Today a friend of mine was joking around about how I've been playing Fallout games seemingly non stop over the years, and he's right. Only breaking from it every once in awhile to play new Mass Effect and Halo games or to appease angry girlfriends. He asked me how many hours I've invested into the Fallout universe and I cant say for certain but if I had to guess I'd say around 2000-3000 [originally said 6500+ but that was too much] hours. For years Fallout has been my go-to series ever since Fo3 came out, then NV, and then I bought a PC and started playing them all over again, I even went and played through all the classic Fallout games. I've squeezed as much Fallout time into my life as possible over the years, and the mods just keep me coming back and doing it all over again.

So if you had to guess, how much time would you say you've put into Fallout?

Swear to god it's over 2000 hours considering i played it over the years on different multiple playthrough's it's almost bewildering that I have yet to get bored of Fallout but those SWEET SWEET mods keep making me crawl back.

I know right? It's crazy how many hours you can sink into these same games and not get bored, and the mods just make it worse! Haha. And my 6500+ hours is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's really hard to say approximately how many hours I've spent.

Steam tells me:

New Vegas: 335 hours [Believe it or not I haven't ever completed New Vegas Crazy, huh?]
Skyrim: 924 hours
Fallout 3 is the CD version so no records through Steam, but I imagine, having completed the game numerous times, somewhere in the 1000-1500 hour mark.

6500 hours? That's a little overboard. You're going to give yourself DVT at that rate  

prolly around 600 hours I played it for months on the xbox before switching to pc

Steams claims I've only put 430ish hours into NV, should really be a bit higher for game time, and that's not counting all the time spent tweaking mods. Roughly the same for FO3, which steam utterly failed to keep track of. I expect the hours in NV to go up a good bit, as I finally have a super stable install going

Surely into the thousands, I got Fallout 3 pretty early and New Vegas on the day of its release.

I played Fallout 3 on the xbox 360 for I'd say a good 400 - 500 hours, Fallout New Vegas on the 360 for a good 300 - 400 hours, Fallout 3 on the pc for 31 hours and FNV on the pc for 285 hours.

Split between the pc and console version, probably around 400 altogether. Fallout 3 was probably twice that and im 1200+ into skyrim. The numbers will probably get depressing if i do the math and find out how many days ive but into these games haha.

I think you speak for the majority of us! Don't think there is any other game that is close to having all the best and varied mods to keep you on a leash

I probably have about 500 hours between the two on PC and about 100 hours on console on NV.
Mods keep me playing and its just a good game.

Since i wasnt running fallout 3 through steam i would say about 400 hours. Fallout NV i put about 250 hours into. I played F3 for like 40 hours on xbox so i switched to pc because the mods just make the game 10x better plus not enough armor for me lol

Around 400 hours plus another 200 from my console maybe more.

If I count all my fallout games (1,2,3,NV)....roughly 2500 hours or so....
I think I have close to 175 hours on my Daughter of Ares in NV...
Only about 80 or so on my main (had to remake him). Also NV.
I know I had over 600 on Fallout 3 on my old PS3 account...
I'm not addicted or anything,I can quit anytime I want.....just let me get one more stimpak and I'll stop....honest!

If I counted all my saves I have for all the Fallout games I played, I would only have around 1500+ hours. Mods always being new content which basically a new expansion pack for me.

Including modding them, probably at least 2 years solid between fo3, nv, and ttw. Total addict who happens to be an insomniac house husband with no real obligations lol.

over 200 hours on pc and I'm not sure about consoles I played it on xbox for months before switching to pc now i can't stop playing it

Well this post convinced me to check, and I've clocked up a good 485 New Vegas hours (according to steam). I don't know how to feel about this

It's crazy how many people have put hundreds of hours into FNV and still never finished the game. It's probably because the ending sucks so much, ever since the game came out I've been waiting for a DLC to extend the game past the ending credits like Broken Steel did with Fo3. Unfortunately that's a DLC that never came :c I wonder if there are any mods that do this.

Hey Archangel, check out the mod CAGE (Continue After Game Ending), that might be what you're looking for. I haven't tried it myself, maybe you can take a look and tell us what it's like?
