Wow, I finally finished the Main Storyline. That's gotta be the longest game I've ever played!

Short?

I have just came back to the game as i had others I wanted to finish 1st.

But so far, I have 29hrs in this playthrough and am lvl 25.

Ive finished up the main quests for the Companions and done a few side quests and some exploration.
As far as the main quest goes, I think Im only on the 3rd or 4th quest??
I just met the Greybeards a little while ago, so not sure how far into the main questline I am but ... I have a ton of stuff in my Journal still.

Most games are over in a 15-20hr period and this almost feels as if its just getting started.



My problem is Im not sure how I want to spec my character.
ATM, Shes 1H/shield & Conjurer primarily. Then some archery.

Mages really hurt me though, and thinking bout working on Destruction skills more.

Main story in 2hrs?


Thought the main story was supposed to be 20-25hrs if you done only the main plot.

Not at all it took me two hours to do everything In the main plot from when you get off the prisoner horse back all the way to defeating alduine in the end in sovngard.

Wow, you're a pretty hectic gamer then.

I finished the Main Quest at Level 31 (near 32) after doing a few College of Winterhold, Bards College and Companions quest. I'd done a heck of a lot of side quests, gotten all the shouts/words of power, smithing level of 96 with full enchanted Daedric Armor (Legendary), destroyed the entire Stormcloak rebellion and done a bunch of other quests, objectives and errands I can't recall.

I started playing the game on the 7th of January so it's taken me 12 days playing a few hours a day to finish the Main Story. Which comes to roughly 42 hours.

Maybe its the way some people play the game i fully completed the main story first took me 2 hours then i did all the side quests maybe took me 18 hours tops. My char is full warrior 1h sword sometimes dual. I have the game for both pc and xbox i play xbox mostly thats what i beat everything on. I have dragon bone/dragon scale armor grinded to legendary and i also have daedric armor also legendary. I'm level 32. I fully explored everything so at most i have 24 hours game play and everythings completed the only reason i still go back on the game now is just to mess around and kill things when im bored. I don't know i think oblivion had me going for almost 500 game play hours. I was hooked on it and everything was longer and harder then skyrim. I think skyrim is just glossy but the story was epic i give it that but then again it was short. After i beat everything and did all the side missions and daily missions i got so bored with it cause theres nothing else to do. I'm looking forward to a better dlc or expansion with a better story and maybe a huge explorable area with some decent looking monsters. Maybe have a few more bosses instead of just dragons being the main boss cause dragons are just boring now. May i add also i have the game at hardest difficulty also.

Are you sure that you didn't confuse Skyrim with Tetris?

I used to hammer through games as quick as I could - but I prefer to take my time these days
