Back to the original post... Incidently, I never seem finish any of my RPG's. Why is that?
NWN (all add-ons) unfinished
ESIII (all add-ons) unfinished
Dungeon Siege unfinished
Baldurs Gate I & II unfinished
Wiz8 unfinished
Seems like I always spend so much time with character development, that I get bored. Additionally, like those perfectionists out there, I like to do what ever I can before I finish the game which inevitably never happens.
Bugginess can also be a pain. You get all the way through a game and realize that a there was a bug, something didn't drop, etc. that ruined your gaming experience.
Here is my rant... skip if you like!
--------------------------------------------
Ideally there will be an RPG that would be designed so that only so many quests can be offered at a time, leaving the rest to be time dependent, quests dependent on other quests and many quests which are not even offered if a particular path is made. Time for Character development/training should be intentionally designed in the game
So far the RPG that comes closeest to this in my experience is ESIII, but its lack of puzzles (ie. Monkey Island style) takes the the fun out.
Wiz8 makes a good stab at bringing back puzzles and the gadgeteer concept is great. One of these days game producers will combine all great concepts from great games we all know and love and make an RPG with no ending (The is one but its on the internet and you pay for your play time... bit pricy)
