I'm exactly the same. The moment the game starts to become too unrealistic or too fantastic, or deviate so far from history that we're in "utterly impossible" territory then it's time to start a-fresh.

What sucks is that this carries over into other games as well, such as Skyrim. I'm fine at the start when I have barely any money, hardly any potions, a rusty sword and my armour is a potato sack with holes cut out for the arms and head. I feel like I'm starting in a fresh world and I have to work my way up. But as soon as I hit level 10 and I have a full suit of epic armour and awesome weapons and more money than I can spend I feel like I'm too powerful and start again lol.
