I finished #1!
Don't laugh, I usually only finish one in every 20 or 30 games I play. Now I need something short and simple before I move on to #2 and get back to pestering the hell out of you folks again. Never a rest. :P

Thanks everyone for pulling me through and I'm not being melodramatic. I beat cancer 10 years ago and it wasn't nearly as involved or complicated as beating Gothic. :D

Here some games that don't take weeks to finish:

I'm thinking Trine right now since I have it, but I've wanted Time Commando for a while as I was the only one who never played it when it came out so I'll wishlist it for now. Thanks.

Trine is an excellent choice for something reasonably short but good. A very good choice for cleansing one's gaming palate between games with a larger time investment.
