Something to hold my attention?

A lot of games these days keep me hooked for a couple of hours and then I'm like "meh" and they just stay on my HDD, halfway (or less) completed for months. I don't know what causes this but it gets really annoying. What would you recommend me to play? It can be however old, I just don't want too many dialogues in it. Something with really absorbing story, interesting main character, gameplay.. I honestly don't know what can keep me entertained for long enough -.-

Also, the games shouldn't be too long. The only games except MMOs where my play-time was more than ~10 hrs were The Elder Scrolls series.

Try Fallout 3 or New Vegas if you like the TES games. Also try Deus Ex: Human Revoultion.

If you only played 3 hours then you obviously didn't try to like it lol. Just give it another shot. It gets really good once you get into it.

Playing a game for a couple hours and saying "Meh I don't like it" is like watching a movie for 5 minutes and deciding it's not for you. Many games start out slow and need time to pick up. Give them some more time before dismissing them outright.

Something to hold your attention? Why not try Origami? I hear it can be quite fulfilling.

I would recommend Fallout 3 (My favourite Fallout game) and Fallout New Vegas. Also if you havn't played Skyrim yet, than definetely give that a go. I have played 100+ hours of Skyrim and I'm still enjoying it!
