Right now I'm sitting at 135 hours played. I think I might have a problem.

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.

141 hours. That's a huge amount for me since I don't play nearly as many games as I used to. Though most of that was over the break and the first couple weeks the game came out (I marathoned it and played 25 hours the weekend it came out). For me, a lot of time is usually around 20-30 hours for a game. The only other games I've played over 20 hours since I started university are SC2, Saints Row the Third, Plants Vs. Zombies (I play that on my laptop during breaks at school) and Civ 4. Every other game I put like 3-4 hours into, get a huge amount of work at school, then don't feel like going back when I'm finished said load of work. Hence why I seldom buy new games.
But then again, put it this way, my brother, who basically never plays games outside of sports games and shooters, saw me playing Skyrim, thought it looked neat, bought it, and now has over 100 hours put into it. The only other game he's ever put even remotely that much time into is KOTOR, which he bought off my recommendation since he likes Star Wars. He specifically asked if Skyrim was like KOTOR and I said not really other than you can create a character, level them up and explore a whole bunch.
70 hours on my main character, about 15 on my first character who I eventually scrapped, then another 7 or so hours on some Mage I made but got bored with. I am almost at my burn out point I believe, though. Mostly because I think I have discovered every location on the map and "cleared" anything clear-able which is where my love for the game was. I am close to finishing up the achievements though, so I think I will do that (though I hit a game breaking bug with First Lessons and I refuse to kill a random NPCs to fix it).
65 hours between three characters. Sometimes I feel so drawn in, and then other times I just want to spit the Bethesda taste out of my mouth for a week. I think I just want driven, linear experiences anymore. The only part of the game that I thought was interesting was the Thieves Guild, and that was actually very interesting. I still haven't tried the Dark Brotherhood, but from what I can tell 65 hours is probably around the peak Skyrim time for me.
Just completed the platinum trophy for Skyrim on PS3. Took about 180 hours. 20 hours of that was actually only 4 hours of play, because the frame rate was pretty bad.
I think I'm done with it until DLC comes out. I really loved the main questline, mages and daedric quests but wasn't a fan of the other questlines. The Thieves Guild was the worst of the lot, and half the time you were acting no different to the Dark Brotherhood. The inventory management became a real pain after a while. Overall loved the game, but maybe overstayed my welcome a bit.
For what it's worth, I think I prefer Oblivion. Landscapes and cities had more variety and the questlines were better. Technologically Skyrim blows it out of the water, but Oblivion was more interesting in my opinion.
Bought it Christmas day and I've put 119 hours into since then. Only major quest series I've completed so far is the Thieves Guild, and I'm only maybe halfway through the main quest. I don't know what I've been doing during those 119 hours.
Roughly 35 hours. I did beat the main quest, but I'm having a hard time staying engaged and finishing the various side quests I have left.
About 80 hours over the course of a week or so of playing. I think I've gotten everything I wanted to out of the game.
@SirOptimusPrime: That's exactly how I feel about the game. I get sucked in for an hour or so, and then a confusing, difficult dwarven ruin, well, ruins everything! Give me a focused 12 hour game instead of a sometimes sloppy, sometimes fun 100 hour game any day.
it would be over 100 if i didnt have a stupid bug on the pc version where i cant play with my xbox controller
-___-
yes i know i could use mouse and kb but my prefrence for that game is controller
