Gamers, ever stop playing a game for so long, that by the time you come back you're so lost you have to start over, if so, what game was it?

1. The Sims. Its mostly just me binging the game for about a couple weeks, leaving it, then going back and realizing how amazing it is, but having to start anew cause idk why I decided to try to impregnate the whole town

2. Terraria. I quit playing around version 1.1.1, and came back a few months ago to ~~1.3.0.2~~ **edit: it was 1.3.5.3** -- the game had basically tripled in size since then. Then I got the Moon Lord on farm and got bored.

3. Sometimes I've started a game of Civ and when I get back I've forgotten what I was doing with my empire. The other example I have is Factorio. If you leave that game then come back, or forget what you were doing for any other reason, you cannot regain what you lost.

4. I've tried to play Red Dead Redemption like 5 times, but for some reason every time I start playing, a roommate or brother will take over story mode mid game while I'm at work and I'll lose my place and just quit.

5. Dragon Age Inquisition. Bought it in 2016 and got half way through, but I didn't have time to play anymore. Tried to start again a couple days ago and I had no clue what was going on.

7. Wind waker, I already had a hard time figuring out where it was I had to sail to next and a couple months long break didn't help that one bit

8. Fable was pretty fun for me, up until I had to take a week break. Once I came back, I had no idea how to play the game. EDIT: I never get this many upvotes, ever. Thanks guys. To my fellow Fable-ers out there, Fable is one of the best games I ever played. I almost, ALMOST, like it better than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
