Skyrim - Two months later.

[Bara_no_Hime]

Got it at Solstice. Level 42 Stealth Mage. Still playing (need to get my Smithing and Enchanting up to 100 each). Still having fun.

My wish? That dragons were a bit tougher and that everything else was a tad less tough (I should be more afraid of Elder Dragons than Sabre Cats and Bears).

 

[ToastiestZombie]

Got it first day. Played as a high elf mage until christmas which is when I got my gaming PC. Then started playing as a sneaky archer, twas so much better than playing as a mage. Well in my opinion at least.

Mods gotten so far: SkyUI, Skyrim HD, Better Maps with roads and the Rainbow dash horse mod!

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Personally I burned myself out on Skyrim within the first month, and can't bring myself to touch it again now. There was just something it lacked. I played Morrowind religiously for about three years, and still go back to it occasionally now. Even Oblivion kept me entertained longer.

I agree with this. I spent 400 hours+ on Oblivion and only 50 on Skyrim, to pretty much lose interest in it. I don't really know why either. I probably spent more time playing Morrowind as well. It lacked something and I'm not sure what.

 

[Woodsey]

I played 101 hours, fucking loved it, have no desire to return to it yet.

I've found that as I've gotten older, I'm much more willing to stick with one character and have one long playthrough, then I am to have multiple shorter ones.

Probably something to do with having more money and a timetable that means I only need to go into 6th Form 3 hours a day.

 

[castlewise]

I hit level 50 or so. But I was super careful about optimizing my perks so I am pretty much invincible now, which has taken the danger out of the game. I did all the main quests and the vast majority of the non-repeatable side quests.

I hope the DLC adds new monster types.

 

[Raddra]

Tried to get back into Skyrim after stopping playing just before new year.

Crash to desktop bug every 5 minutes play. Tried the only fixes I can find: setting shadows to low, lowering my sound settings.. both useless.

Sadface.

 

[Jerre138]

Played it way too much, kind of burnt out on it (as in reduced to 3 hours a day)

Thieves Guild questline was awesome (except 'Taking Care of Business' which should've had more ways to get what's owed)

College of Winterhold questline was very dissapointing to me.

Dark Brotherhood was fine, but preferred Oblivion's

Companions was surprising, liked it.

Main Quest is IMO the best one they've done so far, but had the feeling that you're 'supposed' to play as a Nord, which I didn't.

Stealth is still WAY overpowered if you want it to be and focus on that skilltree (so are other playstyles really, but not so you can instakill an ancient dragon with the right equipment and perks)

Bring on the DLC

 

[Right Hook]

BURNT OUT, seriously, I played it so much at first but after about a month I also got burned out. I've just started playing it again trying to get the last few achievements I don't have (oblivion walker and thuum master SUCK). It feels like a chore at this point, I also have to do the civil war quests and most of the main quests but I'm actually looking forward to those, I haven't done them as a an incentive to keep getting through this boring stuff I'm currently stuck doing. I think one thing they could have done differently would be offer less quests and make the ones they did offer a lot more unique, treading through the same scenario six hundred times because I want achievements and I am a completionist is total bullshit.

 

[Aprilgold]

I'd say that it was pretty lackluster. I think that the only thing it really had going for it was the insane amount of hype.

The scenery was nice, and so was the lore, but everything else was just so.... bland.

Spoiler: Obligatory DinoRidingJesus video.

I agree.

Many of the features weren't pulled through and the scenery was pretty but very bland. Everything was just too bland.

 

[Purplecoyote]

I've been playing it since November and I'm still enjoying it a lot, still playing with the same character I started with too, a khajiit archery master.

I started a new game with a mage wood elf but I missed my khajiit character way too much so I switched back and I took a small break to play Arkham City though but I picked Skyrim back up after finishing that.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I love it, and still play it a couple of days a week. My only problem though is the lack of feeling accomplishment. The end of the main questline was so damn anticlimatic, when I was done with it I was like....okay, where's my parade...or reward? I think that in the future maybe adding a brief one minute cut scene or something should be added in Bethesda's next ES title. Not just a stupid journal update. That's actually kind of true with all the guild and faction questlines too.

 

[shrimpcel]

College has started now so I can't touch the game until my term is over, but I definitely think it's one of the best games of all time.

 

[Mistress_Munchies]

I got it the Monday after it came out and while I still play and still enjoy it, I have to say I do have a big problem with the different questlines. So far I've completed both the Dark Brotherhood and Thieve's Guild questlines, and to say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. They just seemed rushed and it felt like I went from newcomer to head of the guild in two seconds flat. The qeusts just felt slap-dash and really kind of boring; there have only been one or two I've really enjoyed, side-quests included.

 

[Togs]

Stopped playing it before christmas as I did something somewhere that made all the glitches Id heard about pop up in my game.
In a fit of frustration I deleted my saves and havent touched it since.

 

[honestdiscussioner]

I've had two full playthroughs where I may not have accomplished everything, but accomplished what I felt was my characters arc. Right now I have no fewer than six games I have yet to start, except for two in which I'm about a 5th of the way through, and I'm fighting the urge to to start a third game. I believe I will fail to resist this urge.

Fuckin' Skyrim man. Greatest game ever.

 

[Warped_Ghost]

I used to play skyrim but then I took a copy of swtor to the stocking.

 

[Dragonforce525]

Yeah I haven't touched it in weeks, I just got so bored with it, I felt like I was playing it for ages and haven't even dented the story, I know I was progressing but it's just so damn slow that the game never feels like it's progressing with me.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I still play it, I have a level 53 Imperial Badass. I think I'm past 80 hours. But it just feels so fun to play plus all the Imperials saying "Time for round 2 Thalmor!" And the dlc, it just keeps me going. I will probably be playing the Hell out of it for the next two years．

 

[Fearzone]

Nearly done with my second playthrough, and slight boredom is just starting to set in. First it was a dark knight wielding a big-ass ax, now a cloth mage. I have a third playthrough planned as a thief/assassin character. But I'm gonna take a break after the mage.

Will check something else out, and wait for more mods.

 

[brainslurper]

Still slowly progressing on my pacifist run. Much easier then I expected.
