    Funny, for me it’s the other way around. I probably played a couple hundred hours of Oblivion back in the day: modding, exploring and restarting. Never once finished the main quest. I’m thinking Skyblivion might be my chance to finally do it.

      That’s me with every Bethesda game I played. I don’t even treat them as games to beat, just worlds to run around in.

        just worlds to run around in

        Which, ironically, was why I only played the main quest in Starfield vanilla. Running around empty, boring planets, with copy-pasted dungeons (there’s only, what, 10 varieties?), felt like nothing but a colossal waste of time.

        So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).

          Starfield never really grabbed my attention so I thankfully dodged a bullet with that one.

          So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).

          No need to apologise, people should have the option to play games however they want.

          I got through about half the main story before the load-door-load-fastravel-load-door-load made me just give up. I learned later you can directly fast travel from the map but for some reason when I tried it initially it didn’t work and thought you had to go to your ship everytime.
