Haha. I just went back to the Throat of the World after getting the scroll, went up to dragon wotsit, stood under him and as he talked his neck bent under to follow me trapping me between his legs :D

True. Penetrated by its points.

I could only admit how much time I've spent on Skyrim to a closed session of sympathetic, self-confessed addicts. Like here, now I come to think of it.

189 hours...

Well you could at least take it to a nice round number! Just another three hours of your life to waste on it...

Where is it you see this number of hours? I've not bothered to actually look, I've been far too engrossed in the game.

 

Oh, actually on thinking about it, the steam library page will tell you, won't it? I put a desktop shortcut for it instead so haven't visited the page. At most I'd say I've done about 30 hours though since Christmas, only at level 23.

 

Just started the Thieves' Guild quests, and enjoying my sneaking skills being OK. I shot a guy in the back with a bow, then hid in a corner. He runs straight past me, stops in front of me and I started to panic. Then he states to his friends that it must have been nothing and wanders back to his friends, with an arrow still sticking out of his neck.

 

Rinse and repeat.

 

Unfortunately this means that bringing Lydia along is a no-no, she's far too trigger happy and willing to charge into action. I miss the extra carrying capacity she brought to the table though.

I'm well bored of it. Might go back to Morrowind again.

I still haven't played it. Well, tell a lie, I've started it, sat through the intro, went with the captive and not the guard, followed him to his Sister's house. And that's it.

(Really not been in a game playing mood at all recently. Work is being rather intense at the moment and I often just want to collapse when I get home, have some food, watch some TV and go to bed)

Steam says 113 hours for me. I don't know how accurate that is though.

So far that's nothing compared to the total time i've spent in Oblivion. I haven't actually touched it in a year but last time i did i added up the time clocks from all my saved characters and it was over 450 hours. That's not including a few characters i got bored with and deleted. Must be a good 500 hours in total.

Just checked, I wasn't far off, 33 hours.

Has anyone installed any mods? I'm tempted by SkyUI, described a bit, here

Hmm, might try that and see how it compares to the QD Inventory mod I was using before!

haha. First thing I've seen that makes me want to get this. Can your friend do it for more games please?

I shall put it to him :Y

<qptain_Nemo> please tell milko that i'm a game developer and i will most certainly put it in my own games :)

Ha. 48 hours into the game and I've only now realised I can sprint :D

 

To those who don't know if you Load instead of Continue it says the amount of time for each save game.

I've only just realised I can mine....

You can mine in two stylees, at that. You can either keep your pickaxe unequipped and click on the ore vein, for a sedate mineral extraction experience, or equip it as a weapon and attack the rock-face for mania and mayhem.
