Wow, that is a lot of time for ESO in a relatively short period.

[Renee]

All right Buffy!

Did you really have exactly 4,000 hours or are those estimates?

[ghastley]

I don't know if it was used in this case, but ESO has a /played "command" that you can type into text chat, and it shows the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds you played that individual character.

I've never bothered collecting them together across the whole account, and I presume Acadian would only count the various Buffy's and not add Sir Acadian. I also have no idea if the time spent on load screens is included, but that would NOT be insignificant.

[Acadian]

Thanks, folks. I was pretty surprised how the time in ESO has really added up. Ghastley has the right of it - /played command on each variant, then add and convert. I did include Acadian (not many hours) as he and Buffy really are inseparable and she does indeed ride along inside her armored tank when he goes out. There were a couple of short played aborted variants that are no longer available to count but, overall, the 6500 figure is pretty accurate.

Skyrim is easy. Steam says 3850 on the hours so, yes, 4k is rounding off some.

For Oblivion, I kept pretty good records back then, largely through Wyre's A-bomb counter so I think 4k is pretty accurate there.

Today marks three years in ESO for Buffy so I decided to crunch & compare some numbers regarding her very long sage across several games set in Tamriel -

Oblivion 2007-2014. 4000 hours played.
Skyrim 2014-2016. 4000 hours played.
ESO 2016-2019. 6,500 hours played.

I had no idea that ESO had eclipsed either of its predecessors for her. Time flies when an elf is having fun.

I wonder how many hours I've got in ESO? Buffy is such an amazing character in ESO! I remember meeting her for the first time in game after all these years of hearing and reading about her = and she was everything I had always pictured her to be; but even more! She blossomed from being timid about using her talents in front of others to being one of the most developed Healers and powerful in combat characters I've ever seen!

I have a screen of her on one of her first days in ESO; (and already displaying a wardrobe full of changes) :

This took place before One Tamriel; so Calia was the only one who could actually meet Buffy back then since she was the only one in the Aldmeri Dominion.

Nice numbers there, Buffs!

[ghastley]

Naturally, I had to go do the /played calculation on mine, the excuse being that Bo just completed her mount training. She has played for 149 hours, and the whole crew adds up to 2665 hours (which is 111 days and 1 hour).

[Darkness Eternal]

Woah! Those are insane numbers! Very impressive! Buffy is quite the seasoned adventurer, especially when we put all of those hours together! Legendary!

I still hope one day to share an adventure with Buffy in ESO!

[Acadian]

Thanks again for the support and kind words everyone. MALX, what a fun screenshot - I remember when we made it.

[Grits]

[Renee]

Oh gosh, that's right! Buffy's an Aries! In fact today is one of my characters' birthdays too. Well have a good one, Buffy. And good catch, Grits.

[Acadian]

Aww, thank you, dear friends! To be honest, Buffy and I had completely forgotten about her birthday this year until we were joyously surprised to see these posts. She did have a good day, soloing a couple pledges and doing some 'venturing in Malabol Tor.

[mALX]

Aw shucks, I went out of town yesterday and missed Buffy's Birthday!!!

I always remember seeing Miss Buffy in her Birthday suit; but better wait till Jerric is done serving the cake ...

Hope you had a wonderful Birthday, Buffy! Sorry I missed it!




** Hey, didn't Buffy share a Birthday with someone else too?

[Acadian]

Thank you, mALX! Great that you still have that old screenshot. Yes, when Aravi (King Coin's Khajiit) confessed she didn't know her own birthday, Buffy offered to share hers.

[Acadian]

Buffy’s still adventuring in Tamriel during the Second Era. Here are some fairly recent images of her travels –

Fishing at Moonlit Cove in Pellitine.

Pretty dungeon!

The Companions in Coldharbour preparing to foil Molag Bal's plans.

Night sky over Skyrim.

Inside an ancient Argonian Xanmeer in Murkmire.

[Lopov]

Careful that she doesn't catch a sea sload!

Pretty lighting in the dungeon.

Anyone is small compared to Lyris, but Buffy even more so.

Clear sky, nice moons.

Watch out for traps!

[SubRosa]

Pretty water and an adorable pixie in the Pellentine pic

That Pretty Dungeon kind of gives me the creeps, because I have learned to associate that glowing lichen on the walls with Falmer

Neat pic of the two moons

I love the overgrown, flooded, Argonian ruin

[macole]

That is indeed a pretty dungeon. It's the kind of cavern I would like to explore.

[mALX]

Aw, Buffy hasn't posed for pics in a long time!!!! My favorite has to be the first shot; Buffy fishing on that beautiful beach! That is SO Buffy to be near the water and living "off the land," I love that shot so much!

I am pretty sure I know where she is in the Murkmire shot; she looks so tiny in that shot!

Love all these; thank you for posting these!

[Renee]

That is indeed a pretty dungeon. It's the kind of cavern I would like to explore.

Yeah, me too. This entire game is really pretty.

We really need a Lopov shot of Buffy. Or just a closer-up face shot, at least.
