I hear ya. It feels like 50% of my time on Skyrim has been actually playing the game, and the other 50% has been watching loading screens.
Start the groove.

I spend so much time on Skyrim that I will sometimes say vulgar expressions from TES in public, it confuses a lot of people...

I'd say 60-90 minutes. Of course, during vacations I can literally play from morning 'till evening. This doesn't happen that often though, as I have other games to play!

Why you cowardly milk-drinker... (Did I get that right, my Skyrim is a little rusty...)

I have a 6 week old and a two year old as well as a full time job, so I only get to play about an hour at a time, every once in a while. when I was single (and playing Oblivion or Morrowind) I would play for 10-12 hours everyday, and 18-22+ hour sessions were a regular event.

I was laughing a couple weeks ago, thinking about the "speed-runs" Bethie employees love to brag about. I can think of several people (myself included) who could probably run through the main quest in three hours or less, if we were playing on the 20 RAM rigs they're on with non-existent load times.

The longest I ever played Skyrim was 11/11/11, for five hours. Aside from that, my longest has been around three, and I average around one.

During the summer, I played probably 8ish hrs per day. During the school year, I only play 1-2 at a time, but my chances to play are much fewer and farther between nowadays.

well when i did play the game lol, i would play maybe an hour or two at a time during the evenings, and often would have a mega session on the weekends, esp saturday nights, maybe 11pm till 4 or 5am. I tend to do my socialising on fridays so sat is recovery day

these gaming times are all subject to whether my wife and/or the dog need me to share quality time/walk them (respectively)

apart from the saturday nighters i always try and have something else to do (prepare meals, wander about the house, etc) for the longer sessions so i dont get a numb arse and sore eyes
