I have put 487 hours into it.  10 working weeks!  I feel shame.

I've been playing it a bit recently after forgetting about it for many months. Watching this series definitely rekindled my interest, though installed a variety of interesting mods helped too.

Whichever kind of person I play as I still have some ranged ability. On fighty warrior types it's always good to get some archery for when you need it.

Also, I can't think of a signature, any ideas?

But what you do isn't really work, is it? And you don't appear to feel shame for that! :{)

I labour long into the night, hewing art from the coal-face of life, so that you don't have to, you ungrateful bastard.

I'm rather taken with the somewhat Elder Scrolls-inspired open gameplay and gorgeously rendered landscape of Far Cry 3 at the moment.

Brill.  I hope you derive some enjoyment from it.  It's more fool's gold than a literary diamond, but I wanted to write something that was fun to read.

Skyrim could do with some hang gliders.

And special mushrooms.

Only recently stopped playing it. I usually play games like these for 130 hours or so, get bored, then come back to them a couple of years later. Slap all the DLC on, plus a pile of mods, then it becomes a fresh experience again.

Personally, I was always a combination of archery and swords. Note that even at higher levels, the really good arrows aren't exactly hugely abundant. Ignore iron arrows as even the old ones from ruins are as good as steel arrows. Oh, and work hard at your blacksmith skill and use it to improve all your armour and weaponry. Makes a HUGE difference!

Yeah, defense is something I've ignored until now. Smithing is something I'm gonna concentrate on. It's going to take me a while to ramp up that amount of game time!

The only thing I've ever played that much is Street Fighter 2, kinda wish that had an time counter now.

I think I might be a bit behind on things, what with sorting out awards ceremonies and whatnot, but I've recently started playing Skyrim.

As with Morrowind I'm a sneaky Bosmer archer, but this time I'm a sneaky LADY Bosmer archer. I've got to the point in the main quest where I've got to go speak to the Graybeards, but haven't got round to that because I've been too busy with sidequests and twatting people in the head with arrows.

It's good, innit?

If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

It's very good.  The DLCs are worth installing too.  I really enjoyed the Hearthfire add-on.  I've done everything now, so I'm just killing all mortal NPCs.  It's gradually becoming deathly quiet.

Yep, damn fun game. I've played through it a couple of times and got a good 100 hours out of it each time.

This seems to be a fair assessment. Stealth archers are where it's at.

All: Any mod recommendations? There seem to be tons of them out there, and it's all a bit bewildering. I've got SkyUI installed, which has made life much easier. I had a brief look at ENB, but it mainly served to slow everything down horribly and didn't look any different. I presume that's because I hadn't tweaked it properly, but life's too short for tweaking.

These are all tried & tested.  Wyrmstooth is reasonably good fun, too.

Personally I don't think they have 'y's either, but you've got to let the fantasy writers have their silly spellings or they sulk.
