Unlike NWN
and to a certain extend oblivion; fallout can leave you feeling lost and empty after a few day of non-immersion... I don't know if it's the complexity if the plots, or the poor 'mission' interface.
NWN had me. hook. line. sinker. & copy of Angling Times. Like a really REALLY good DM from when I was 12 or 13. I knew I was invisible, I knew I was part of a team with abilities and I knew that whatever outcome was statistically correct in the universe I had allowed myself tobecome involved in.
Obvlivion, was all fun and WOW. WOW. WOW!!!. but in the last hours was just me running past people. Tag and run tag and run. I could easily beat the game and the objective.
I like dark and disbanded..ment (?) I really wanted to like STALKER but as with aspects fallout it just ... required too much commitment - that is to say the experience required to much run in to get the best from it - you have to play for 2 hours to enjoy the next 6. I just can't do that anymore :(
I did play alot of L4D and I am hoping for some BF3 - but these things rely on real people.
for the record I also have a pilots licence, fly regularly, have a bike and cycle from time to time and participate in a successful company - I do honestly believe gaming has a very important role in a healthy life. ner

Weirdly, I played fallout3 for weeks constantly & then one day just stopped.
Wasn't anything in the game; I just stopped & have no desire to play again. Oblivion never 'hooked' me at all.
(I don't think we need to justify game-playing on here, however: I also enjoy climbing, caving & cycle ridiculously large no. of miles for fun too....)
