Don't take those Skyrim values for real. The client is probably only accurate for fallout 4. But I have played Skyrim for a lot longer and for quite a few years. Maybe it has to do with offline playing or some mods I've used. I am definitely not a fan of Steam and only buy with them when there is no other way. I may even have disabled the client while playing Skyrim. I'm now also switching to Skyrim SE as you may have seen.

And I've just checked, I've completed the Skyrim achievement "Unbound", which is the very first achievement you get almost automatically, about 3 years after I got some of the others. That's the Steam client doing it.

Indeed - don't take it to Serious, but looks we both wasted a lot of Time with these 2 ;-)

Playtime? easy

Fallout 4 will be way more then skyrim because of the settlement building and also different factions to join

Fallout 3 1200 hours
Fallout 4 950 hours
oblivion 600
Skyrim 550
Vegas 400

i am still playing Fallout 4 and occasionally Skyrim. Fallout 3 i spent a couple weeks last month modding and could not get it to play, so i won't be going back to that in the near future. Vegas i plane can't stand. Oblivion i am trying (and failing) to get Morroblivion installed. Oblivion itself i plan on playing some time down the line. Just not sure when. Other than Vegas, these are all Bethesda games. Yes, I am a Bethesda fanboy. But not a blind one. I can see the flaws of their games and still love them more than any other company's games.

Wow! 1200 hours of Fallout 3! I'm even more amazed at 400 hours of Vegas and 600 hours of Oblivion. Well I guess that's just because everyone has different preferences. I myself didn't much care for these 3.

[Wurm65]

Fallout 4
392 hrs on record - all achievements finished

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

the first 20 hours or so of such games i learn the mechanics and start a bunch of builds until i find one i like. With oblivion, i had this orc vampire assassin that was quite fun to play. I got a solid 200 plus hours out of him. Then i had several dozen other character of various times.

Fallout 3 i just loved so much that i kept making characters and running them through the world. And i did a lot of walking from place to place. Also, some of the dlc added a solid 20 or so hours. And Vegas was a matter of dlc and the fun of the game mechanics. The world just didn't have enough interesting detail for me to spend more time there. And Skyrim...so much freedom that i am sure to eventually match my fallout 3 numbers.

let me note that i am a former console peasant. In order to figure out times, i went back and counted times on save files. So my steam numbers will not match.

This thread made me realise that Steam is horrible at keeping track of time played.

Fallout 4 - 648 hours

Skyrim - 419 hours*

Fallout 3 110 hours

Fallout New Vegas 266 hours

Oblivion - 0 hours according to Steam (lol, it should be about 50 or so I rushed through most of the game cause it was boring as hell, most of my playtime was spent doing the Shivering Isles content because that was at least interesting. Kept meaning to do a heavily modded playthrough but because i hated the game so much I never bothered)

Morrowind - Way too much of my life wasted. Its impossible for me to determine the exact hours spent on that game, played it a few hours a day, almost every day, for nearly 7 years though.

* This should be more like 1,200. It seems Steam isn't keeping track of time played for games after a few years have passed. For instance it has me with 386 hours in Team Fortress 2, when that used to be listed as nearly 2 thousand. I stopped playing TF2 around 2011 when Valve decided to change it from a team based FPS to a hat farming simulator, heck, the orange box was what got me to finally install steam in the first place (I hated the very idea of Steam when it was first released so I intentionally missed out on Half-Life 2 until the OJ box was released, still don't much care for Steam as a network to be honest).

[firestorm]

Skyrim 1057 hours, misleading info however.
creation kit accounts for the largest percentage of that,
ya know the build/script/ingame test thing going on.

Fallout 4 556 hours, same basic thing as above.
but actual playtime is higher

I'm not going to post my hours in the games. You'll have to look it up.
