In terms of Skyrim, yes. I'm at the Odaviing mission in my playthrough, but I don't want to do it because my followers get left behind and I worry I'll forget what we were all doing in terms of sidequests. I've invested so much time into sidequests and I KNOW there's more optional missionsI haven't even discovered yet, so I really don't feel ready to "finish" the game yet. I'm sure I could still go back and do said missions after I beat the official story missions, but then it feels less like a game and more like cleaning up after the party. It's not like I'm working towards a main goal anymore, and Skyrim's so huge a game I am loathe to start a new character from page 1.
New Vegas' situation is similar, if not identical. Unlike SKyrim I actually felt reasonably invested in the main plotline. I cared about what was going on and was interested in seeing what happened next. The problem for me was that I reached the point of no return mission, but decided to go finish my companion missions first. I got through Arcade's, Boone's, Lily's and Rex's and then started getting bored. I got stuck on Cass' mission because I don't have the Sneak/Lockpick skills to get the necessary info from the Silver Rush peacefully and I keep getting killed if I try using force, so I stopped playing and got distracted by new games. Eventually I'll get the urge to play it again and finish it-- That's how it usually goes for me. I still haven't started any of the DLC either.
