Ive found recently that ive been pulled back into the magic of this game, i REALLY REALLY want to start a new character and get moving on kicking some Raider ass out in the wastes.
Sadly, Whenever i put the disc into my console and load it up, i lose the spark and excited that i longed for and only end up for for half an hour to an hour before i come off...
Is it because i dont have enough spare time to RP? I feel like that could be it, but still writing this now i really want to just put it in and let the good times role

Some of my characters start hesitantly. I play at an hour at a time. Until the destructive juices start to flow and then I throw down for more than one hour. The game should be fun. If it isn't, what's the point? Leave and come back when it feels "fun" to you. FO3 is in rotation with Oblivion, Fable 3, ME2 and Crysis 2.

Thats the thing though, i absolutely adore this game...
ive invested hundred of hours into this game and for the feeling to vanish like that is weird

Yo jist need a break. Come on back in a couple years when everyting is digital/download only.

Maybe it's the beginning. I know every time I start a new game the beginning is a pain to get through because it's so boring. I feel the same with new vegas.

i found my old headset and decided that im gonna get back into it, build the atmosphere etc

I know exactly how you feel. Oblivion was MY game! It was the best I've ever played. I spend thousands of hours running around in Cyrodiil and I think I know every nook and cranny! I just dl the GOTY game from Steam and only played for maybe two hours and now it's just sitting there on my hard drive. I guess it's because you LOVE it so much and you remember the wonderful times, but when you load it, it feels a bit stale. Maybe you remember the quests that were a pain in the butt and you sigh inwardly because you know what you must do.

Starting a new character is fun for me, because I like the feeling that you have to rummage in junk piles, just to make a few coins or bottle caps. To kill some bandits or raiders for their gear, so you don't run around in rags. LOL

How do you revive your passion for one of your favorite games that you played to exhaustion? I usually try to set a few objectives for my character. Like head to the Imperial City, join the Thieves Guild etc. Just try to think of your new character of someone who knows NOTHING of the wastelands. And try to RP that.

Right now though, I'm totally hooked on Fallout 3, so Oblivion has to wait a while. LOL

i had that problem a few times. just started playing fallout 3 after a huge break. b4 i playid countless of other games, and comming back to the game after months is fun. that doesnt work for you then idk what will.
