Is anyone still playing this game? I got a late start. Having way too much fun with all the followers. Most of my friends do not like to play with followers, but I love it!! I am available for hints on how.
As a level 53, I have spent loads of time. I really enjoy sniping on horseback and having followers+ keeping them alive too.

I believe the majority of users are still playing Skyrim.

Unless you did a site poll I am unaware of, I stand by my previous claim. The majority of the activity on the site is Skyrim related. Therefore, the majority of the users on the site are playing Skyrim. Talking to a full long-term users who will have played the hell out of the game already, or reject future sequels altogether creates a biased result.

That's making a lot of assumptions. A lot of a lot of them.

Anyway, this thread can always be turned into a poll, if the OP is willing. Then we'll know for sure if they play still or not.

If I played games at this time of the year I would be playing Skyrim. Still have an archer elf that needs to defeat Alduin.

Lets stick to the topic and let people speak for themselves, rather than making assumptions either way, shall we?


I'd still be playing, if my Xbox didn't die.

Of course, I have gaps of a few months where I don't/wouldn't have played it, but I always end up replaying my old games.

So, technically no I'm not playing, but I would like to be.

I am playing Skyrim!:P
haha like the archer on horse style! but my horse always get killed somehow, so I go by foot now a days. I agree with your friends i don't like followers they mostly die way to early in battle and get lost..

I am taking an "extended leave" from Skyrim, but I know one day I'll get bored and get sucked back into Tamriel.

I am playing too! I only got Skyrim in May this year and havent played constantly, so im only level 37 with my first character.
I like a follower, but depends who. I dont go for melee ones as they tend to get killed more close range and they get in the way.

Last time i played Skyrim was a few months ago. Think it was a week before GTAV was released. I usually sink 40ish hours in before i get bored of the character.

I'm still playing. Regularly. Played a little last night, but I was rather deep in my cups so I didn't do too much. I get paranoid that I'll do something stupid.....like the night I came home late after having been at the pub and woke up the next morning to find that I married Ysolda. That was weird.

I'm an Orc barbarian with a mage follower. We're working on the DB quest line at the moment. I even took a day off last week and did nothing but play. I take time off from the game, but I always come back. Yes, precious. We always comes back.

I play all the time. New Vegas and Skyrim are the only video games that currently get my attention. I don't have much time to play daily like I wish I could...so I play 2-3 times a week for an hr. I think the key to boredom in this game is role play. I take my time to do things and let the characters run the mill. I've had to restart my assassin numerous times because of bugs, but besides that I still have my original characters. I'll be playing Skyrim forever I think.

Wow, sounds like I really am NOT alone in Skyrim or the Ashspawn place. Well I can give serious advice on the followers, because I have focused on that. Yes I have lost quite a few horses...but I still like to ride and storm the castle. The beginning of my search for a mate led me to try out as many followers as I could afford. I do like that it is not limited to sexual preference, all inclusive. Anyway, my main thing is hey, will this person be able to fight well, care for kids, and not annoy me with their banter. I decided on Vorstag. I kinda have a thing for Arnold and he reminds me, also he is sweet as a husband.
If your followers are getting killed, you need some advice I am here.

Snail's Pace, since there are so many variations and possible characters I doubt anyone can really "finish" the game. And if you do the main quest it does not end anything really. I am afraid of the new version, I may be even more immersed. I have played only one game online with others and that was Journey or I forgot I did play a bit of this one with a rag doll??. Elder Scrolls will probably have many meanies and shenanigans, but my middle name is revenge, so bring it meanies.

What!?!! There's other games out there!?!!

I got a late start myself. I built a nice new gaming PC back in January and picked up Skyrim a month or two after that. I played non stop for several months. The last month or so I have slowed down a lot. Been spending time playing Star Trek Online again. Plus I just picked up Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and the whole FEAR collection really cheap from Steams Halloween sale. Might pick up a few more games while they are on sale. So it will probably be a while before I get back into Skyrim. I really needed a change of pace, I was getting the Been there Done that feeling with Skyrim.

I've been playing Skyrim almost every day since the day it came out, and don't see that stopping anytime soon. I did have like a month break, when my disc broke, but it was replaced as soon as I was able too.

^Same here. I don't usually play a lot of games, but once every couple of years there's one that gets me hooked, and right now that's still Skyrim. Everytime I think I'm done with it I get an idea for another character, a different playstyle, different things to do or a way to do the same things differently. Just recently started a new character for the, um, like tenth time or so and working my way up the food chain, it's still as much fun as ever.

^^ Totally. Skyrim never gets old. I'm with you on that when I think I'm done...I'm not really. Its like a bad romance.

As much as I'd like to be playing Skyrim right now, I can't. Not until I rebuild my mod and find out what the hell was causing Dawnguard to break my saves.
In other words, I do still play Skyrim... Just not right now because Dawnguard is being an [&@%!]. Hmph.
