I'm curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don't know the total hours because I've had so many accounts over the years I don't even remember half my passwords, but it's definitely in the thousands of hours now. I've played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.

I've also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don't know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I've never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.

What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?

Anything specific you didnt like about space age? I really enjoyed it

Mostly going back and forth between planets I found to be annoying. I liked the different worlds (some more than others), but the traveling and time suck made it annoying.

Also the space ship introduced a way to get stuck without save scumming, which the base game didn't have. Or at least not nearly as bad, if you went out into the wilderness you could get a lot of biters on you but it was less of a problem. If you started a journey between two planets and your craft wasn't good enough you basically had to just load a previous save. Afaik there was no "oh dear, this going bad. Let me turn back", which well to be fair is realistic.

Doesn't the space ship fall back down to your departure planet if you can't make it to your destination? That's been my experience at least. But maybe when you're almost there it doesn't.

It falls back to your origin if less than halfway there, and drifts to your destination if more than halfway there. The real answer is to not send it until you got a couple full tanks of gas and a pump circuit speed governor for fuel efficiency, plus guns, ammo and fuel generation onboard.

I don't remenber actually, maybe if you don't have enough fuel? But I found the biggest problem was that it got destroyed by meteors rather than fuel issues.
