Decline RPGs that you regret finishing

[toro]

Fallout 4 - the only Bethesda game I ever finished.

 

[Carrion]

Finishing Dragon Age: Origins was like a bi-curious adventure taken too far.

 

[NotSerious]

Neverwinter Nights. Was a young enough kid at launch high off Baldurs Gate 2.

Kept waiting for it to get good :/

 

[jackofshadows]

Divinity: Original Sin. As far as I know, everyone who did finish it, agreed on one thing: the first location is the best and each successive one gets worse and worse. The final part is just a mindless slog. The fact that you have to collect every soulstone for that doesn't help. The fact that its gibberish lore becomes absolutely unbearable towards the end doesn't help either. Fucking waste of time.

Actually not a shit shout. But the DLC had the game grow on me.

 

[urmom]

Mass Effect. Pillars. Any Larian RPG. I'm on the fence about Wasteland 2.

I was smart and stopped Numenera pretty early on.

 

[purpleblob]

Jade Empire, Neverwinter Night 2 OC, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, Pillars of Eternity 2, GreedFall

 

[Polanski]

Maybe PF:KM. But only because during the first half it was one of my favorite games ever played.

The resolution of the story was just way too long, tedious and buggy. I had to come back several times with months between, because it felt wrong to not have finished it. In the end I turned the difficulty to story mode and rushed everything to actually get it done. I felt dirty and disappointed.

Pillars of Eternity. What an absolute bland, disappointing slog. It took me entire game to realize that the only reason I bothered was hearing funny Durance banter.

Durance was written by Avellone.

Also this and Deadfire which somehow was even worse.

G O T H I C 4

Don't regret finishing any RPGs. Even the weak ones taught me something (for example, about shitty game design). Besides, as you may know, I like exploring obscure games... and most of them are obscure for a reason.

 

[Nutria]

I would say Dragon Age Origins except... I quit in the Deep Roads. I'm a quitter. My father was a quitter. His father before him was a quitter. I was born to give up. And in this case I'm pretty sure that's a good thing but I know there was no payoff in the end worth getting through that.

The one I really regret is ME3 where I could have just quit before the last few missions where the "biological versus synthetic" plot thread appeared and I wouldn't feel so victimized now.

 

[Grauken]

Divine Divinity, that last dungeon really strained my patience

 

[Lacrymas]

The only one which comes to mind is Lionheart. I remember being disappointed even as a kid. It's actually the game which taught me to quit a game halfway through if the strong start doesn't lead to anything.

 

[Spectacle]

Oblivion. I loved Morrowind and I had so high hopes for Oblivion that I ignored what should have been obvious signs that the game was designed to be dumbed down popamole. I kept playing expecting the game to get good but then I reached the ending and realized that was all the game had to offer.

 

[Ivan]

Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2, Divinity 2 (the action game), ATOM (didn't click for me)

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

D:OS, NWN 1/2 OC's. FO4, 76, PoE, Tranny

 

[Sigourn]

I don't regret any.
The ones I would have regretted finished are ones that I ended up dropping because they were infuriating to play through, and I knew it wasn't going to get any better, only worse.

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

Pillars of Eternity. What an absolute bland, disappointing slog. It took me entire game to realize that the only reason I bothered was hearing funny Durance banter.

Durance was written by Avellone.

Also this and Deadfire which somehow was even worse.

I know. Avellone tricked me into finishing a shitty game. Makes me glad all these shitty projects removed his contributions because I'd be inclined to also play this garbage. I'm such a fucking moron I'd probably even buy Dying Light 2.

 

[snoek]

Witcher 3 (does that count as an RPG for the 'dex?) Last part of the game was meh. And the ending is influenced by some BS.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Witcher 3 (does that count as an RPG for the 'dex?)

The Witcher 3 was voted best RPG of 2015 by the Codex.

So, no.

 

[Aarwolf]

Deadfire, NWN2 OC, D:OS, Gothic (playable trailer shit from a year ago or so, not the original one).

 

[Lurker47]

None of them. They all add to my gamer cred.

 

[distant]

Most recent example was Outer Worlds. Started kinda bland, then just stayed that way for most of the game. I really wanted to like that game.

 

[Takamori]

RPGs in general didn't touch stuff that made me regret or feel bad for going through. Even CP2077 that is a fucking lost potential all over the place, even called a good game under a pile of shit I didn't regret playing.
Its not like we are playing Gacha, I think thats the only game genre that feels like a complete waste of time. Insult your time spent, force you to spend money in garbage and add a humongous timesink in order to force you to dish dollars out.
