    I once heated my 360 in the oven as a desperate measure to fix the RROD after the warranty ran out. I’ve never baked a cake for anyone.

    Skyrim is my 3rd and 4th most played game. Once the standard edition and once the special edition. Those 380 hours though don’t tell the complete picture. You see i once owned skyrim on a ps3 on which i have about 200-300 hours and i used a cracked version of skyrim for years on which i easily have more than 100 hours. Additionally on older versions of SKSE it didn’t correctly hook into steam so back then even after i bought the official skyrim it did not count most of my hours played which again is hard to count but i had like 3 or 4 characters with 60-80 hours each plus a few throwaways so in short a lot of time went missing there too.

    All in all i bet i have over a thousand hours into skyrim. I would play skyrim even more but after having had my experience with mods i can’t help but feel the game is incomplete without all the mods but when i mod it it always becomes so unstable and modding guides mostly give me a weird feeling in the end. The only true modding guide for me would be lexyslotd.com but it takes freaking days to get it running and more and more of her mods rely on the .net script framework and I’ve tried but it’s just impossible to install .net on the current wine/proton versions.

      Wow that’s a lot. I think total I have maybe 150 hours. 120 on steam mostly with one character. I beat all the main quest, a few side quest, and then played through all the dlc’s. (Which were mostly pretty good.)

      I bought Elder scrolls online when it was first released on steam.

      The game was awful. I played through Skyrim with a controller and only wanted to play ESO with a controller so I didn’t look at it for years.

      I recently installed it on steam deck and it now has controller support and is free to play.

      So I’m gonna play through that. It’s basically a online version of Skyrim.

        Wow ESO is now free to play i totally didn’t see that comming sarcasm

        Mods can still make skyrim a lot better than ESO in my opinion. I even found out install dotnet48 works again in wine 8.0 so using that i was able to create a prefix with that installed. I haven’t gotten far modding yet but the .net script framework at least doesn’t crash yet when loading up the game so maybe it now works normally.

          Modding world seems like a lot to learn about. ESO does look a whole lot better today than when first released.

          Lots of people are saying it works as a good single player game.

          I also got the open source engine of Morrowind working on Linux. That seems fun.

          Lots of elderscrolls universe to explore while we wait for the next mainline single player game.

            Skyrim has a multiplayer Mod. I use it to couch co-op with my spouse. We both put in maybe a 100 hours together

            To couch Co-op you need a sandbox utility that lets you launch a second instance of Skyrim, and a resolution setting utility to make it borderless at half the res of your TV

            We tried top/bottom but found left/right to be much nicer split screen

            The multiplayer mod allows for quite a few players, don’t remember the limit

    Bwahahahhahah. 120 ??? Are you for real, bro

    I have like 1k hours in Skyrim. Around same for Oblivion. Its been out for a decade, so its pretty easy to reach those numbers

    Edit: Totally forgot Fallout.

    I think ~200 hours for New Vegas, 1k for Fallout3, and around 500 for Fallout4

      That’s crazy. You must have played through the whole thing with multiple characters.

      I mostly like to play games for the story. I thought the whole dragon born thing was compelling and it kept me playing. After completing the main quest and then exploring the dlc’s I just got board with it.

        Oh yeah, 10 years and probably more than 10 characters. Its just the kind of game that keeps bringing you back after some months

        There was nothing else really as well made as it
