Every two or three months I will play something and get caught in a rut of either playing a solo stealth character who is paranoid of any interaction, or an RP-intensive character that just can't get past the cabal/religion hurdles and I lose interest after 100 hours.

It's probably for the best, I can't afford the time commitment of a serious character anymore these days anyway. Stupid nostalgia and need to see skill-improvements keeps messing with my day job thoughts, though.
