so the average playtime of this game is 30 hours...

[Jazz the Goose]

How did you manage to play that long? i see ppl claiming the game was well over 60 hours long and here i am, having completed the game and every side quest i found in 27 hours. whats going on?

[Old Cat 🐱]

Level 200, pawn knowledge and endgame gear. The story is pretty short indeed.

¿That includes clearing everything in Post-Game (all new board quests plus PG Everfall), killing both Ur's and going through BBI twice?

You only have to check OP achievements.

No 50 board quests...
No Godsbane...
No PG-Everfall...
No Daimon...
No Death...
No ...

You can speedrun this game in less than 40m playing that way... he's probably on his first post-game... hasn't finished a playthrough yet.

Edit: Best missing achievement: No Blacksmith (dragonforge an item)

So either nakedbabe, equipment cheating, or he hasn't even reached post-game.

Im only lvl 160, and i have 260 hrs...

Ofcourse i play games for fun, and i enjoy the quest... Most millenials only rush to the end game content, look up a wiki for the best gear, and are OP before they know it, wondering why theyre bored so quickly...

[Dimitrii Anghelov]

75 hours in , level 110 and don't even know if i completed half the story

[Psyko]

I'm a little over 300 hours in and I've only completed the game once... Not sure how you're missing so much lol

[r35tpr00f_cl0ckw0rk]

I'm Lvl 122, 184hrs in and i've still got to go NG+ missing a few quests and items from my first playthough. Heck I didn't even do the PG-Everfall yet, just beat awakened daimon as a warrior a few hours ago. I guess it depends if you're a completionist or just rush through the storyline as 2nd commentor points out.

[Rob'sEvilTwin]

The record for speedrunning is 16 minutes I think ? That guy may have missed a bit of the game though

You can "finish" skyrim in 8 hours. Doesn't stop people from playing ot 200h+
If you rush through the main quest and think killing the dragon is "the end" then you're wrong. The game has a 200 level cap. You havent seen the third of the game. The aim is exploration and trying things out.
Try every vocation, try to make your pawn rentable, kill the dragon, descend into Everfall and after playing around and hunting for gear there finish the main game. Then there's NG+ and hardmode. Try and kill the online and offline Ur-Dragon then go to Bitterblack Isle and try to get through as it is said to be far more difficult than the main game.

The challenge level can be adjusted as you prefer, and obviously affect your playtime.
Hire less (or no) pawns, avoid to overpower your Arisen, don't acess the inventory during battles and, of course, play on hardcore difficult.
I feel sorry for your rushed experience with this great game.

On Ng+ I able to finish main story(killing dragon) in less then 5 casual hours, probably in 2 or less if I would do main quests. So yeah. FINISH main story, endgame Everfall, clear every chamber, that includes Ur-dragon, finish NG+, kill everything in BBI and get every weapon/armor(or atleast those useful for You), play atleast 2 different vocations(colors) then come back. Main story is short and You can be OP very easly.

Yes, you can. But why you SHOULD is beyond me.

He has the "Solitude" achievement, so he "completed" the game by running away from Grigori instead of fighting.

Might as well consider the game completed by being swallowed by the hydra after getting your main pawn.

[Viola]

looking through the achievements he has, it looks like he took the dragon's offer then decided that was the end of the game
