Climax of a movie... time to make some food without pausing it, for whatever reason. Last boss of a game... save and never finish it, because eventually I forget how to even play it

Games I obsessively modded, played through as a completionist, yet never finished the finale/main quest to:

Skyrim
Dishonored 1
Dishonored 2?
Cyberpunk 2077
Baldurs Gate 3, until family coop made me finish it.
…A lot of games, actually… And TV.

I did that with FF7. I knew I could go challenge sephiroth for the last fight but I also knew that there were still a ton of secrets like summons and materia, plus the harder mode if I maxed levels. But I didn't get around to much of it and never beat the game.

And FF2 (snes) I made it to the final boss once, died to him, saw how far back the last save was, decided I didn't want to go through all that just to get back to the boss and instead returned the game to the friend I had borrowed it from, deciding I was close enough.

Mario Bros 3, I could only ever beat the game if I used a cloud to skip that last fortress before the final level select screen. It was a maze level iirc and I just didn't have the patience to figure out the correct path.

I avoided the final crater because I didn't want the experience to end. I think about a year later I just decided to do it and it felt anti climactic. Still, great game.
