It might be laziness, it might be my shriveled millennial attention span, but something is stopping me from completing these awesome games. If I can repeat that, I might just make it to the end credits. I'm guessing after ten minutes of pootling around a city I'll already be engrossed. I will make myself play for ten minutes, if I'm bored I can stop, but I have to give it a chance.

I might not feel like going back into Pillars of Eternity 2, due to the laziness I've described. When that investment fades during a period of absence, it can be hard to spark it back up again. When you care about the warring fantasy factions and the big evil threat, the twists and turns of the story land better-everything seems more important and worthwhile. The more time you put in, the more secrets and cool swords you find. In cRPGs especially, big towns are something you have to crack slowly over many hours as you chat to NPCs, tune into the town's local dramas, and pull at those threads to unlock sidequests. The other big danger zone is the introduction of a massive city.

Any good free to play games anymore
