Please no, not bigger! Its been months and I've only reached Wyrms Crossing this week! I have so many other games to play and not enough time to play them all

I really wanna play the game, but i know it's too big and i will drop it and never pick it up again. It's also too big to play with friends who don't play too often

Same. It looks super interesting, but I haven't finished anything similar in the past, so I don't think I'd finish BG3. Some games still waiting for me:

  • RDR2 - loved RDR, but RDR2 is just way too long
  • The Witcher 3 - haven't even started; I tried the prior games, which are shorter, but still haven't finished any of them (loved the short stories though)
  • The Elder Scrolls - never finished Morrowind or Skyrim, despite having lots of hours in each

So yeah, I just don't finish long RPGs. I like shorter ones, but I just lose interest around 30-40 hours in.

I just gave up on BG3. Updated it, lost my save (corruption likely due to mods). But it took so long to get to Act 3 that I won't be playing again for months.

Just started RDR2 and it's already feeling cinematic and long. Trying to take it in doses.

Witcher 3 is more fun with mods and cheats, so you can just explore and hack shit to death.

Skyrim is easy to waste weeks in. I'm like 3,000+ hours in total.
