Curing Skyrim boredom preceding DLC

InEnt writes: Pretty much all games can get boring after playing them for a while and this can even happen with massive RPG’s like Skyrim, which we’ve personally got lost for over 350+ hours in this amazing game. By this point we got a little bored although it is worth pointing out that we’re nowhere near completing what is possible, so it’s not to do with things being left to explore but the attraction to Skyrim has just worn off with our gaming time going elsewhere.

Eh, I just traded this in for Armored Core V today... Good trade.

I was bored after about 20 hours, at 28 I'd had enough and traded it in, the crafting broke it for me, the system in Oblivion was better, Skyrim just made gear management and crafting "realistic" ie tedious and a chore rather than something to look forward to.
Plus I never found a weapon which was better than the ones I already had, I maxed out my Bows early on and didn't need anything more powerful after that.

If you maxed out your crafting so early in the game, this means you were essentially powerleveling to level 100 in smithing and possibly enchanting by doing pretty boring stuff: buying and mining ores, buying and finding gems, crafting equipment, enchanting equipment and selling enchanted equipment... rinse and repeat.

So no wonder that you got boring that early in the game: You didn't bother to see what else the game offers you. And if you managed to max out your crafting before level 28 it is quite obvious that you won't see more powerful equipment, because most of the equipment in the game is leveled and the kind of equipment you can already craft is probably equivalent to stuff you can only find around level 50-60. So you now lack the challenge.

Try taking a different playthrough and roleplay a stealthy assassin or perhaps a mage - and try not to focus so much on the crafting. You will get a completely different experience.

at about 120 hours, and if the mods keep coming i can see myself putting many more

danswayuk5163d ago

I put in over 300 hours on the PS3 version, unluckily there are no mods to expand my gaming time meaning a wait for DLC only.

digitalkid5163d ago

No wonder.. 350 hours?!
I'm in a middle of my 2-nd walkthrough as a mage. 219 hours behind and no rush.

DLC is always a good news, just make it HUGE!

they can't get a 14 year old game to run smoothly?

jjb1981154d ago

That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
