    i have restartitis. its not boredom its just an innate desire to restart i enjoy the beginnings of games far more than the ends. i adore morrowind.... never beat it. have sunk hundreds of hours into total war never conquered the whole map or even won. mount and blade hundreds of hours in the last year. i have only beaten it like once before......

    The main quest is probably the worst thing about Morrowind though, I remember the first time I played it I was something like 150 hours in before I remembered about that package I'd been given weeks before.

    I finish and sometimes read a good book again.

    Some games I will finish, some I will replay to see alternate areas.

    Strategy games CIV / TW I will often stop once I have an overwhelming advantage and the games become logistical management simulations.

    Shooters I will play in micro MP sessions so TF2 suits my desires.

    For similar reasons Dawn of War has bite size missions that suit my limited leisure time.

    Most games are like restaurants, if they provide a good meal I'll be back. If not I'll go somewhere else for entertainment.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    This is the case for me as well, particularly strategy games. I'm somewhat more likely to finish RPG's, since one is generally following some sort of storyline.
