Skyrim is a pretty big game, with lots to see, do, and hack to death.<\/p>\n

So much, in fact, that apparently only 15% of players have actually finished the game – everybody else, it turns out, is much too busy buying up property and stealing everybody else’s stuff.<\/p>\n

That’s according to a report over on Kotaku<\/a>, which looks at Steam’s global Achievement tracking to work out who’s doing what in the game.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the most commonly attained Achievement is “Unbound”, awarded for making it through the game’s introductory sequence, although for one reason or another around 7% of players don’t<\/em> have it. They just don’t have what it takes to be Dragonborn, I guess.<\/p>\n

From there, it seems, many people either get lost in the wilderness, eking out a feral existence among the giants and mammoths, their humanity quite forgotten, or stop playing altogether – less than 80% of players make it to level 10, only 44% to level 25, and just 4.7% to level 50.<\/p>\n

Still, it seems Skyrim players are a conscionable bunch, at least, with only 0.4% of players reaching “Master Criminal” status for having a bounty of 1000 gold in all nine holds.<\/p>\n

As the article notes, you can check these for yourself by loading up Steam, rolling over to the Skyrim section, and hitting the Global Achievements option.<\/p>\n
