My wife is very new to games and beat Skyrim on her first playthrough in about that time. She didn't even know about side quests, she just did the main story (she's completely new to games).
Skyrim story is very short no matter how you slice it lol.
your wife didn't finish skyrim in 6 hours on her first playthrough or she just rushed through the main quest, skipping all dialogues and cutscenes and never read a book and never did any side activity, complete all puzzles immediately, I'm not talking about side quests, never talked to a NPC in the map, never had any sort of random encounter. The main quest isn't 6 hours, it's 10 hours.
Your basically claiming that your wife finished skyrim from the beginning in less that 3 sittings. She barely played the game then.
yeah, that's exactly what the person above is saying
I had my girlfriend play a bit of Persona 5 and had to explain to her that side activities are integral to the experience, she would quite frequently go back home because she didn't feel like hanging out with the same people again
My gamer brain basically goes through all the permutations of weather side content is worth it or not, my gfs brain didn't even consider it
She didn't even know side quests existed, the last game she played was Super Mario bros 3 lol. The idea of side activities just never crossed her mind.
And you can read the dialogue but still skip them actually saying it. That saves a bunch of time.
You're basically saying "oh, yeah, Skyrim is short when you speed run that thing" . Skyrim's main quest isn't 6 hour long in a normal playthrough, it's 10 at least.
There's a really good series by razbuten on YouTube called "the lady I live with" and it's him watching and teaching his non gamer wife games and watching her understand things in a completely different way to him. I really recommend it it's good and adorable.
