Sometimes I win at Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition, sometimes I get utterly wrecked because I keep using lightning magic while my characters are standing in a puddle with the enemies

The build up is more rewarding then the crescendo

The exploring and discovery is intoxicating... The end of the rpg feels more on rails, no more choices, just do the thing

@RebekahWSD I've seen me losing interest in the RPG at the end or halfway more than a few times due to accumulated fatigue (game too long, too hard, too whatever), so might this should be your reason too?

Or could it be that the game is so good you don't want to say goodbye to the characters?

That's why I love the open world ones. I've been playing Elder Scrolls games since arena and daggerfall and not once have I bothered with the main quest. I just loved getting lost. I have enough "do the things" quests in real life, I want to go into an unexpected wilderness with an imagination and just..play.

Yes, emphasis on rookie.
Not that I do that every single time 👀
