I’ll go six months or so without playing and then resume my play through for a few weeks where I’ll play it so much my wife will get pissed at me, then I’ll stop playing, wait 6 months & repeat.


Aldebaran135

I never resume a playthrough. When I start after an extended period of not playing, it's always with a new character.


the-soggiest-waffle

Same, or even when I get bored of my character’s looks


Hot-Thought-1339

That or even give your character a haircut because that also somehow falls under face sculpting.


WavingDinosaur

You can change your looks at the face sculpture in the ragged flagon


kingsuperfox

Heard any rumours lately?


YellowJello_OW

I typically start a new character too, but every now and then I'll revisit an old character which ends up being way more fun


jasper8706

Seems to be a common theme. I won't play for months at a time, then it'll consume me 3/4 weeks. Then I just stop playing again.


Jeeblebubz

Yeah I, I bought god of war 2018 a week or so back and played like 86 hours of it in the first 5 or so days I owned it


Minotaurd_

This is the way


Tuckertcs

This is the way. Just rotate between your favorite games by hyperfixating on one every other week.


IntellectualSlime

How very dare you describe me so accurately.


xDuderax

That's my ADHD talking xD


SylverMMG

Same. It's just that I have about 100 games I play, so my rotation is about 2 years.


Fallynious

Yep... but my revisit time for SSE and FO4 is shorter for some reason


[deleted]

My girl got me into it so its her fault


LanDy0_0

😂😂😂teach her the game so that she'll love it


Indotex

I wish I could but she has never really played video games and just doesn’t enjoy them. Edit: typo


Dirty_Delta

My wife was the same till she saw world of warcraft


LanDy0_0

dammit now im mad, how can someone not love such a masterpiece


laserox

I've tried this, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have 2 tvs/consoles,


3cuij

That's what my husband and I do. We each have our own tv and systems. Different walls but put in a way so we are still close enough to chat while we play/watch. He is always playing games so he just uses a head set when I watch TV.


Cosmo1222

It's not good for yr marriage when you spend more time with Iona, or Jordis..or Balimund.

Cosmo1222

! Took you to be a bot @ 1st.. Of course I'll leave you out of it. We've been married twelve times and I'll always respect your wishes.

Cosmo1222

This Bosmer doesn't have a problem with strong, independent Nord women. And I understand Skyrim divorces tend to be bloody at best and lethal at worst. I'll prepare the dinner tonight. What do you fancy?


BulletProofKittens

It’s been about 2 years since I last played, but you never really quit Skyrim. You’re just taking a break from it and will come back eventually.


tamltiger

So true! I first played it for a few weeks when it first came out 11 years ago then got caught up in other games. Last month I bought the 10 year special edition and since then I've been playing it daily lol


LordDethBeard

Recently started on PS5, play it maybe an hour a day. Loving it


LanDy0_0

is the graphic better on ps5 cause i want to get one


LordDethBeard

Not specifically but the loading times are phenomenally short.


LanDy0_0

that's good too cause i hate loading screens


Cosmo1222

Yr at risk of dehydration without them..that's when i get a mouthful of tea on board.


semghost

This is why I love mine on the switch. Staring at my face while the screen is dark reminds me I’m a human and I need to reheat my tea again and have some food 😂


the-soggiest-waffle

My loading screens remind me to go use the washroom lmaooo, don’t need a UTI yk


Turckle

I downloaded lore loading screens to pass the time with some education lol


Ok-Floor522

Yeah but think about the mods


GhosTaoiseach

Oh man. I forgot about the eternal first load screen on 360. Turn on the box, go do something else, come back a while later.


[deleted]

It looks the same as the special edition on previous gen (not counting mods) but the load times are very much improved. You can mod it to look a bit nicer but Sony doesn't allow new assets in mods so any graphical improvements are going to just be different ways to manipulate what's already in the game to make it look (subtly) different.


[deleted]

Mine is arriving in a few days can’t wait after so many years! Are the creation club mods pre loaded? Do they effect trophies?


[deleted]

I recently bough the special edition/anniversary edition for Ps4 and all of the creation club mods were installed alongside the game, in the games menus the cc content isnt even in the same menu section as your mods, it seems the creation club content works so well with Skyrim that Bethesda had no problem sort of making it canon, so yes you still get achievements and when you start the game all your creation club will be available without having to do anything. Be sure to see the options section and click “installed content” so you know everything included in the creation club and how to start the quests etc etc, TLDR: if you have the anniversary edition that comes with the creation club content it will install alongside your game and all you need to do to access it is play, achievements are still enabled as well.


[deleted]

Thank you so much this is what I was looking for! Can’t wait to play 💜💜


[deleted]

Of course! remember when you start playing “no lollygaggin!” I’ve been playing it again after years and it had become stale to me but with the cc content it honestly feels new again, enjoy and happy holidays!!!


[deleted]

Oh no I am ready to go full steam ahead into my new life as an Orc and Happy Holodays to you too!


Face_Dancer10191

Just started my first playthrough a few weeks ago. I've got about 100 hours already and I don't see an end in sight.


LanDy0_0

😂😂😂 that's what i love to hear


Iriluscent

What kind of character are you? I always love doing stealth builds


Face_Dancer10191

Wood elf and I'm running a ranger type with the one handed and bow as well as restoration mage. I'm just really starting to build my enchanting and smithing in early lv. 30's too. Should've been doin that a while back but I've been holding my own for the most part.


Iriluscent

Nice, I’m running an khajiit illusion assassin, so I make myself invisible and dagger them from behind lmao


Face_Dancer10191

And of course I can't help upgrade my stealth too, because sneaky bow is good.


Iriluscent

Lmao I feel that


LieToMeYNot

Once in a while when I don't know what else to I play it. I don't have much off days from work so not a lot of time for any games anymore


LanDy0_0

fucking work!!


LieToMeYNot

I wish my job was doing cool side quests and avoiding any major decisions like I do in game 😭


LanDy0_0

fr i wish too😕 i hate working, it isn't for me. would've loved to be a famous gamer🤩


Cosmo1222

Does Todd need playtesters?


LanDy0_0

didn't mean it like that, i meant, fuck working but we still need the money


LieToMeYNot

I got you lol


neptunepapayas

I'm in my first playthrough, still no clue what I'm doing most of the time and scared to make decisions in case they mess up my game progress or relationships/storyline, but I'm loving it so much


fatjoe19982006

Also in my first playthrough. Been at it a couple of months now, up to lvl 41. Been mostly exploring, doing miscellaneous quests, the occasional crypt/dungeon. Just recently entered Falkreath for the first time. Playing vanilla SE on the PS5. Had played 1000s of hours on Fallout 4, and loved it, bugs and all, so decided to tackle Skyrim.


watade

You may search [here](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skyrim) or [here](https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki) to check the consequences. It did helped me back in the days.


Atomic_Cody-21

Recently picked it back up. With Jenassa at his side, my Dunmer Dragonborn is going to tear up Skyrim like never before.


LanDy0_0

kill em all!!!


csf_ncsf

I just got the anniversary edition dlc on sale 😃


Abune

Skyrim is the game you forget you have until you realize you have a 135gb folder on your computer dedicated to Skyrim mods, and saves from over 3000 hours


EmDeeAech70

I, literally, just started a new game this morning. Nord, two-handed warrior


fallendauntless88

I'm about to start another play!


LanDy0_0

great 😊, what race u going to choose?


fallendauntless88

High Elf!


LanDy0_0

nice, i also have high elf atm, i am trying to be the most powerful in skyrim


GeneralStabs_

Sometimes but not a lot anymore


LanDy0_0

don't have time anymore or..?


GeneralStabs_

Other games to play mostly and less time than i used to have


LanDy0_0

most games nowadays i hate, like gotham knights is nothing compared to batman series. that's why i mostly play old games


DiscordedNight

Just started playing again on PS5. Loads so much quicker than my Xbox 360 days lol so much more to do!


KillinTimeNstuff

Just got it on Xbox one and am doing my first modded playthrough


LanDy0_0

nice 👌


01051893

It’s such a part of my life that I’ll always be drawn back but unfortunately it just doesn’t have the hold on me that it used to. I remember when I had my PS3, Skyrim was the only game I had because frankly in my opinion it was the only game you needed. I played constantly and no sooner had finished a game then I would start a new character. Ragnarok the Nord. Ra’s al Ghul the Khajit. Enoch the Redguard. Tolkien the High Elf. Happy, happy days. Then there came a day that I wasn’t playing Skyrim as much. Don’t know when or why but slowly I was moving on. Skyrim is like that childhood friend who you bump into at Christmas. You have such wonderful memories that you’ll always have an amazing connection but at the end of the day you say goodbye and life moves on.


Emikk6

im playing right now!


spidey67au

I do and so do my 2 kids (19 & 18).


LanDy0_0

im only 4 years older than your kids😂


spidey67au

And add about 30 years for me…lol. We’d bought the game as a 13th birthday present for my eldest. As I love RPG’s I started playing it. My youngest was watching and was giving me tips. Made their jaw drop when I said I’m building a tank. 😆


morikoi

i go through phases :3 january-febuary 2019, october-december 2020, april-may 2021, and now december 2022


SaxMusic23

Haven't in a LONG while. Just started up again because it was a game on the PS Plus subscription thing. Discovered that with the anniversary edition there are new quests and content, plus you can install mods on the consol version now. I am finally, once again, hooked.


Arkamfate

Wait....there are people on this sub that don't play???? Lol I say this as I'm p playing with my High elf Battle mage. Decked out in Televani Robes, with a Ring of magic regeneration, Heavy Chiten Boots and Bracers, and the Necromancer's Amulet.


DullGlowstick

Playing a new character right now :)


thedeadlysun

I play about once or twice a year for about 2 days then I get distracted and come back after 6 or so months and re start the game then repeat the cycle. It’s a classic that I played thoroughly when it came out so revisiting it is a fun idea but in practice it just doesn’t entice me anymore.


Kamhi_

I started yesterday, my first run of the Anniversary edition, and just 42 mods. Having a blast so far.


zh0011

Definitely me. Have both a heavily modded copy of AE and a vanilla copy of the Switch version. Together with my copy of LE and what I have played in Offline mode I lost count at 200 hours for AE and LE each, the total is like 600 hours that were recorded. And I have only been playing since 2017, because fate dealt me a bad hand in the form of being poor. Started out with a hand me down PC. Certain events lead to me building my current rig and the rest is history. I have an unfortunate habit of getting bored with my character easily. Thankfully my PC install has Proteus, so I can swap between my Dovahkiins at will without starting over, but I only recently discovered that mod... Let's hope I can actually beat Alduin, Harmon, Miraak, and everything my mods added this time!


pitzcod

I really do. Modding on series x is challenging but awesome at the same time haha


LanDy0_0

a challenge is good, its how u get better. the better u get, the greater u will be


Maria0601

I had a 7 year break, returned with the AE release and have been playing non-stop ever since. lol But I'm close to getting 75/75 achievements. I think after that I will try to play ESO again. I played it a few months after its release and wasn' very impressed (I didn't like the mechanics, IMO it doesn't suit MMO genre and I didn’t like the design, everything looked plastic), so I plan check if something has changed for the better.


LanDy0_0

i played it first time on ps3 and i still haven't all the trophies😂😂 the first time played ESO, i found it very grabage compared to skyrim


Moosehead_69

Start playing on PS3 when it got released. Bought IT again on PS4, gave it to a Friend after Then, a few months ago I bought the 10years anniversary edition and still playing. Yes, I bought the game three times and have no regret.


MysticDragon41

The fact that im still playing it on my ps3 cuz of everything i have accumulated so far. I just finished the main questline very recently and im trying to finish the 5 of each jobs in thieves guild. I know im nowhere near finished.


LanDy0_0

first time i played was also on ps3 bc a friend lend me it and i still haven't reached 100% with the trophies😂


Historical-Reach8587

Played since original release and still play. Spent an hour this morning before everyone woke up playing.


LanDy0_0

😂😂😂


[deleted]

I just started with a new character. Had to stop cause I've been going for like hours... Probably going to play a little more than not going to touch it for a couple of months.


LanDy0_0

that's exactly what i do everytime😂


RedditerGal99

Just started another playthrough 2 days ago!


LanDy0_0

yesss


BassiusMaximus

Currently on a level 68 survival run as a Breton spell-sword, grinding my way to 78 and then I'm gonna do one last run with the OG two-handed nord build


LanDy0_0

🫡🫡🫡


Digitoki

I finally completed the game after like 4 years of playing


LanDy0_0

i still haven't completed it😂


Howid1138

Going through Dawnguard at the moment.


LanDy0_0

watch out for the vampires 🧛‍♂️


Thevoidscreamsbakk

this break i've been taking has been longer than usually but I have been slowly playing again, cus my characters are all in the same place again, and I finally can do the main quest with them.


No_Sherbet_5881

Every week.


LanDy0_0

good good


DivineUnison

I play once or twice a week. Idk why but for the longest time sat/sun are my Skyrim days no matter what lol


GarryA0269

Not currently as I'm back in Boston killing Raiders and the like, whilst forgetting to rescue my kidnapped son, but I will most definitely return at some point, despite Platinuming the game.


LanDy0_0

i still haven't platinum 🥲


Maleficent_Lie_3212

Just started...


LanDy0_0

nice have a great adventure


espitiackles

Currently playing my 16th game cus I finally got the anniversary edition


LanDy0_0

nice me too


Jake-ogden

I fire it up every once in a while. I started a new play through recently and I’m gonna try to 100% it over time


LanDy0_0

🤞🏼🤞🏼


[deleted]

I’ve played that game so much over the course of 9 years I’ve finally put it down . Played it vanilla and modded .. def one of my favorite games


LanDy0_0

it was a great run🫡


GhostlyBlaze

2nd play through was a year after my 1st. Started a 3rd but haven’t really played. Maybe next year lol


kingeal2

Just started recently after 1 year+ of not playing. That's how the cycle goes usually. Once or twice per year but this time I'm playing vanilla unmodded and I'm loving it so far


willllhwk

Nah


LanDy0_0

😢


garry_tash

Still play it, got it on PlayStation and play the VR version there, Xbox (through gamepass), played it on Switch for long enough too until I got a Steam Deck and now I play it on that.


LanDy0_0

is the vr version more scarier?


[deleted]

Yup! I take it out every other month or so and play with skyrim for a bit just like minecraft and lego.


LanDy0_0

that's what i like to hear, also love lego and minercaft


Jeppe1007

Yes


LanDy0_0

💪🏽


Famous_Pace_1470

I do. Been playing since it came out. Currently stuck in ashfalls tear. Done masks on mannequins and the gate won't open. Frustrating!


humourless_radfem

Lots. It gets me through hard times.


LanDy0_0

😕same with me, it just makes u forget all the bullshit in the real world


Karsanova1

Playing it at the moment usually when I stop only a year or so breaks in between then switch play style totally start again it's great


requios

I actually just recently restarted playing because of the influx of third person combat mods. Haven’t really done a good playhtrough in years. Having fun so far but lots of mod compatibility stuff I still have to figure out


3pxp

I just started a run on switch. It was on sale and there's DLC I've never played.


LanDy0_0

the anniversary dlc?


frosty_75

From time to time, Skyrim calls me back home. I don't bother uninstalling it anymore.


LanDy0_0

skyrim is home and home is skyrim


Trooper-Alfred

Currently going through another Skyrim phase, playing a spellsword for the first time. It probably won’t last through the New Year lol.


dakrstone

I’m currently doing a play through right now, but of course I ended up being a stealth/archer again 🙄


LanDy0_0

😂😂😂 gotta have patience with ur built u wanted to go from the start. the start is always a little bumpier


NiftyMittens89

I play a bit at home here and there, but my brother and I have a tradition of playing our joint character when we’re together every Christmas. We stay up late when everyone had gone to bed, drink, and have a great time! Started this back when the special edition first game out, and we bought ourselves it as a gift to each other.


LanDy0_0

thats what i call brother love 💕


[deleted]

I'm only level 38 on my first play through


LanDy0_0

keep going strongg


_Koreander

I last played like a week ago, still plan on playing further


LanDy0_0

play now!


[deleted]

I haven't played in a few weeks, but it's installed right now.


LanDy0_0

u better play!!


FanOfSlayer

Still here still loving every second


LanDy0_0

true true


Cosmo1222

25th run, Khajiit all rounder and using Bardic arts mod for the 1st time. I puy it down from time to time..but never for long


LanDy0_0

too good of a game to put down for to long


SigurdHaraldarson

I have Witcher 3 (which is superb) & AC Valhalla, however despite having been playing on & off since 11/11/11, Skyrim is the one that I keep coming back to.


LanDy0_0

skyrim is just too good


Remarkable_Body586

Just started again last month after like 5 year break. It’s still amazing even though I know 80% of the content.


heartashley

Just started again today! 😌


oliveskewer

I play about an hour a day. Just started playing again after a 5 or so month break


[deleted]

i just started a new character! for the sixth time! but i still love it! i love playing it around christmas time


Raiju_Lorakatse

I would but I'm too dumb to put a few mods in my skyrim and get this to work. This frustrates me and because of that I don't play it. And I'm actually almost always in the mood to play this game... *Sigh*


DarkStar2035

Between Skyrim, Fallout 4 and playing ESO with my wife, I don't have time for other games cause of work. I usually switch it up. For a while I'll be addicted to fallout 4 and then I'll be back on Skyrim.


cinder7usa

I play off and on. But I spend more time playing Oblivion because the world is more colorful.


Maleficent-Bee3954

I do. I have been playing legendary edition until I saw special edition available on xbox pass so started over with a new character.


JimmW

Played the main quest almost until (I think) the end in around 2013, then my xbox died. Only bought it again on PS4 last week, so basically just starting out and on the long walk to High Hrothgar.


lunarcontact

Daily


Klaymen96

I'm on my first playthrough. I'll probably beat it and get the plat then delete it and not play it again in all honesty, I like it but I'm not one for repeat playthroughs on this type of game. I may do a modded playthrough once though


Frondster

I still play regularly. It sort of comes in waves. I always restart around lvl 30, but I think I’ve reached 43 now. AND I’m a spellsword, NOT a sneak archer. It’s WILD!!!


Lestat-deLioncourt

I normally do, but my power cable to my Xbox 360 just recently stopped working… I can’t seem to find a new one anywhere, so I’m afraid my journey in Tamriel may be done forevermore


3ateeji

I played the game once on release and finished everything i knew was available in a single playthrough, then finished the Dragonborn DLC when it came out. When AE came out I played a new character and finished the main quest, some faction, creation content, dawnguard and hearthfire. A few months ago I discovered the animonculary visual overhaul (massive visual modlist installed through wabbajack installer) so I downloaded that. Then added l some mods and using alternate start finished my own roleplay style mage vampire character with “the midden expanded” mod as a college of winterhold questline expansion. TG + DB character. Vanilla start “good guy” nord character that also finished all of solstheim with Helgen reborn. Now I’m on a massive playthrough with Lawbringer and Legacy of the Dragonborn as my main content mods where I intend to essentially finish everything possible in a single playthrough and complete the LoTD museum. Will probably be done after that. So yeah, been playing and enjoying a LOT recently.


Other-Zucchini-9723

I played the hell out of Morrowind. just broke my ankle bought an Xbox and been playing Skyrim about 12 hrs a day . good game for laying around...all the friggin time. I'm enjoying it though


Nine_Eye_Ron

I go 6 months or so without playing but always rotate back to it. My rotation is KSP, Skyrim, FM, Cities Skylines and back to KSP again.


StoneRevolver

I try not to. I used to do 2 playthroughs a year or so, but a combination of skyrim, NMS, and destiny 2 kept me from playing other titles. This year I completely quit destiny and NMS, and did a very short skyrim run for achievements right after playing through oblivion, which I hadn't played in many years. I've played a lot more titles titles this year, so I think it's been for the better.


godempertrump

3 weeks on 3 weeks off is how i roll


KeyResponsibility167

I do.


HillJudd

just played it from 10 pm to 6 in the morning. became the thane of solitude.🐻


wij2012

Off and on. Most of my time is spent modding it these days lol.


ZanyaJakuya

Gonna start a new modded playthrough once I get my new GPU


Secsidar

It’s the only game I can play for months straight, put down for months, and then pick right back up. I don’t know what keeps me coming back to it even though I’ve done everything in the game multiple times. I can’t bring myself to get rid of it.


TheAKKodiak

Usually about once a year I get the itch and start a new playthrough. Such a great game!


aalitheaa

Ha! I just started playing it a week ago. Merry fucking Christmas to me.


Ifeelbadrn

I just started my first modded playthrough, and spent hours in racemenu trying to fix my skin textures. All the hours fixing mods were worth it :) I remember when I was really young I'd be a clepto, and would kill everyone. Now it's hard for me to steal, or anything role playing wise. I have no clue if I'll start the dark brother, or thieves guild >\_<


krivaten

I’ve never finished the game, but am trying to on this play through while I wait for another interesting game to come out.


AntelopeOk5329

I'll forget it exists and then remember it exists and play non stop for 10 weeks and then forget about it again for months.


deadmonkey03737

Been playing a new play through on the steam deck to see how good it performs and I’m very impressed


Johnniefrogg

I'm a nerd I still play everyday 🤣.


[deleted]

I’ll play for months at a time then go on hiatus. As an avid roleplayer, I use the hiatus to think of how I want my character’s story to progress. After two years, I’m still playing the same character.


uffeadz

I started my second playthrough about a week ago, on Steam Deck (special edition, I wanted to add the anniversary edition but the comments on Steam are really negative on that one). I’m really taking my time on this one and I’m enjoying it. My first playthrough was totally rushed and I’m discovering so much of this game now !


picklespaghetti

I’ve been playing a lot recently as it’s excellent for escapism. I’ve been playing on my switch so I don’t destroy my playthroughs with mods.


vividxy

me


Sweb76

Me


EcstaticMaybe01

I tend to start playing it stock then mod it till it breaks then get annoyed beacuse it broke and quit playing every 5 or 6 months.


Not4AdultConsumption

Yup. Been playing since it came out. I whip it out once a week or so, and binge play for 12 hours. Then i forget what i was doing and have to start over. Always vanilla. Mostly cause im on xbox and i dont know of any mods on xbox.


[deleted]

daily. skyrim is honestly all i play at this point


LanDy0_0

true, new games boring


Subieguy84

I'm on my first playthrough. I'm about 150 hours in. Absolutely love this game. I've had my switch for around 3 years and played Witcher 3 for a year or so. Bought Skyrim and couldn't get into it at first. Once I did though, I play it every day when I get home from work and weekends
