What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? (lemmy.world)

This question popped into my head when I was playing Void Stranger. I just got done with the game and will probably never play it again despite not finishing it. The game is genuinely amazing but it just gets so demanding as you progress through it. I ended up watching the second half of the game on YouTube.

What is your favorite game that you feel is really cool and special but you never felt the pull of actually finishing it, and why?

Honestly, most big RPG's. I really love character creation, and I love watching a character progress in power. For most games, however, I find that if you put even a little bit of thought into character building, you either become far too powerful too quickly and lose any sense of challenge the game can offer or the game has such aggressive enemy level scaling that you end up feeling punished for trying to progress. To that end, as much as I love their early games, I've never completed a Bioware game, most Bethesda RPGs, all cRPGs including Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and The Outer Worlds. Whenever I get the itch to replay them, I always make a fresh new character.
