What keeps you playing?

jmd · 06-26-2002, 11:19 PM

I have just about reached the point in a game where I know that there isn't anything out there that I can't beat, or buy or do.

Im sure many of you have extremely powerful characters for which this is true also, so what keeps you playing? and what are you doing in the game?

Just wondering

hmmm..I keep playing this game because I was waiting for NWN and I have nothing else to play at that moment.

Same here. I am at level 55+ and still playing because I have nothing better to do and I have yet to get my hands on a copy of NWN.

Yeah I am waiting for NWN too, although I will keep on playing MW even when I get it.

I've given myself objectives to complete getting to the highest rank of the 6 guilds/factions I have joined, freeing a whole bunch of slaves, progressing along the main quest,...

I am level 50, after I reached 100 in Long Blade and Strength I started using Short Blade to keep a slight challenge.

I'm at Level 40 and there are still some tough challenges, plus lots of quests still to do. I am back on the main quest, after leaving it to do a lot of little side quests and faction quests.

The game is fun. I just got a new video card, which makes the gaming experience new again.

Also, I will probably finish a heck of a lot more quests before quitting this game and going on to NWN. It's also kind of addicting. I can spend hours immersed in this game.

Same here. I'll just keep playing this till NWN arrives in my backward little country. I'm level 30-something and already the main quest is way too easy for me. Maybe I shouldn't have tackled all the fighters guild quests first.

I am playing MW for all of the quests... So much to do in the game...

I am also playing NWN for all of the action...

Depends on which day of the week it is, and what my mood is...

Going back and forth between Dungeon Seige, MW, NWN, Arcanum, Evil Islands...

As you can tell, I just enjoy RPG's, and have no problem switching back and forth between games... Keeps me from getting bored with one game, and becoming burned out on gaming in particular...

Hell, then again, I also read 3 or 4 books at the same time.. Keeps my mind active and is actually a good mental workout, trying to juggle all of the plots in the books, and all of the quests in the games...

I tend to play one game exclusively *alot* then leave it for a while to play something else and come back to it re-enthused...

I think ive reached my morrowind limit for the time being, ive started using the construction set to make new stuff and am having more fun with this aspect than with the game at the moment

I can only read one book at a time though otherwise i would completely forget what has happened in each book and mix up storylines/characters etc!
