My brain autocorrected the typo in the image but I caught it before reading the comments, then it auto"corrected" the top comment to match the fix for the post, but this time I didn't catch it til you pointed it out.
I didn't finish the first act of baldurs gate 3 due to life removing me for a couple months and I can't get myself to come back to that save. Besides not really liking the elf bard I made. Is it worth coming and trying another class? I wanted barbarian but I want that fire demon chick on my team because she's awesome but she's also a barbarian and I heard class stacking your party is a bad idea...
Honestly this happens to me in every grand RPG. If I go more than a month without playing, I'm starting over. Too difficult to pick up where I left off what with understanding my character, my skills, the quests I was doing, etc.
I've done it multiple times with Elder Scrolls games, with Mount & Blade, and most recently with Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Hell yeah! Each class plays pretty differently, and you can respec any of your companions to different classes by taking to Withers 😁 I'd definitely give it another try, it's a great time sink
With menu games like Paradox make, you gotta learn by playing the game. And by playing the game, I of course mean pausing the game every minute or two to spend way more minutes reading the tooltips, the tooltips within those tooltips, and then finding your way to a new menu you didn’t know existed referenced by those tooltips so you can read more tooltips!
It’s a beautiful cycle, and Victoria 3 has sucked me in as much as Stellaris did 7 years ago. If you have any questions or thoughts, I’d love to hear them!

See, I like the skill, physical endurance or patience to properly speedrun a game.
But I will play a game on autopilot over and over again. Call it... I don't know, speedjogging a game? Speedstrutting? Power speedwalking?
In any case, there are many situations where I will gladly play through Streets of Rage in half an hour instead of barely making it through the tutorial of whatever the current epic is. I feel at peace with that.
I tend to fall back on games that have a setting and possibly a story, but have the main gameplay available as repetitive things to do.
Fighting games
Racing games that don't have a defined ending
Games like Battletech 2019 which has a story mode and also a never ending campaign mode.
Open world games like Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto, but mostly side quests and doing random non-story things.
My main reluctance for playing new games is learning new mechanics and story with all the interruptions of adulthood. I keep buying them and just planning on playing them later.
That's Vampire Survivors for me, I've already made utterly broken characters with golden eggs, but I still keep coming back because of the fun gameplay loop.
