Most of these "250 hours" gameplay involves walking around, right? I know because in oblivion the "400 hour" game I completed the majority of the subquests in under 100 hours, majority of which I was walking around doing nothing.

Unlike those 6 hours games where majority of your time is usually spent fighting, or something.

if you want it to be 250 hours of walking, you're entitled to do so...I quick-travel.  With all the dungeons I go into, all the shouts I claim, all the dragons I kill, people I fight...etc...well, it's a lot.  my current game I'm only half done and I've got 250 hours, and I only walk when I'm not in a hurry or want to sniff the roses. 

As an aside, Skyrim is in many ways about immersion, walking from place to place to get a feel for the land, seeing random peeps on the road and random missions/occurences is part of the game.  It may not be as exciting as Call of duty "as done by michael bay" modern warfare 2 and 3 action-all-the-time testrosterone fest that's all style, no substance, but there's plenty of action.  

I was talking including fast-travel. Even in caves all I did was walk/run around. There is a good reason why people think a 20 hour RPG is a short game, whereas a 20 hours action game is a long one.
