Do you have any games that you like but you never finished for any reason? Which game is it? Doesn't matter how many times you play and replay it you just never get to see the credits roll. I think Skyrim gonna be a quite common answer xD

So many. Skyrim among them. In the same vein, I've never finished Oblivion or Fallout: New Vegas, either, despite massive hour counts in all of the above and owning them across multiple systems. I think I have some kind of disorder that if I really like a game, I can't force myself to finish it, because that'd mean it's over. As a result of that, I have hundreds of games that are proably about 3/4s complete. I don't get it.

I'm in the same boat with oblivion and Skyrim. Add Morrowind to that list as well. I love open world games but have a hard time finishing them because I get distracted by side quests and then distracted by life, stop playing for awhile, then when I pick it back up I forget where I left off, have a hard time remembering the mechanics, don't want to restart from scratch, and just move on to something else. Now I've been playing (and replaying) mostly linear fps games like all the old Jedi knight games, the halo games, and a few other games that are more "on rails" that I know I'll be able to finish.

Morrowind was the only Bethesda game I beat everything for until relatively recently, and it still took me forever to finish the main quest. That was back when I was younger and could handle staying up all night to play it though.

Ha, I too delay the ending for as long as possible (even if its a mediocre game with good game mechanics). But I've wisened up and had a few games I forced myself to enjoy the ending before stuff was 100% complete. Like Jedi Survivor. And AC Valhalla.

AC Odyssey was completed eventually, but after AC Valhalla, because I put it away, tired out of side quests before the ending. Ive still not completed TES Oblivion. Or Mad Max. Or Dying Light 1. DL2 was a close call but got it done.
