So Close to Finished

hkellickI don't really have a random video game icon anymore. Maybe I should fix that...
I started playing Nightfall well over a year ago. I was bored and I was looking for something to play and enjoy and I found the idea of being able to create your own party to be interesting, so I picked it up, played for a bit, went as far as I could on my own and then quit in frustration.
I'm not really used to play online RPGs and I didn't know anyone else playing and the thought of asking a stranger to help me never even occurred so I went as far as I could and then stopped.
A few months after, I started again. I'd learned a few things from playing Diablo about not spreading your powers too thin and decided a new character would give me a chance to fix some mistakes. And it did. And more importantly, I met a girl on CC who was also playing Nightfall and got me through the one mission I STILL Couldn't do by myself.
From that point forward, I not only found a new small group to play with (Not Nightfall, though, Prophecies. They don't have Nightfall.) but I started asking for help (including finally ditching my guild who were never active or around to help me.)
Now here I am.. two missions away from complete. I could, theoretically, be entirely done with the game by tonight. Or possibly tomorrow or Friday. But.. I am SO CLOSE.
What then? Well, I could play another campaign, play around with Hard Mode.. there's still plenty left to do. Guess we'll see what I decide. :)
I'm just excited. I don't finish many games. As K points out, I don't play many games that finish, but many of those I do play I never finish. This game, I will almost certainly finish.
