Total Time on Oblivion?

[Icefire]

There was a Iron man contest for Oblivion a little time ago and i just wanted to know what peoples total amount of time on there best charater was?

Mine i think is 17 hours.

[rumblecat]

I just checked and was vaguely horrified to find I'd clocked 83 hours, and still wasn't finished the main game yet...

[AntLibertine]

Hmm...120hours+.....*cough*

Spent way too long on this fine game.

[MikeHaggar]

Around 120 hours here.

[DifferentClass]

I have two characters, both about 30 hours, it didn't keep me that gripped, well I suppose 60 hours combined is gripped enough.

[Bob Syko]

I think around 50 hours for my current character, that's with all the guild and main quests done.. All in all I'd say oblivion has eaten about 200 hours of my life.

I wouldn't call it a high score though, just a depressing sign that I have that much time to throw away on a man with purple corn rows.

[Rotek]

I'm not sure. Altogether, I think I've played for between 50-70 hours between something like 5 characters. Probably my highest with a single one is about 20.

[-IronHide-]

At last count: 160+ hours, still haven't finished the main quest.

[unhip23]

I clocked up well over 100 hours without finishing the main quest, but following an unfortunate "incident" my game saves were wiped and it was all for nought. At least I kept my Achievements.... Phew.

[Linkman]

105 hours I believe.

[Abooie]

80 odd hours (including Shivering Isles).

To -IronHide- .. 160 hours is insane!

[liquid_snake]

114, all with the one character. And Ive just done the main game

[chixiethepixie]

20 hours a drop in the ocean, i kept getting distracted by side quests-i need to dig it out and play it some more

I think I'm going to (finally) start playing this - but I'm finding the whole character creation a little daunting. I keep hearing things about selecting major skills as ones you don't use so that your overall level stays low while your other skills are higher relatively?

You can make it as easy or complicated as you like. Each level you get between 2 and 5 attribute points reward and this is dependant on what skills you've increased, there assigned attribute and by how much. The thing is when you go up a level is based on how many skill points you've gone up in your major skills only so if you end up using only really these you'll mostly just get +2's at level up time.

I started really trying to use minor skills so I'd get +5's but in truth it's way more work than it's worth. Just pick and character, play it how you like and if it starts getting too hard (or easy) just adjust the difficulty meter.
