I’ve actually gone hard the opposite direction… I used to just skip all the story because I didn’t care. Idk what that took out of my game experience, but considering I started gaming in the early 90s, probably not much..
Idk what changed either, but I’m finding it much easier to play story heavy games (as long as I would like them entirely without the story), and even really huge story heavy games.. not always to completion, but usually as close as I can get.
But I do heavily intersperse them with fluffier games, because too much long story is still very draining. I managed to binge forbidden west to the point that when I downloaded the dlc, I abandoned the game (I know I’ll go back to it eventually, I love the mechanics, but I talk to everyone and go through every dialogue option, and that’s just a lot). But I’ve also played a number of others that I didn’t collapse in upon myself by the end, so I think it’s the burnout that keeps me from finishing them (exact same reason I used to skip all the story - it’s tiring when you just want to play).
