The event that caused this was at the end of my third or fourth mission in Moscow. Near what seemed like the end of the operation I was tasked with protecting a character that is being attack by numerous soldiers in a courtyard. As soon as I get outside and spot him, a grenade lands next to him and he explodes causing a giant MISSION FAILED to appear on my screen. Luckily the checkpoint was placed well enough that I was able to try again numerous times and do I mean numerous! I ran through this section at least a dozen times. Killing enemies in as many different orders as I could but no matter what, that grenade kept landing next to him. I tried running to him in an effort to get him to relocate or even to grab the grenade and throw it back but I was unsuccessful. At this point the combination of shitty mouse controls, shitty frame rate, and overall shitty design coalesced into an unstoppable force hell bent on consuming my soul. So I promptly exited the game and removed any trace of it from my computer. While I waited for the uninstall to complete I verbally congratulated Obsidian on created the most ambitious pile of garbage the world has ever seen.
Part of me feels bad for giving up on such a wildly ambitious project. But the other part of me keeps staring at the ridiculously tall stack of games I am yet to begin (see my back log) Who knows, maybe I'll get back into later once I've found some more patience. Regardless, I think I might wait a little while before firing up New Vegas.
