I try to 'finish' most games I buy, in the sense of getting to the ending, but I don't think I've ever gone for 100%
I also often fail in actually reaching the ending...

I had to quote Spino's post because he and I appear to be similar in tastes! I've emboldened those that I've finished:
I never managed to Finish Ultima VII, I'm sure it was due to corruption. (The game was on floppies)Originally Posted by Spino
Thief 1 & 2 also never finished. I actually had Thief 2 and never played it! Thief 1 I went as far as the level where everything is upside down, the weird level, and gave up. The zombe levels got annoying.
System Shock 2 is another one I gave up on, brilliant atmosphere superbly implimented but can be frustrating.
Other Games I've finished:
STW (All Factions/Sengoku Jidai Era/Hard)
MTW (Turks and Spanish/Early Era/Hard, also many 60% victories)
Baldurs Gate 2
Planescape Torment
Civ2
TIE Fighter
Doom
Doom2
Final Doom
Quake
Half Life
Half Life - Opposing Force
Half Life - Blue Shift
Hexen
Heretic
Probably some more but I can't think of them now. All in all I'm not good at finishing games. I suppose I don't play games to finish them, I play them for the playing experience. I usually get bored.
I was also a big fan of Severance: Blade of Darkness, probably one of the most underrated games of all time.

All the linear RPG's and FPS's I more often than not finished. Real-Time Strategy or linear Turn-based ones (those Disciples and Heroes of the world) I also mostly finished. I never could finish a TW, a Civilization, a Paradox game, or The Sims () without a cheat -- The Sims' ending being the gruesome death of my character(s) because its God and Creator feels a sadistic streak.
I don't know how you'd consider Morrowind and Oblivion "finished," however. Finishing every little quest in the corner, or just the faction/main quests? Or finishing everyone in the game (save for the guards and, for Oblivion, the bandits)?
