How many characters do you have?

    I know I really enjoy going through builds here, but I can't find the time to try out most of them (mainly because of my activities in real life). Either they only become playable in the recommended way once they complete a lot of quests, or they have to be played on a high-leveled character, which is hard to achieve for newly developed character.

    So, I want to ask you guys, how many characters do you guys have in Skyrim? Do you still play them actively on a daily basis? 

    Let me know... :)

    That's a lot. Do you still play them often?

    Now? 0

    Overall? Probably 10-20 (not counting restart-its characters)

    That's just like what I've experienced so far :p

    I can only play one at a time. If I have finished one's main quest, I'm saving it for some quest mods which I'd like to try out.

    Honestly I lost track within the first couple of months after the game came out 

    At the moment I think I have about 10 different characters saved, none of which I'm playing since I'm giving the game a rest so as to play some other things. I'll come back to it like I always do... I think I have a problem

    Probably around 30ish total. Some I've split off to make different versions of, but not many. I'd say about 8 have more than 50 hours on them, one has 120 something. About 850 hours of playing total is my best guess.

    13 last I checked, 3 of which were made by my 5-year-old boy (Golden Boy, Yellow Zig-Zag & Shrek)!

    I play 2, maybe 3, at a time regularly.

    Oh dear god, let's not count the thousands I've made because of constant restarting or my testing characters, or character's that I spent time making look nice and then scrapped because their nose was ugly.

    I've made at least a 100 fully fleshed characters, probably another hundred that were without any kind of roleplay. Maybe they weren't played past level 20 or 30 but sometimes I make character's that don't need to go that far. At the moment I have about 3 running (one just started tonight) all of them for builds but it is very rare that I go back and restart an old one. 

    As for playing on a daily basis, well it's been about a month since I played before tonight. I recently got a PS4 and played Dying Light, Last of Us and Advanced Warfare so no time for Skyrim.

    Same. I play around with character creation. So many in played characters. I usually get to level 15 and then I quit XD

    I can relate to the appearance issue of the character. Most of my broken ones are females i tried to create just for aesthetics and serve no purpose whatsoever.

    XD Same, try to make them as beautiful as possible, you say, eh she ok, then get five levels into, look at Aela, and say, Screw this! I'm making a Dunmer werewolf! or something like that.

    If I have more than one character saved at a time, my XBox tends to freeze.

    About 8, but I mainly stick with two.

    That really matter? That I actually play consistently..? Two. I got on this bandwagon just a couple months ago, so I'm really only starting to look at different play styles and specific builds. I have a few others I've started out to around level 10, but they're a bit stymed right now. Mostly because my warrior kween dunmer wants to see and do literally EVERYTHING before I can truly pass the torch. I have a khajiit I've been building out slowly and will be the next one I really focus on... but the kween comes first.

    I have around 20-30 that I've kept, as well as countless deleted characters who never made it very far. I'm also in the 6000s now in saves, which is pretty sweet.

    Haha, these are across all three platforms and no, I don't play them all as many are done and dusted. About half are Argonian, thank you
