The popularity of the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was evident when it became the fastest-selling game on Steam ever and topped the most-played charts on the service, blowing past the likes on Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike and Modern Warfare 3 (in fact, it’s still leading the pack right now).

But now there’s another way to measure the RPG’s success; according to Bethesda game director Todd Howard who dropped the nugget during his DICE keynote yesterday, the playtime for the PC version of Skyrim is, on an average, 75 hours.

We’ll go ahead and call that damn impressive, and continue dreaming of what may lie ahead.
