    I think DE commits to its premise in a way few games do, but there's dozens of other games I'd rather play at any given moment. It's a very cool and very smart game, but I don't find myself having fun playing it. But comparing it to the games I find more fun seems like comparing a novel to an amusement park, so I don't really know.

      I feel this way as well. I always like the idea of playing it more than I like the actual experience. I really appreciate that it's a complex well written and executed story, but I would rather watch a stream of someone playing it than actually play through it myself.

      This happens with a lot of really good crpg's too for me and it really bums me out. I'm probably just weird though.

          Kind of. When I like a new game I have a tendency to obsessively play it until I burn myself out, take a break, and forget it exists and never finish. Makes the prospect of playing long rpg's both exhausting and tough.
