Rampant Games - Are RPGs Too Long?

That's why I like the Chapters concept.
One only plays from chapter to chapter.
In Medieval SIMs there is
1 Ambition -> several quests from which you pick
1 quest -> several sub-tasks from which you pick
1 sub-task -> meanwhile you have to do
2 mandatory tasks within
1 day or you become punished (even the monarch !).

Not a stated preference.
The point here is what brings the urge of finishing games in a short time.
You can answer to it in matter of preferences but the point itself…
