For me it's Planescape Torment. At the time, I never even gave a second thought for it, instead concentrating on Baldur's Gate 2. Years later, the internet says it's apparently a masterpiece, a true underappreciated gem. Of course, I HAD to play it, to enjoy this masterpiece so that I could join the ranks of the RPG connoisseurs who wax lyrical about this shining example of what RPGs should aspire to.
Only, I must have started the game from scratch something like 5 times now. I make it out of the opening area into the City, reading every piece of writing there is, marveling at the vivid descriptions and creativeness of it all. But then, something else comes up and I don't touch the game. I wipe it from my harddrive only to find myself without a save game the next time around. It's got to the point where I don't even feel like playing this game because I'm BURNED OUT from the opening section. Ugh.
Surely you have one such game too?
