That's true for me as well except for the original Fallouts and actually New Vegas -- it felt very satisfying to roll up on a village with my slaver squad and go about murdering all the males and taking women and children. It always reminded me of that opening scene in the first Conan movie.

I almost never finish games.



Sometimes I don't even start. Sometimes I restart a million times. Sometimes I take a break for one reason or another and I can't get into it when I come back. Sometimes I lose interest. Sometimes I leave one map incomplete just because. Sometimes I just don't want it to end.



I like open-ended games because they allow me to escape this habit - except not really. I haven't finished a main quest in a Bethesda game since Morrowind and it's actually getting worse. My longest Skyrim playthrough consisted mostly of wandering around aimlessly and doing random side quests.

I guess my main confession is that I usually prefer the "wrong" game in a series, at least according to Serious Gamers:

I prefer Oblivion to Morrowind.
I prefer Half Life 2 to Half Life.
I prefer Doom 3 to Doom (and certainly over Doom 2)
I prefer Ego Draconis to Divine Divinity.
I prefer Dragon Age Inquisition to Oranges.
I prefer Fallout 3 to New Vegas.
I prefer Mass Effect to Mass Effect 2 (okay, that one isn't that controversial).
I prefer The Sims 3 to The Sims 2.
I prefer Bioshock Infinite to the other Bioshocks. And of the other two I prefer 2.
And I've never felt tempted to play Lamescape Borement (© Dr D).

I think that'll do for now.

Such a casual lol jk.


I'm the complete opposite actually, but I don't really consider myself a serious gamer lol. I just play what I play.

I have a lot of unplayed games in my Steam library. Some I played a little, but if they don't pull me in right away, or have mechanics I really don't like, I usually drop them quickly. Like Metro when the game "takes over" your character during small events or whatever, is just a no-go in my world, no matter how good the game might be, I can't enjoy it :D

It was not Khajiit! I swear! Oh, for gaming. Let us see, I guess for Khajiit it would be that I do not finish games sometimes.

Ah, I miss Wii Sports...



I suppose my gaming confession is that I am a sissy when it comes to protecting NPC's. I have this irresistible need to keep them alive at all costs. Well, the "I won't kill you on sight" ones anyway...

Hmm....I've never completed the Main Story/Quest of Daggerfall, Morrowind, or Skyrim. I can't actually remember if I completed what passed for Arena's MQ, Oblivion is the only one I know for a fact I completed, despite it being my least favorite Elder Scrolls game.

- In RPG games, I like to play a singular character that does almost everything possible. Roleplaying? What's that?



- I can't bring myself to play as complete monsters. Even in games like Saints Row or Grand Theft Auto, outside the main missions, I'm very kind to NPCs providing they don't attack me first. I play the character(s) like anti-heroes.



- I kind of have a double-standard when it comes to NPCs. While I'll protect them all, my characters are more protective of women and children.



- I actually didn't mind Mass Effect 3. The final battle in London was kind of exciting.



- Sometimes I have my character strip to his/her underwear and go explore.



- In Bethesda games, I make it my goal to make my main character as stupidly powerful as possible.



- In one playthrough of Oblivion, I RP'd that my character had a crush on Martin Septim and would decorate his table and bed with flowers. She even slept in the bed with him.



- I always have this urge to throw my characters off from tall buildings, cliffs, bridges, etc. Even when I know they'll die on impact, I just like the thrill of it.

For me, I always thought GTA SA to be GTA 1 and VC to be 2.

I do this to an extreme.



I just prefer to master the basics of every game and use those to win pretty much every fight I land myself in.



Any faffing around with items and stuff, and that goes for temporary buffs and the like too, I just cannot be bothered with. All I need is a pointy stick and something to kill. I could play Doom like that tbh.

You must be my long lost twin sister. This list describes me exactly, especially with Half Life 2 and Oblivion, and Fallout 3.

I buy games that I'm never going to play. I have a whole list of games I've bought at GoG that I've never even installed. They were bargains. :hehe:



Time to buy some more. There's a sale on... ;)

Every time I try to play Morrowind or Oblivion or Skyrim it starts off vanilla, and then when I can't get in to it I try to download realism and immersion mods until the game is deemed playable. Unfortunately, it never is and my efforts devolve into finding that perfect piece of lingerie for my female character with the right body type.



So I just go back to Daggerfall.

1. My Steam account shows that I have 900 hours of X3: Terran Conflict. What it doesn't tell you is that the vast majority of that was spent with me doing something else entirely, usually sleeping, while my automated ships and factories churned out enough resources and cash to be able to construct the Hub and buy a nice fleet of battleships. I guess it's not quite cheating, but also it probably isn't in the spirit of the game to sleep throughout it.


2. I don't like most old games. I sold my Sega Mega Drive and 18 mint condition games for £90 because, upon trying it, I found the games shallow and dull.


3. I like good graphics. I know I should like good gameplay, but sometimes I buy a game just because of its graphics. I will not buy a game with bad graphics. I recently bought GTA Vice City because I love the soundtrack. I cannot play it because the graphics are horrendous.


4. I like Ubisoft games

Despite having hundreds of a good item or ammo, I will alway choose use the worse ammo/item first, even though it seems like I have a unlimited supply of those worse items.


For instance, in fallout 4, depite the gauss rifle I have being amazing an me having over 500+ ammunition.. I just dont use it.

I suppose with all the brilliant mods on offer and the sheer number available, I can very easily understand this. Oh man, I wish I had a pc. Soooo many games on my list. I haven't even played morrowind yet let alone modded morrowind.

There was that time I was playing "Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach 2" and exclaimed...



"Oh my goodness, the colour of my nail polish is clashing with my Swim Suit".



I was in a party full of other men at the time. :blush2:
