Game is amazing, but I just can't finish it.

Anyone else???

I bought it right at launch and I've enjoyed my time playing, but its just to much game for me. I'm not sure I'm ever going to finish it either, which just feels kind of bad.

You might get around to it - I had this problem with Witcher 3 which I didn't end up finishing until 5 years after it came out.

Honestly a lot of CRPGs are long like this for me

It can be overwhelming, at times. My first play through, I played on Explorer. That made the combats faster and more fun.

Also did not let myself get distracted by trying to do to many quests at a time. Would pick one in the region I was in and go as far as I could. When it was done in that region, I would pick another.

Explored everywhere. Also looked at some build guides to help with party composition and configuration.

All that helped immensely in keeping me focused on the game. Am almost done with my second play through now. Am still completing new quests that I missed or skipped first time through. :)

Good Luck!

It’s worth finishing in my opinion. Also, the length of the game and level of detail is a positive for many of us who love the game.

Im at 270 hours, and I dont think Ill ever finish it..
Just too many flaws for me..
I feel bad like you do tho, wish I could enjoy it more..
But man, I just wanna kill every single npc they offer.
If you wanna beat the game, there's a few clips online in how to do it in less than an hour. Recommend that.

I made it all the way to act 3 and ended up having to take a break from the game for while because it was honestly too much to do.

act 1 feels great and the pacing is nice, act 2 seems a little small but cramped to me at least and then act 3 comes along and its gigantic + cramped feeling. I was already at 70 hours into my save at the start of act 3 so i just need a break for a bit, plus games always feel better if you don't burn yourself out trying to finish them.

I suffer from Restart-fever.

I get to the start of ACT3, then want to restart and try another Race and Class combo.
I can run through Act 1 and 2 on muscle memory.

[RhiTheWitch]

I feel that!

Someone in another post said something like "I didn't buy the game to complete it, I bought it to enjoy playing it, so why worry about rushing or getting to the end" and it really helped me not "feel bad" about feeling like I have a hard time finishing some playthroughs.

There's so many games I've played that I start and enjoy playing for a good amount of hours but I just don't want to do certain quests or even finish and "be done" sometimes. But I still love the experience!

Im not a completion-fanatic by any means but something about this game and community really expects everyone to complete the whole game in like 20 hrs or something crazy or you're not "playing it right". Ignore that bs lol

I'm guilty of this as well lmao, i blame it on my 20+ years of playing fallout+elder scrolls+DnD games.

i'd play the first 15 hours and get bored then remake a character

I'm having this problem rn despite having 200 hours.

It's okay to take breaks and come back later. This game is MASSIVE

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

That's because it's not actually amazing.

[Pyromaiden]

I must be the only person in the universe who likes long games judging by these comments.

Here, I fixed it for you:

"The 1st ACT is good, then I completely lost interest."

little steps, little steps is my only advice.

I like the start of games more than the end. It's difficult to enjoy a high level character with the best gear.

Honestly the start is usually better for so many reasons

Balance is a lot more possible early than late because the situation is more fixed

Mechanics are more fresh and new to the player

Plot is usually opening up with mystery, endings are harder

Very few games don't fall off a bit in the end
