How many hours of gameplay will be put in to Skyrim?

Im buying Skyrim, but before i buy it, I need a question answered. How many hours of gameplay will be put into the game. Because I hope its not like fable, where after you complete the 4-10 hours of the story and beat the game, your stuck doing nothing, and sitting there like, "ok what now?" Skyrim wont be a short game, will it?

Answer:

4-10 hours ha! Bathesda announced a while back that Skyrim guarantees 300+ hours to complete 100% of their custom made missions but in addition the creation engine they have in Skyrim creates random quests sending you to places you've never been and even once you've been everywhere you'll get collection and assassination as well as raiding quests and likely more dragon quests. Director of Skyrim Todd Howard announced that they called this "radiant quest" and that it would give you not almost infinite quests but literally infinite quests. This game has easily over 500+ hours in it all depending on how much you enjoy living in another world. Todd also announced that there are INFINITE dragons....that's right a never ending stream of them. So you'll always have fun there and you'll know that boss-like fights await you even after game completion. Towns all have an economy and no not like fables more like if ANY crafting building (lumber mill, blacksmith, etc) is destroyed that town, city, or village will have a shortage in everything they make as well as in everything made with what they make. Let's say the lumber mill is destroyed you'd find less staves, arrows, bows and anything else with any kind of wood on it even if they are created by the Blacksmith he had to get the materials from somewhere. Skyrim factors all of this in.
