Oh hell yeah. Skyrim is a full blown addiction to me. Hell, its so bad for me that I wasn't able to get beyond level 16 without getting bored with my character (I'm trying to work past this with my planned dark elf build).

Yes, esp in class. Exploring bandit caves, planning possible characters and the lore of Elder Scrolls beats discussing literature and pretending to be.interested in 'required reading' that bores the tar out of me. On forums and uesp in class as we speak

Also have a bad case of Alteritice....got about 5 different chars now, highest level is 25 but damn wanna try it all!

I'm also browsing the forums at work while I wait for things to print. It really helps keep me in a relaxed mood throughout the shift.

I been using studio max the last few days and working. The game is addicting and sometimes on my mind to play again, but I like to give games a break now and then and focus on other things for a while.
I noticed how quickly the game takes up my time and mostly I end up in a cave not even related to the quest i'm doing because I love roaming around.

I feel you. I havent even decided on my main/canon character (all my characters exist simultaneously and affect skyrim in their own way in my headcanon, I do that for all rpgs I play, its a roleplayer/writer thing). I want one of each race and I never have a character that 'does it all', ruins the game for me.

Plus...each time I wanna drum up a new character (still got five more to have one of each) but then I wind up wanting to build up one of my current characters. Not even completing anything, just exploring and leveling up. Its a good.thing though bc it shows the awesome replay value.this game has

Aye! One of the things I was afraid of with my Alt syndrom was getting board by playing the start over and over again, but so far this has not happened as I go somewhere else which each char, different cities, different quests and it keeps it all fresh. Also approaching even the same dungeon with different chars is still a delight as each are different (sneaking to hack and slash to raising zombie fodder :D)

May sound crazy, but I think about Skyrim when I'm laying in bed at night waiting for sleep to come. What quests I might want to do next. If I;m having trouble with mobs or dungeons, I will let my mind wander and try to come up with solutions, and then ZZZzzzzzzzz....

Sometimes I can think problems through better when my head is on the pillow.

lol! Same here, although it's not my worst video game addiction ever which would be Grand Theft Auto III, but I was in high school then and had more free time.

Exactly. Its funny because few games can do that.

My Nord barbarian comes in a bandit cave and smacks everyone around with her hammer
My Argonian charges like that and hes dead. Instead hes shanking baddies and torching them
My Breton conjures his own blades and casts wards that allow him to go toe to toe with the mages that my others have to be tactical with
My Redguard snipes them without them even knowing...saves them from having to endure a whirlwind of blades that only those dumb enough to engage him in melee
My Imperial takes the damage and gives it right back

And thats just a touch of the possibilities...if only they allowed for companion/follower creation, seeing them work together would be a blast. At leastin my fanfic/headcanon they do...sometimes

For the first week of having the game, all I wanted to do while at work was play Skyrim lol. The days couldn't go by any slower.

I have scale-itch... Don't ask how I got it.
Almost in every class in school I'm thinking about skyrim. Glitches, deaths, combat kills, all those little things occupy my thoughts.
