There are Acts in this game?

Anyway, I'm 34 and not even too far into the main quest. Been trying to get good at melee'ing first

I'm like level 9. I have yet to visit Boston.

I have a job and kids, and can only get in so much playtime at night. Mainly because of Rocket League.

Having a job really means nothing. It's what you have at home that will get you.

I think I am at Level 6 right now. Just made it to Silver City, but I may have gotten farther in the map than I was supposed to at this level.

I know. I didn't mean it in that way, just the way the guy worded it - seemed like he was saying anyone with 80 or more hours is a no-life.

I'm 20 with no kids and a girlfriend that doesn't live with me, so I couldn't begin to imagine. Can't say I want to

Jobs are for svckers. Retired at 25.

Level 20, and I think I'm closing in on the main quest, already been to glowing sea, etc. But now spending a little more time doing side quests before the end of the main.

I'm level 46. I've beat the main story and right now I'm going around collecting Bobbleheads.

I want to do the question with the USS Constitution if I still can. Then I'll build up my settlements and get to rank 50. Then I'll make a new character.

Level 30, 60 hours in.... 20 of them spent on settlements

level 7 just arrived at diamond citiy, have to find the detective, but i'm doing side quests and exploring

Level 30(ish) with a metric [censored] ton of stuff left to do

No offense intended. I used LOL, "sorry" and a bit of self deprecation with regard to my own excess - thought I was being light-hearted.

It's a matter of degree, I suppose. For me, over 20 hrs raises some eyebrows in my circles. Over 100 would earn lectures and a time out. ;P

Level 42, 7 main quests complete. I think I'm half way through that, but I've probably discovered every major side quest, with 10 active to do. Probably discovered 50-75% of locations but only actually cleared half of them

Level 30 with 37 hours for my character. While the game seems based largely on settlement building and lacking on quite a few RPG elements, something I thought I'd hate, I'm loving it. Much more enjoyable than Skyrim and beating Fallout 3 for me. I still feel like I'm not a quarter of the way through the main stuff in the game, so it's great.

Holy [censored]. Yall make me sad that I have a job.. I have been playing as much as possible and I'm only maybe 30 hours in, level 21 right now..

Anyone with over 80 hours must not have a job and family lol.

This thread seems to be about taking shots at other people's lives without knowing the circumstances. Can't get a job? Health problems? Taking a few days off? Social issues, and this no friends to see? No family because they're young? Maybe some of you need a little more thinking before speaking.

The only things really missing from the game for me is the interesting and unique side quests and the dark humour. I mean, there's some, but it's missing some Fallout elements in the same way Skyrim missed Elder Scrolls elements. But I'm not as big a Fallout fan as Elder Scrolls so it doesn't really bother me.

Level 26. Still haven't been to the Glowing Sea. Have a good bit of side quest and exploring to do. I pretty much decided to wait to finish the main quest until I'm at least level 40 or get bored with my charcter.

Level 22 here. Been exploring mostly. Done some quests here and there but mainly focused on crafting and just checking out the, eh....not too dangerous parts. Did a restart after 10 hours or so, I still have 1/3 of the exterior left to check out, and perhaps like 9/10 of the interiors.

I also did a restart after about 10 hours. I'm about 19 hours into my second character and enjoying my game much more.

Just dinged 30 here. I have no idea how many hours I've put in so far (PS4) but I've been playing a lot, hours upon hours. Yes I have no life and I don't care, that's what old age and retirement are for, to do what you want when you want with no one to answer to, heh.

I'm up to the Hunter/Hunted main quest, spend lots of time on developing my settlements, and doing faction and side quests, and exploring.

Great game, it's been a blast so far with some memorable moments.

Oh my geez, How are you all up in the mega levels? This game has been out just over a week.

However, since I bought this on release day. I am level 16 and I have a hell of a lot to do (I like to take my time in the main story with Bethesda games) I have more junk materials than I know what to do with however.

Take your time. Take in the sights. Explore. Discover

I have a full-time job and I'm at 52 hours. Working a full-time job means (1) you don't have to live in your parents basemant and (2) you still get about at least 30+ hours a week to play.

Two characters both at level 8. I've deleted a couple that weren't working out. I spent a couple of days learning to build, but I like to take the game slow. Very, very slow.

I'm level 25. I have done a few quests for Preston and his Minutemen and a few for the Railroad. I haven't even met the BoS yet. I've progressed the main quest up to where it sends me to the far south-west of the map. I'm mainly just wandering round and exploring, taking on quests from random strangers. I'm loving it so far

Same here, I just hit lvl 16 and I've logged at least 30 hours. I wander, loot everything, lug it back, work on my base and so on.

Already beat the game on one character, and ended at level 40 or so. I am 32 on my new one and i have plenty of stuff to do yet. Just exploring the world and finding tons of new quests etc. Gonna go for atleast 50 before i close down the main quest this time.
