Almost anything is more enjoyable than watching TV.

I  admittedly don't finish many games.  With NWN I said WTF!  That's it?  I 
could understand it with Wizardry 8, low budget and all, but I expected a 
bigger finish from NWN.  Just walk off.  Kind of anti-climatic.

I've only ever completed one game more that once, not to sat that I haven't 
started them many times.  Planescape:Torment is the one and only on the 
list.  While I did complete Fallout, I never did manage to complete Fallout 
2, which is a fantastic game.
