Got a different problem from beornica, though--my wife doesn't play, and doesn't like it when I play! I have to steal my moments when I can. It's hard to get a feel for the game in half-hour increments, though!
I'm playing really cautiously, making sure I'm strong enough before I head out on a guild quest or what have you--that's probably why I'm only at lvl 15! Since I haven't beat the main quest yet I can't speak to the anticlimax at the ending, but after several months of work, I WOULD want a big fanfare at the end! Would it be possible to create a mod that would do some flashy stuff at the end? Or maybe some enterprising soul could make a big long splashy cutscene that would satisfy our need to be stroked....
