I have extreme issues focusing on one task and this has increasingly been impacting my life. Even my gaming habits are impacted, shown by the fact that I'm playing multiple games at the moment, stopping one the instant I'm stuck for even a moment and switching to another.
The purpose of this thread is thus; I'd like a single player game, playable on a midrange PC (so no ps3), of middling length (10-30 hours). I want to play nothing but it in my game time until I finish it. Optionally I'd like it to have depth in character progression as I've had a hankering for that lately. Any suggestions?

Stick with it until you get to the city then switch to Sorceror at the inn. Mage is a really boring class for a real player and Sorceror is immensely more fun.

OP here (I was phoneposting last night)
I'm really starting to remember why I dropped Dragon's Dogma; I can't think of anything I like save for the monster aesthetics and that I want to fuck Mercedes.
I don't like any part of the combat, progression is literally nothing but having/not having skills and equipment (am I correct here? Is there any depth added later?) and I feel like I'm constantly backtracking. I can not imagine why so many people love this. I'll keep playing a few more hours, but if it's still as shit as it is now I'll drop it and pick another game.

Not sure about your thoughts on turn based but Knights of the old republic I & II are pretty damn good and work on a toaster.
Stories arent exactly closely related so you dont even have to play them both.
I dont like turn based myself, xcom and silent storm series in addition to kotor games are the only ones I've liked but kotor was my first and its the main reason I decided to try out other turn based because I was suprised I liked it.
If you like the first two I meantioned then silent storm games might be to your liking too but if you cant stand janky / slightly buggy games then I'd say you wont like them. They're like the stalker of turn based.

If I drop Dragon's Dogma I'll try this next I think.
I actually had a game of the tabletop once which was ruined by a comically retarded player character I cringe at the memory of; a werewolf abomination (that is, a werewolf vampire) colored like a skunk named zika or some shit.

Nothing in particular, I was just explaining that the character progression is shallow. I'd prefer a game with good character progression, but it isn't required.

I ask because you said you felt you were constantly backtracking, and it goes hand-in-hand with open-world games like this.
1a3070 No.15149927
>>15149895
No, in most open world games I don't constantly go from the starting town down the road and back again for the first half hour. Morrowind, for example, doesn't have you travel from Seyda Neen to Balmora 5 times.

Well I certainly don't like Dragon's Dogma, but the feeling of actually making progress for once in my life feels nice. I just killed two Wights in a boss fight and I think I'm close to finishing the main quest.

OK, I beat the dragon. God, that was fucking terrible. I can't say anything good about the game except that the spells are interesting. Literally everything else is at best mediocre, at worst just terrible. I really regret playing it, but I'm glad I stuck it out until the end.

Who the fuck was the midget that I apparently could save or sacrifice to the dragon? After the credits I could talk to him and he gave inn services. I don't recall seeing him before, honestly.

Hahahahaha. That was your love interest. The person with the highest affinity once you encounter the dragon. It's a fun roleplaying mechanic that gets fucked up if people aren't aware of it.

I have this exact same fucking problem too OP. I did some research and I seem to exhibit a lot of the symptoms of ADHD. It's been like this all my life, but I'm only now putting the pieces together, and it's like a fucking epiphany. I engage in a lot of repetitious, fidgety behavior, fail to notice details, forget what I was planning to do, fail to finish projects (and games) that I start, et cetera. Worst of all is my procrastination. I'm at a turning point in my life where, if my procrastination continues like this for any longer, I'm gonna be completely fucked and end up living in poverty, probably ending up dying of alcohol poisoning. I know stimulants like Adderall are a (((conspiracy))) or whatever, but it'll be okay as long as I don't build a tolerance to the drug, right? I just think this might be a necessary evil. I'm going to see a doctor in a few days and I'm very highly considering bringing this up, even though I dread the idea of being officially diagnosed with a mental disorder. Sorry for the blogpost, I just have nobody to talk to about this.

drugs don't work unless you're already putting effort in. The drugs will only last around a month before they become just another dependancy that will hamper your life, best to avoid in 90% of cases.
You've at least indentified the problem with yourself, which is good progress in of itself. Now you need to think on how to work on it, whats something in your life that you're able to give a modicum to focus to? If you have something like that, then maybe you can concentrate on that.
And yeah, people treat you differently when they know you have mental illness, usually for the worse.

People are suggesting Dragon's Dogma, I don't know about that, it's an extensive game that drags on sometimes.
I think powering through DD is a bit extreme. I wouldn't manage it. I'd probably say Dying Light, Dark Souls, Mafia 2 or Resident Evil 4, these are just off the top of my head.
My real advice is, find something else to do for a while, two weeks or so then go back to vidya. Maybe movies, series or anime, anything goes, really.

ADD is a symptom of retarded prefrontal development caused by disallowing combative play in adolescents, which is the natural catalyst for provoking growth in that area. You think it's an accident that the ADD craze hit right off the heels of stranger danger and recess being reduced to walking around outside practically on a leash to mitigate liability in an increasingly litigious society? You can induce the same malformation in rats, and treat then treat them with Ritalin. Don't let the pharma Jew scare you away from actual medicine just because they misuse it like fuck.
