Oh Skyrim, you are like the gift that keeps on giving.
Imagine a beautiful open-world RPG where you can do just about anything and the environment, community and characters will react accordingly. It truly is an achievement in programming and design.
You run around as a dovahkin, or Dragon-Born and pretty much complete quest or explore are your own leisure. And when I say own leisure, I really mean it. There is almost an infinite amount of content and questing available due to the way the game is designed, which means you could find yourself in Skyrim for hundreds of hours. Many have.
Sure you can complete the main storyline in 40 hours if you rush through it and ignored all the side quests, but that's the beauty...do as you will! Want to kill those guards and take their armor? Sure go ahead! However, there will be repercussions, as expected. What's more, the folks at Bethesda made the game modder friendly, so if you ever get bored just download some new content back you go!
Once I hit about the 100 hr mark, I forced myself to stop since my life was becoming pretty unproductive as you can imagine..and I had barely discovered even half of Skyrim.
The adventures are limitless.
