PC 500 hour limit?!

Is that all you got?!
...I don't think there's a limit, what would be the point? I think what people are saying is that there's 500 hours of gameplay; that is, as far as stuff to do...I think some of us have logged a lot more than 500 hours though. The game isn't infinite, at some point you're going to do everything there is to do, but that just means it's time to do it all over again.

Have to agree with this one, I have well over 500 hrs (closer to 1500 hrs) on just one of mine and the one I am currently on has over 500 hrs already and still not even halfway thru it. So I imagine that they are talking just a straight play thru not doing everything possible just the quests and no side stuff.

I don't think it's a troll, I just think the OP misunderstood what people were saying. I actually typed it into google and got a lot of people saying that, but they weren't talking about a limit on one file, just the total amount of gameplay there is...I suppose someone has arrived at an average total play time available in the game. Don't know if that's one char, or if it's the total of all the quests, like both sides of the civil war and stuff.

I saw this on the UESP forum. I understood and I misunderstood.
Turns out this was a real problem in Oblivion (the game completely fell apart after 500 hours) and some folks on the UESP forum were wondering if the same problem was going to occur in Skyrim...and if anyone had over five hundred hours on one character/save in Skyrim yet.
Sorry if this was a tempest in a teapot.

Even if this is true, somebody will make a way to solve it. Maybe a patch or cheat or something. Do not worry!

Maybe that's the reason, I really didn't have much time to play Oblivion when it first came out, then when my life settled down to where I could, GOTY came out...so I bought it, and that's really when I started playing. So if it was fixed by then, I would never had known about this issue.
I'd rather the question be asked and answered as opposed to it not being asked at all, DWFII. No worries
I can see where the meaning of a '500 hour limit' could be ambiguous.I think xSuoiveDx managed to hit that time in a month

...is not Sjadbek, he just runs him.
Or by Halloween... 2010.
I really couldn't even hypothesize. The game company that did such a thing without calling the game a free beta or trial version would be in a ridiculous amount of hot water, I wager.
