ecto69 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 why all the low times? I don't even think the main game developer or Q&A tester can complete game in less then what 50-80 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KneeKnee Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 why all the low times? I don't even think the main game developer or Q&A tester can complete game in less then what 50-80 hours. Probably a template for all the games like the difficulty threads. I think these will of great use. I often feel the guides estimated time to platinum/100% are way off. Thanks for making these, Sweet! As for Skyrim. I put about 90-100 hours to get all the trophies. That includes reloading mistakes, and losing play time because of crashes.

BlkXFactr Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Definitely 100+ hours minimum, and thanks to dlcs like Dragonborn no more fussing around new play throughs over perks that add to the time to platinum (Bullseye anyone?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezeToLife Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 At least 80 hours, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 why all the low times? I don't even think the main game developer or Q&A tester can complete game in less then what 50-80 hours. It's a template, as these are going to start appearing across the site. Even notoriously hard games like GT5 and Wipeout have "1" as a possible answer in the difficulty polls. As for my time, I have no shame in admitting I used the Oghma Infinium glitch to reach Level 81 within 6-7 hours, and then did all the main quest. I had a big backlog and didn't fancy spending double the time on the game just levelling up. So think it took me around 50-60 hours for everything, so my vote goes to 50-75. Let's hope I click the right one this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 100+ hours for sure. Bought the game in January 2012, got the Platinum a few nights ago I spent a lot of time just exploring as many people did. Looking for quests, leveling my character, which still isn't elite yet purely based on enjoying the game for what it is. But with the DLC coming out and the potentially glitched trophies, the other night I just said screw this, I'm not taking any chances with them. So, got the potentially glitched ones and it just so happens the two I needed to Platinum were Master Criminal and Wanted, so they tied in quite nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweett310 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Technically I wasn't able to get platinum due to a glitch where when I finished one of the Mage's Guild missions, the next one never started. However, I was around 85 hours when that happened, so voted 76-100. If you alter your play style enough (1 handed, 2 handed, destruction, restoration etc), you can level up to 50 pretty quickly (and by quickly I mean around 40 hours ).

Let's hope I click the right one this time I don't blame you. Oghma Infinium glitch was pretty popular in the past to experiment with the perk system, there is a steep learning curve to what certain things do and what is worth it in this game as there was no reset other than reloading a save at the time. My first play through I got up to level 50 by normal means only to discover certain fail perks not being worth it and getting the next rank may actually be worse then saving it for something else, forcing me to suspend the game and experiment. Where you may be better off using a poison or an enchanted item(s) in its place. Bullseye perk just sends a paralyze spell during your arrow shot usually hitting your target before the arrow causing them to fall and your arrow missing, but I've had the damage not count before when they were in chairs and they just get paralyzed forcing you shoot to again especially with sneak shots. Its things like that just make you want to change your perk layout for something better and use a paralyze poison in its place (which I recommend). Thankfully with the Dragonborn dlc we have a chance to reset stuff, before you had to be smart about your saves. Other times people did entire new playthroughs just to see the differences, not talking about new races or story driven sides: stormcloaks and imperials.

I made a save once I reached 81 and before I assigned perks. So I have my traditional sword-and-shield character, but if I want to go back to that save, I can make a fullly magic character if I wanted. Although now I have 30 dragon souls so I can reset my whole chatacter with full perks if I need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsDemocracy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 G'day, it took me 275 hours to 100% complete. I did everything exept discover all locations. this was the first game in years that ive played that i didnt trophy hunt exept oblivion walker wich i did at the start then just did everything after that without a trophy guide. So yes 100+ hours for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warner1281 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Got my plat in about 70 hours. Did just about every side quest I could find and took my time with most things, though I did use the glitches to level up everything and get my armor/weapons maxed out around the 50 hour mark, so that made everything else fly.

olsen77 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 100+ for me. My save was at 101 hours when I got the platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah Pook Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 i got the plat at 129 hours. you could do it much faster im sure, but i think its going to be 100+ hrs for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy22 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 100+. no glitch things to level up or whatever. this game i didnt care for trophies just had fun and still having fun. its the only game in a month ive bought. so this game is a money saver from games that only take a few hours to beat.

Ah Pook Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 just finished out the DLC and got my 100% back, ended up with 165 hrs on the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killualll8tr Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Took me 177 hours, level 62. Probably would of done it faster if I didn't do all those side quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainteal Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am at 103 right now, working on last 2 trophies for platinum. There were probably a few hours I was paused sitting on this website or facebook, but close enough for government work I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez_Tickle Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm on 120 hours and my trophy count is at 40%! I'm easily distracted by things appearing on the compas as I'm wandering around and explore everything, it's a cracking game though so why not?

IamCaboose Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 It was easily over 100+ for me. Probably around 120-130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HloodyBell Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 100+. I've already Spent more than That, And haven't gotten The "platinum" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykay Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 My save file had around 115 hours when I finished. Some of that time could have been cut, but it seems like 100+ is the fair estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
