If only it was an rpg. you might want to try New Vegas if you like rpg games, 'cause it's the best and the closest to an rpg game that Bethesda have ever published.

Quote:I've seen playthroughs of Skyrim, know of family that plays the game, and i've purchased Oblivion while it was on sale just to see if Skyrim would be worth buying. Comparing it to Oblivion and observing others play it, there are a few things that Skyrim has that i've been wishing for in Oblivion, but i cannot say that these small things and slightly upgraded graphics is worth $60, or the $40 price i saw during the Steam sales. It looks more like a $30 to $35 game to me. Skyrim seems like it'd keep my attention more than Oblivion so far has (i found Oblivion to be a bit boring and reminiscent of Fallout 3 mechanics only set in a different time), but i wouldn't waste $60 on it.

I think you are a but unfair, the improvements between Oblivion and Skyrim are actually really really big, and you judging the game solely by play-throughs is sadening, especially when it comes to such a massive game, but each to their own I guess. Also Oblivion is the worst thing that ever happened to Bethesda, you should have played Morrowind instead because it's much more like Skyrim than Oblivion is, and better than any of them.

Quote:The only thing that could ever cause a game to last that long would require a player to be ignorant, not make use of any teleportation features, aim to complete every side quest possible, aim to get every sort of magic and high-quality inventory items possible, aim to remove every inch of "fog of war" from their maps, and who knows what other potentially irrelevant thing "required" to complete the game that the game has to offer. To include things like side-quests and personal interests of the player when determining how long it would take to complete a game would never tell you how long it requires to complete the game. All that is required to complete the game is to complete the main story. Apparently, if you have the skill and know-how, you can beat the game in about 2 hours and 20 minutes.

The game is not supposed to be played by only running through the main quest, those who do so is the ignorant people you refer to. If it was the purpose of the game they wouldn't throw in the hundreds of side-quests and randomly generated objectives that the game offers. All of the Elderscrolls games have been open ended adventure games that should be explored fully and they always will be. The main quest is merely a small part of the game.
