    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:

    System Shock 2
    Freedom Force
    Civilization I (lots of times)
    Master of Orion I (ditto)
    Warcraft
    Warcraft II
    Codename Panzers: Phase One
    Dawn of War
    Dawn of War: Dark Crusade (just finished an Imperial Guard campaign)
    Rune
    Severance: Blade of Darkness - Damn, I loved these games (Ok, I prefer not to classify Rune or Severance as 1st/3rd person shooters because well... they're really more like deliciously violent 3rd person h&L (hack & slash).
    I never managed to Finish Ultima VII, I'm sure it was due to corruption. (The game was on floppies)

    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)?
