This question popped into my head when I was playing Void Stranger. I just got done with the game and will probably never play it again despite not finishing it. The game is genuinely amazing but it just gets so demanding as you progress through it. I ended up watching the second half of the game on YouTube.

What is your favorite game that you feel is really cool and special but you never felt the pull of actually finishing it, and why?

    Fallout 4 I have around 450 hours in it, and like 10 are in character creation and 400 are in settlement building.

    I have not meet the Institute, I have had two run in with the Railroad, I have defended Far Harbor when you first arrive, I have meet Virgil ones and I have never been on board the Prydwen. I did get to some big fight in the Automatron DLC after you build the brain bot, but I have now idea if it was the last or not.

    But I absolutely love the game to bits and can roll play in it for hours.

      Wow, target audience for settlement building actually exist! It was always a point of frustration to me, I build necessary minimum for some quests and that’s it, partially being sad that they could’ve put those resources to make main loop of Fallout part of the game better

        I kind of agree with you, to be honest.

        Instead of putting this two things together and half assing them both, we could have had a more Fallouty Fallout 4 and a spin-off like Fallout: The Minutemen Story where you work in a Minutemen like faction somewhere to get it establish and working. With a much more settlement focused gameplay and with the big baddies being some raider factions, you have to deal with in different ways.
