    I think Skyrim is the perfect answer to this question. It’s a good game. Everyone has played a billion files because while it’s good it’s entirely unfocused and mediocre so people don’t feel motivated to take their character to the end of the game

      You could say that almost for the entirety of Elder Scrolls series as a whole.

      Daggerfall was more of their ambitious projects though. I think the entire premise is “make a character, run with character until you’re bored and only engage in some of the story”. I mean, in Daggerfall, all you have to do is just get a letter to start the main quest, but you can ignore the main quest after that entirely.

        I don’t know which bug I ran into, but every friendly NPC in every town turned hostile and I could not fix it. I had no backup save file or anything. I just quit playing

      checks I have more than 500 hours in the game and the furthest I ever got in the main quest is the Thalmor embassy mission.
