I have memories of FO3 being amazing, but when I try to start a second playthrough, it just feels like a slog and it doesn't pull me back into the groove.

FO:NV may be the exception, I remembering doing a solid handfull of playthroughs. Have not done so in ages though.

FO4, I got as far as The Institute and ran out of steam, and for the life of me I cant make it make it past the museum in an attempt at a fresh playthrough.

FO 76. I can't even make it down the hill before I get bored.

Is it me, or is the universe wonderful near perfection (yes, I am here because I am loving the show), but the games just have this extreme hurdle, this extreme cost of effort to get INTO the game, in a different way for each installment, that prevent you from getting hooked into a full playthrough?

Maybe its just me. Was just wondering since the franchise is getting such a boost currently.

This sounds like average Bethesda experience. I always get hyped by their pre-releases, but I find the actual games to be tedious and boring slogs.

I know it's down to personal taste, but I think I enjoy a bit more rail-roading and bit less sandbox. Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are "just right" for me, the story is tight. Bethesda games a bit loosey-goosey (ha!) with their storytelling.

Cyberpunk had a sweet spot for me.

I am 0 for 2 on getting into Witcher games.

I'm 0 for 6. Tried each one vanilla and modded. Couldn't do it but I really wanted to lol.
