Level 8 but I'm sooooo many hours in that it just doesn't seem right...

It seems like every time I go off to do something I'm supposed to, I get side tracked with some other nonsense...

I can't help it though. I'm going to be around 20 hours in by the time I hit level 10

No, you're absolutely doing it right, I'm the exact same way.

Set out to finish missions A, B, C. Finish mission A, smoke a joint, then start mission X1, YZ, finish mission D, lol. This is definitely one of those games not about the 'end' result, but how you get there, if you get there, and how you decide to do it. I can't explain it any other way.

I'm at Level 40 but I've got 160 hours logged so far, but still feel like I've only scratched the surface.

Not sure which version you're using, but on the PS3 version when you go to your load/save files, save your current game and then stay on that screen for a few seconds. It will then display where you just saved, along with the # of hours played, and size of the safe file, etc.

And yes this game is very bad (or very good) for people with ADD, depending how you look at it...

On deh S-Bos but I'll give it a shot.

So before I head West and continue the story I decide to go get this 'unusual gem' appraised...

Simple enough, right?

Nope. 4 hours later and I'm an enforcer for the Thieves Guild and burning down beehives...

I thought this game was going to disappoint the hell out of me. And it did, for about the first two hours.

But man, I love this game

hamburglar · 12-29-2011, 11:19 AM

My ADD is worse because I got fed up with my fighter/smith at like 50 hours, got fed up with my thief at about 50 hours, and probably will get bored with my mage and have to switch back before I get anything real done.

Also FYI if you want to fast level up as a thief just go to a trainer for anything, train 5X, and then pickpocket all the gold you spent training for a massive boost to pickpocket.

level 51 for me - the dweemer storyline is probably the most interesting so far.

I started over. Didnt like where I was headed. Much better this time.

Dimitri_0515 · 01-17-2012, 02:46 AM

That is always a risk, yes.
However if your marriage or anything else that matters teeters in the balance, then I wouldn't play it.

Most of my time in Skyrim is spent ogling breastses....

Right now Im at Level 47 and just finished the Theives Guild storyline, and haven't done much else.

One of my favorite things to do is play this game whilst stoned.
I had the biggest feeling of paranoia that I was going to fall to my death when I found this place (I forget the name, some Dwemer ruins in the Thieves Guild questline...apologies for the crappy pics)

The same location, only I finally made my way down after smiting all the bad guys....

Just prior to this location I had managed to kill a Dragon Priest, and then later discovered this 'sleeping dragon'....pretty goddamn cool...

Beerfish · 01-17-2012, 12:38 PM

I'm upset with the thieves guild quest and abandoned it. Spent a lot of time doing the quest and get to a point where they want to force me to do something I do not want to do. There are a few quest like that, I have been investing time doing the quest and then get to a point where they are trying to force me to do something that goes against the grain of my character.
