My wife and I really enjoyed Witcher 3. She could jump in, get an update on the story from me, listen to music, argue what decisions should we make and then leave if she felt so. Some quests can take days if you game like 1h daily or so, so it’s definitely a position to try if you like cRPGs.
Oh man, literally me. Stopped playing Fallout: BoS standing with the nuke in front of vault door. Didn’t learn the finale until years later when I watched it on YouTube. I just always assumed I just don’t want the story to end.
