I'm expecting to see some crazy numbers here. Mine's a lot more moderate, if some-what short, being just past the 13 hour mark. How about you guys?

The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.
How many hours have you put into your main account?
Just over 60. I've finished with the Companions, just barely started the College, accepted the intro quest for Bards and Dark Brotherhood, haven't done anything with thieves or the Civil War. Oh and I need to get the horn of Jurgen somethingsomething. :D
Yes, I spend way too much time just messing around. I have concrete plans to do something, then an elk runs by. Apparently I like to hunt substantially more in Skyrim than I do in Arizona.
Mine is bad. I'm up to 90 hours now and you'd think I would have completed most of the main quests but nope. Did one quest for the companions; haven't yet joined the "mages guild"; have not yet been to winterhold, dawnstar, or riften; barely touched the main quest and only got as far as completing the initiation quest for the imperials for the civil war; cleared 10 dungeons and my character is level 39. The only thing I have to show for my time, game wise, is a high smithing and enchanting skill.
Before you say "wow dude you must have no life" just know that I'm doing this while having an awesome and understanding girlfriend, (putting 2 TVs in the living room, brilliant way to game and keep girl happy), and a steady well paying job. Just can't stop playing the stupid game. I wish it would get less awesome while I play it but it doesn't.
Around 60 hours on my new main guy. Only half way through companions and my OCD wont let me start any other guild till I finish this one.
Little over 50 hours, but I keep getting bored and remaking my guys. I usually get to around high teens low 20's and start a new guy out of boredom. Ironically after doing it 2-3 times I'm right back to the one I started with. I really dislike the combat in this game. It's ether super easy to the point that you one shot everything, stealth/archery, it takes so long to kill anything that youget tired of holding down attack, mage/demo build, or it's so boring and spammy that it's no fun at all, generic melee dude.
So after 50 or so hours I just said screw it and went with my Imperial Archery Ninja Lady build and am sticking to it. It's super OP, so I figured I would just use that to try and power through the game and see what there is to see and be done with it. The more time I put into the game the less spectacular it feels to me as I start to see behind the curtain more and more and see how things are really working on the back end instead of just viewing it as a living world.
118 Hours so far. Which seems like an average number. I'm expecting to put in another 50 hours with my current character before creating a new one.
89 on my main, A Nord, who's sitting at level 36. I should really start doing some more story quests with him -_-; I've been sinking some time into my Redguard with the civil war quests (21 hours) and switching to my Dark Elf Listener, for some Dark Brotherhood-ness (33 hours)
11 hours and 57 minutes.
Most of which has been spent roaming the land rather than questing; only done 4 or 5 side quests. As for story quests I've just gone up some stairs and learnt to 'balance'.
Hopefully that's vague enough to not spoil anything for new players while being descriptive enough for other players to know what I mean.
60 hours total. Haven't stuck to one character yet. Lost the first one to a computer malfunction, powered through with the second to finish the MQ and the guilds, and the third I just deleted because it wasn't grabbing me anymore. Waiting on next patch before I head back in and playing Divinity II while I wait.
Steam says 186 hours. I know I had 120 on one character I lost because of my own stupidity, and I had a few more I lost as well. My current character has about 30.
Current save is at 94 hours. But, I had to start over because I lost my first save, and lost around 47 hours of progress.
75, which would double were I not working full time/currently waiting on the next patch.
This would have to be the only environment such digits have been acceptable, housemate believes I should be institutionalised
45 hours, the visiting Greybeards was the last of my main quest I did, but I did get the achievement for doing over 50 misc quest.
95 hours.
Finished Thieves' Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Companions, Bard's College, College of Winterhold, and the Civil War. I'd be further but I've been barely playing it this week. Plus I'm at level 60.
38 hours so far. Finished the college of winterhold and the companions, I also joined the bards college. Barely started the main story though or the civil war. I could join the dark brotherhood or the thieves guild but haven't gotten down to it yet.
53 so far, though it feels like more. I started a new character today and immediately put 3 hours on them. I think I'll get my money's worth.
69, no didn't try for the number just how it ending at this point, kinda at a cross roads at whether I would go through more of the side missions or should I just run through the main.
