i've played mass effect, was ok for really short time. i think about fallout coming: november is at the doorHa ha ha ha, no. In Skyrim, as in any game, when you're not having fun is the sign to stop playing. I know a couple of people who enjoyed many hours of playing Skyrim without even touching the main story. Most of the game has very little, if anything, to do with the main story. And that's even before considering all of the mods available...When the main story of Skyrim is done, that's a sign to stop playing. It's an RPG, once the role playing is over, game is over.
I never finished it myself. I spent 150 hours in it and just stopped. Good game for a while and your point is taken. No fun, stop playing. I was thinking more games like Matt Effect series. There is an end to that game, sort of. Eventually there's nothing to do.
