jepsen1977: Always masturbate before you sit down to play a game - it leaves you relaxed and calm and you will enjoy your RPG after that.
AAHAHAHA +1

Enough said.

Throw Beyond Divinity in the virtual bin. It's awful.

I was majorly disapointed by Skyrim the first time through, until I was given this advice - Role Play. The game is no fun if you approach it as a "try to do all the missions" game. It's only fun if you decide what kind of character you want to be, and try to be that character in the world. Make decisions, conversational and strategical, based purely on how your character would behave, not on what would give you the best item, or what would seem nice at the time. To enjoy Skyrim (and I suspect the other Elder scrolls games) you need to be really into your character.

Nirth: I see you haven't tried SPAZ and Sacred 2. Do that now. The first is a decent action strategy game and the second is an action RPG so both should be easy to dive into (the former has a tutorial). Avoid Sacred 2 though if you've an older computer.
0=Never played
1=Played, can't get into
2=Play and enjoy
3=Finished
SPAZ was a 2 :D
Sacred 2 was still a zero. I'll try Sacred 2 in a bit, but I'm a little busy playing Terraria with my buddy :D

Elmofongo: WARNING: The Overhaul has a quest breaking bug in the Tribunal Expansion's main quest a quest item is missing from a chest and never appears thus making the The Tribunal Expansion main quest unbeatable unless you use Console commands.

The main quest of the vanilla game is alright with the Overhaul, I beat the game myself.

Don't know anything about Bloodmoon or Vvardenfell's other faction quest that are not Imperial Legion or Fighters Guild.
Thanks, I didn't know about this bug! Luckily, console commands aren't a big deal :)

Ops.

In that case continue with Terraria instead, it's an awesome game!

Similar feeling when I play Daggerfall, Oblivion and Skyrim. Playing TES for its missions can be kinda boring because many of the quests are really not that interesting. Getting into the role will really help the experience. I remember I spent quite a lot of time just to decorate my houses in Oblivion. I particularly remember I "hung" Lord Kelvyn's Bulwark and Lord Kain's Shield on the wall of Battlehorn Castle, and put candles and flowers in front of them.

Supereor: Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate it as always, but there's something I need to say here.
This is NOT my entire games list. It's just the ones I can't get into.
I think that the thing to do is think what you enjoy in games, and then buy games which you think you'll enjoy (after playing a demo or watching the gameplay), and stop buying games which you don't.

I, for example, am usually drawn to stories. These days I also don't have much time to play, so I prefer shorter and easier games. I ended up gravitating towards hidden object adventures.

It looks to me like you mainly own games which you don't enjoy, which isn't a good thing. Try more genres (adventure games, MMO, ...), try more demos of games, find games you like and the looks for more games of this type.

Supereor: So, I really try to get into all of these games(Morrowind especially), but I can't and I really want to. Does anybody have any tips on how to enjoy these games? I don't want to waste my money :D
I understand that you're trying to figure out a way to enjoy the games you already bought so the money you spent won't have been wasted.
Here's my take on the situation: If you're not having fun, cut your losses. Regardless of how much money you spent on a game, if you must force yourself to play it then you're wasting time which is even more precious than money.
Example: I spent $9.90 on Planescape Torment thinking I'm going to enjoy this for sure because it's a classic so no risk buying it at full price, right? Well, sadly not...I only played it for a very short time and then stopped, the game is very good but I'm not enjoying it.

So rather than going to a psychiatrist and asking how my brain can get fixed so that I can enjoy the greatness of Planescape Torment like any reasonable person, I bought NOX on sale for $1.50. This game I enjoyed a lot. If I add the $9.90 for Planescape and the $1.50 for NOX it adds up to $11.40. So now I'm telling myself, I got Planescape for free and spent $11.40 on NOX. That way no money went to waste, no guilt no regrets.
It seems illogical to save yourself from wasting money by spending MORE money but sometimes you can fight fire with fire and make things work that way. And who knows, maybe in a couple years you'll be in the mood for the games you currently can't get into, no expiration date on the shelf life of GOG purchases.
