Guilty! Loving it though.
Especially when I was getting all cocky and started firing arrows at some semi naked guy in the distance near an octopus or something weird..
He got pissed and ran towards me, he was obviously a bit further away than I realised because he was twice the size of me and smashed me into the sky with his mad club thing.

So how long does this game take to complete? I've never played a game longer than Final Fantasy X.

Well, you can follow the core quest line and finish it pretty quickly (one of the devs did it in a mite over two hours) or you can spend literally hundreds of hours doing other stuff without ever touching the main storyline.

Main story can be done in like 3 days. To get all achievements it'd take you.. how long have you got?

So it could well be worth me giving it a go then, I am partial to a project.
To complete? Erm... Well, let's put it this way, the game guide which largely deals exclusively in quests alone is almost 900 pages long.
I'd say you're looking at close to 200 hours, but I guess if you followed some sort of guide and grinded it out it could be done in about 60.
But if you're playing it casually a few hours a day and just figuring stuff out on your own, then I'd go as far as saying you'd never truly complete the game before you got bored of it.

I doubt I'd bother without the guide in that case. Wouldn't stick to it, but as a back up of sorts. Is it a repetitive game in the sort of quests you do etc?
It's so hard to answer that question... in terms of quests, yes, it can be. It's generally "go here, kill him, collect that" etc. but the quest design is just about good enough to stop it being irritating. But the quests are honestly about 10% of the actual game. I spend well over half of my time on the game just wondering about, discovering places and stuff.
For example, once I just ran up a mountain north of Whiterun. I started because I killed a wolf with a stealth shot from my bow, then spotted a deer in the distance and took off after it. The deer got away, but I noticed a sort of abandoned ruin halfway up the mountain. Upon getting there, I noticed a drop off to some sort of altar. I scaled down the mountain, and saw some dragon ruins on the wall, inspected it, voila, I learn Frost Breath Shout. I go to leave, then there's a screech in the air, a big feck off dragon is flying about. I'm well undergeared for it so I run for cover, find a hidden doorway, open it and I'm inside a dungeon of some kind. And off I go...
During that playing session of about two hours I didn't touch a quest and didn't worry about that fact for a minute.
Another time I started off trying to find a lighthouse, a guy runs up to me and gives me a bow for safe keeping. He's clearly running away from something so, naturally, I kill him. I intend to keep the bow, but a hunter turns up and asks me if I have saw someone running through, I give him the bow back as it turns out the guy had stolen that from him.
But that's a completely random event. Every person in the game goes about a life of their own.
You literally have to play it to understand it.

It's no use buying the guide when you've got the interwebs at your disposal. http://www.uesp.net/ is pretty comprehensive. You'd be better spending that money on an Ebepton third kit with free 'Felliani' printing.

What have you lot called your character?
If you haven't chosen comedy names then hang your heads.
I just found out I've inadvertently created a Battlemage by the way. Sooooo nerdy.
