An example of boring is Dragon Age. Don't get me wrong I like it. I've completed it once and I am one of those people who will keep playing a game to death if I like it. I start other games, things go well until after the Landsmeet and I get bored. Boring dialogs, boring scenery and even my character is boring because they're a little too powerful.
An example of crash happy is FNV. I love the game because I love the setting, the dialogs, building your character, etc. But the crashes kill it especially when I first got it. After the last patch things were good, no more crashes. Now the recent patch, we're back to crashes again.
People are too 3D happy these days. I was content with the simpleness of the rich story driven, character developed games of the past. I would have loved to have seen another Infinity Engine game.
