No, ADD and drinking cause problems with finishing tasks. I have yet to finish all but two of my PC games because of this. I tend to wander about and kill stuff until I get bored with a game instead.

I have gotten a nasty habit over the past few years about not finishing some games. I usually finish easy games like KotOR and NWN, but the more deeper(and in my opinion) better games like PS:T and Fallout 2 I have yet to finish. I have also not finished Rome: Total War, Battles for Middle Earth, Sid Meyer's Pirates, GTA San Andreas, Divine Divinity, IWD, IWD II, FF7, FFX-2 and probably a whole lot more as well.

I don't finish all games, but it's it think it's impossible to "finish" some games, like with Morowind. I played the whole mainquest, but there are dozens of other quests left.

i believe the question here is that if you complete what is considered the "main quest" in most cases the game, but IE morrowind the destroying dagoth ur part etc..

and to answer the question: yes, but NWN:HotU i haven't because of a bug and no-one in the NWN forum knew any solution so i just let it be, but otherwise i do.. just finished? halo2 and Spoilerish if you haven't finished halo2, doesn't spoil the end but will reveal something about the end highlight to read..

why is it that they couldn't just put the whole thing in one game?? even the stupidest person who's completed the game will know there's either a sequel or an independent add-on to the game.. argh! i hate it when game's are left unfinished for smth like that grr

99% of the games. I havent finished Daikatana, for example, but due to the bugs.

Always try too...but i never get that far. Get bored and do something in real life.

Not all, but most. At the moment i'm suffering from "damn-fable-was-too-short" syndrome, having finished that in 1 sitting

Me, I'm somewhat in the same boat as some. There are just some games that I have too much difficulties with.

IWD2 is unable to be completed because of a bug w/ Windows XP similar to that of BG2. And with both NearInfinity unable to be accessed and Interplay having gone belly-up, I really can't get anywhere.

Other times I really have to put a game down for a while in order to de-stress and come up with effective strategies. This can range from a couple of days to about a year.

Other times I just have more fascinating games get in the way, such as Final Fantasy 5 at this time.

Mostly I don't. Either I get bored and switch to another game or start all over again. I've never finished Baldur's Gate for instance, although I really love this game. Usually when I arrive at Baldur's Gate I tend to switch to another game. And when I want to play BG again I usually have to start a new game because I can't get into my character anymore

. Same with Morrowind btw.....and most other games.

The games I finished are those:
Fallout
Baldur's Gate 2
Deus Ex
Diablo 2
Hitman
...I guess that's it. At least the most recent ones.

Funny thing is:
There are games I play at least once a week for over a year now and I still haven't finished them. Like Civilization 3. When I manage to form the most powerfull nation I get bored and start a new game, the difficulty bar still at "regent".
