I have an interesting confession. I was just thinking about some of the best CRPGs I've played, some of the most visually impressive compared to gameplay vs… yadda yadda.
Then I started thinking about the actual games in my library that I have finished. And I have started more games than I have finished, that much is certain. I was curious if other people have had problems finishing games that "everyone" has considered iconic or necessary as part of a healthy CRPG diet.
For me… Skyrim. I'll admit it. I liked Skyrim, I guess? I don't know. It was one of the most visually impressive open-world games while at the same time being somehow lifeless. I have over a hundred hours sunk into the game, because I'm a completionist that likes doing every side-quest. I don't often play games more than once - there are simply too many of them - but Skyrim I started many, many times. I joined the Wizard's guild and explored the map and…
…was completely underwhelmed by actually doing the main story. So I never actually "finished" Skyrim, though I'd wager I've seen at least half of the content.
Maybe, one day, I'll go back and finish Skyrim.
For now, I'm playing a host of other games from Crusader King 3 to the new 'reckoning-re-reckonining-ing game thingy that I got at a discount because I had apparently purchased - but never finished - the original game.
Anyway if anyone else has any true CRPG confessions to share, I'd be interested in hearing them.
