said and it's all just repetition now), read some funny threads/pic of others characters and [snip]. In the end I'm just trying to connect with other gamers
