How many hours have you spent in Skyrim?

That does make me feel a bit better.

I keep telling myself, let's get this story quest going! But then I'm all like, let's head this way and see where it takes me...this is new, ah a new quest mission!

Repeat again and again. It's that adventuring mentality that just keeps me doing everything else except the main quest, lol.

That and the mods, the glorious mods.
 
500. 300 hours with my main character that I did everything with, I tried to have one completed save file, where I'd done everything. Then I wanted to try as a different character just to see how it would be. Boom, 200 more hours...
 
I'm surprised by the people who've spent more than 200 hours on the game.

I completed every named quest, about 85% of the misc. quests and found and cleared out every single location on the map in 147 hours (with about 5-8 hours of modding in that time as well).


What else did you people do?
 
Spent around 50 hours in the first two weeks after the release, finished the main quest, and then never touched it again because my backlog is too huge.
Was about to begin with the remaster, but the Switch announcement trailer made me postpone my second playthrough, since I believe my personal experience will be so much better with the portable possibility.
 
Probably about 200 hours. I've purchased the game on PS3, 360, PC, and have 18 hours on the Special Edition. I'm also buying it on Switch on day one. I can't imagine how it'll be to have this on a portable system where I can play at work...
 
Over 200 hours between PS3 and PC. Platinumed it on PS3 despite how terribly it ran and the ridiculous load times and crashes... just goes to show how much I loved the game when it came out that I stuck with it in spite of all that. One of my favorite games ever. Love that world.

Multiple builds seems like a reasonable answer.
 
Over 100 I think. It was the last game to get that many hours out of me. I finished it so much, I could find nothing but shitty infinite fetch quests.

The next closest was probably half of that many hours, with Bloodborne at 48 after my first completion.
 
Probably about 100. I really dove into the 360 version. Hence why I'm not getting the DE. I already did so much shit in that game.
 
~200 hours give or take on Xbox 360.

I got 1000/1000 achievements and cleared out almost the entire map of waypoints. I never did touch Hearthfire or the final DLC tho.

I'm intrigued to jump into the remaster, but trophies being locked by mods makes me hesitant. There is no goddamn way I will ever touch this game with vanilla game balancing again. Bethesda's vanilla rules are terrible, and I kind of feel awkward using mods to fix their game but be punished for doing so.

Seems like a bit of a waste, buying the same ps4 version again just because you are getting a PS4 Pro.

For whatever crazy reason until now, I thought Id needed to re-buy the PS4 Pro version (similar to how you needed to buy PS Move games take advantage of the motion controllers) to take advantage of the extra effects or whatever. Im completely off the mark here on this console upgrade thing, my apologies lol.

5 behind you but ditto.

annoyed/excited to start over on the remaster.

I feel ya. I'm contemplating how I should approach the special edition, as I was thinking about trying to finish the main quest a month ago and now I got the SE free from Steam since I owned the legendary edition of Skyrim prior. So much time and mods into the original already.

80 hours in Vanilla and 20 hours in Special Edition thus far.

Haven't finished the main story quest & DLC content yet. I'm planning to take it slow and easy.
 
- 300 hours on PS3 vanilla Skyrim, three runs (yes, how the fuck did I survive, right?)
- 110 hours on PS3 Legendary Edition, one run (100%ed)

then I sold my PS3 and switched to PC

- 109 hours according to Steam, one run (haven't touched the expansions there yet).

So that's like 500+ hours. Not bad.
 
372 hours.

Cleared every location in the map (I think) and unlocked all achievements, in one single character. I reeeeeally want to start up the SE, only reason I haven't is because I fear I might get glued to it, and maybe I don't want that right now.

Bought it on a sale on 360 just as a excuse to play it again but never went back to it after finishing the Winterhold quests, completely forgot to keep up.
 
Around 150+...on PS3...before the 1.4 patch that removed the frame rate drops and game crashing...and I got the Platinum trophy.
It's a well made game, but nowhere near how good I thought it would be. That Platinum was calling me so I kept going. Totally worth it...I think? lol.

Made different characters with vastly different playstyles. Also went through a ton of mods.

Mods. I've made it to the greybeards in the main storyline but nothing further than that. Haven't done any DLC besides Hearthfire.

For comparison, I enjoyed Morrowind way more. I originally played the game on Xbox and had at least 100 hours in it.

Yeah similar numbers for me too.
 
I got 1 hour lol no joke just doesn't do it for me. My boyfriend literally had like 600 in it in a year totally no lifed it so I watched literally like 5 playthrough at least..
 
According to Steam over 400 hours. Though I have a habit of leaving my games on while doing other stuff. Probably 200 hours of that is messing with mods.
 
Only 111. I thought it was more, like 120 ish. That was all in the first three months I got it. Haven't really touched it since.

Quest-breaking bug meant I couldn't progress, and I remember trying to reload earlier saves and poking in after updates. I might be fixed now, but holy crap I do not have any interest in this game anymore.

I never tried any mods either. That stuff looked cool, but not enough.
 
A little over 200 on the 360 version, and around 80 on the PS3 version. I'll probably get the X1 version this month, which will probably be around the same as the 360 version. lol
 
About 33 in the original, 30 in the SE going by Steam. I got stuck with an early Companions quest (this one if anyone wants to know) when everyone kept destroying me, and it felt a bit too samey after Oblivion and Fallout 3. But this time I got addicted to getting rich off of alchemy and leveling up forging so I can make awesome equipment and hopefully not land in that situation again as easily.

EDIT: And I do prefer it to Oblivion at least, but that felt a bit too safely generic fantasy while this went with more a Viking-type theme with dashes of Morrowind's uniqueness mixed in. Fallout 4 might be a drop back down with Fallout 3 roughly on par with Skyrim, Fallout 4 gives the impression of leaning too heavily on radiant quests.
 
The remaster definitely has its hooks in again. Its amazing how this game draws me in time and again, something about the world they created feels really appealing
 
it's the dungeons that kill any ES game for me at some point, from Morrowind onwards. The best part is always exploring the overworld map and doing the occasional quest, once you've seen most of it it's usually time to delete the game
