I don't know how you do it, man. My character was as powerful as he was going to get 70 hours into the game and the story just wasn't enough to keep me going. I tried going back to it just to explore and finish up the different story lines and just couldn't do it. I need either the character progression or a good story to keep me going in any game. I know I've said it before, but Skyrim is a Blizzard's inventory system away from being the perfect game.

I honestly don't understand how you could be maxed out in 70 hours. By maxing enchanting and smithing?

I've meticulously cleared almost all of the dungeons and forts around Whiterun and Falkreath. I haven't been to any other holds yet and I haven't gone to the Greybeards yet. I am 24th level.

Now, that being said, I only have about 75 hours in this build. I have restarted several times. I am playing on Master difficulty with a Hold Guard build - using hold guard armor, 1-hand with shield. Not pumping smithing except for the occasional gear upgrade. Not using enchanting AT ALL and I am also not using any enchanted gear or spells.

So that means I spend more time than average sleeping, resting, and otherwise being cautious. Random saber cats or trolls can be instant death if I am not overly cautious.

He's maxed out in terms of best-in-slot gear, and the necessary perks for the build (heavy armor, dual-wielder, enchanter/blacksmith). I guess I could go back and train up his magic and sneaking skills and maybe medium armor and bow skills, but I just don't see the point. The dude can pretty much 1 shot anything in the game. I guess I could increase the difficulty, but it wouldn't make anything any more interesting because I can't progress any further anyway, it would just make exploring more challenging.

Yeah going heavy on enchanting/smithing can really unbalance the game. I won't ever have the best leveled gear because I only use stuff that fits my build from RP perspective. I use light armor vs. heavy for starters and since i am a Stormcloak sympathizer, my character refuses to use anything Elven or Glass. I started with Stormcloak armor up to becoming Thane of Whiterun. I then wore the Whiterun set, imagining myself as a personal emissary of Jarl Balgruuf as I scoured the countryside killing bandits and necromancers.

I'm now doing side quests around Helgen and Falkreath, wearing full Falkreath guard armor. And as I mentioned before, my character doesn't like magic or magic users, so not only I am not enchanting stuff, I am not using anything that I find that is enchanted either. I use an amulet of Stendarr but that's because he considers it divine blessing rather than "magic".

Don't know why but I dusted off the old Dragon Age Origins so I could hit every single codex. It is a relief from Guild Wars 2 for a while.

I'm playing Dead island and BLOPS2 on PS3. Was gonna get Far Cry3 but wanna finish Dead Island first.

Not really the game you wanna play for three hours before going to bed.

God I have too many. All unbeaten games I am trying to juggle right now are Assassin's Creed 3, Mass Effect 3, Gears of War 3, Far Cry 3, and Black OPS 2.

My online games right now are Black OPS 2 and Gears of War 3

I'm playing LEGO Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I know it's an easy kiddie game but I find those LEGO games incredibly entertaining.

Skate 3
Bioshock 2
Gave up on Black Ops 2. The first month is a lot of fun, but it wears off quick.

Basically I'm just biding my time playing stuff until Sim City 5 comes out
