About this image

Quite often, when I game, I have the unfortunate habit of playing one too much, thus burning out a bit. This is especially true with open world games. All too frequently.. I'll then leave that game alone for a long time, and then I end up restarting, because I can't recall anything, and/or I'm having trouble immersing myself in that character. Thus...the cycle begins all over again. I'm trying to break that pattern.. so I have devised a grab jar, where I've scribbled the names of the various titles I play onto small scraps of paper, and then I blindly reach in... and I play my random selection whenever I game that day. 
Today's "choice" was Fallout 3... which is ironic, because I didn't actually burnout on that one, instead I semi - "rage quit" because I found the resolution (or lack thereof) to the Blood Ties quest entirely unsatisfying. :P

Anyway... Here are a couple of shots :D

    I don't think I could ever burn out on FO3. Not with my load order and skills at setting it all up. However, I still remember my first vanilla run. Ah, the virgin memories.

    *Gets goose bumps

      I can get burnt out, even with my very favourite games... so I envy you that trait.
      As to setup.. I'm very happy with my load order and such, as well... but I do find FO3 a little hard to get into on occasion, simply because I often find the dialogue (or lack thereof) infuriating. Though, I did just install a dialogue overhaul, so maybe that will help.

    I just started replaying DAO because I needed a break. The last time I ventured into it was, oh, maybe 2012. So I understand what you're talking about. Your F3 looks awesome with the foliage, great shot.

      Damn... it's ages since I have played DAO... great game. I wonder if it will pop up on a blind grab moment any time soon.
      Thanks ! It's been a slow journey getting FO3 to look the way I want it to; I feel it doesn't polish up as easily as FNV, or Morrowind, so it's been a challenge (though.... that could also be personal bias speaking ).

    That is very much how I play my games to,.. It only doesn't bother me so much. The good side of such a play style is that you always go into the game with a fresh eye,.. yet know your way around,.. wich makes playing the game more immersive i.m.o . To me, however, a character that I can relate to is less important then for the most I guess,..

      I can see where you are coming from
      The thing is, though, what this means, for me, is that I rarely end up "finishing" games. I mean, despite all of the hours I've put into them, I have yet to see the main story endings of FO3, FNV and FO4.
      Though, I did decide, some time ago, to not restart any of these games (and except FO4, which I had to reinstall), I've essentially managed to stick to that. Part of why I devised this new system, however, is to further help me in sticking to that.

      I've played skyrim, fallout 3 , the witcher, dark souls 2 and a few other games first in pure vanilla,.. also meaning that I finished all of them. In skyrim I finished the game multiple times. Nowadays I am still playing these games but never finished them in the past few years , on the other hand, I took a whole lotta pics, and tried a lot of different game setups

      *grins* Well yes.... screen shots are ALWAYS fun, no matter the game, or how burnt out I might feel otherwise.
      Usually, I avoid excessively modding a game until I've finished the main story... but I've somewhat broken that rule with the Fallouts. At least, though, I haven't installed any mods that really impact the main story, or any of the big quest chains.

    I agree, I'm the same way. I seldom finish my favorites anymore. Coming back to them after a long break always helps.
    That's a pretty good quality image for Fallout 3.

      Indeed, I'm certain this is a fairly common phenomenon... I'm just trying to go for a middle-of-the-road approach, where I feel refreshed enough to come back, without having been away so long that I feel compelled to restart.
      Thank you very much I've decided I really quite like URWLENB, it makes a world of difference to the game graphics. The retextures, and foliage mods help as well, of course, but I've found that weather and lighting are absolutely key, and often more important than anything else.
