I liked Fable 2 a lot, the series had a lot of charm and it's one of the few instances of having a dog as a companion that actually worked well (I'm not normally a fan, and even found Hack's dog to be a bit of a nuisance). I did often feel I was being trolled by its approach to savegames though!
I've occasionally ragequit (well, nothing quite that dynamic, but "slightly annoyedquit" doesn't have the same impact) in those situations and not picked it up again for some time, after which I may use an entirely different approach or just cheat to make up lost time. I don't think there's a game which I've totally abandoned as a result (unless I really didn't care for it anyway) though the Bethesda ones in particular do invite some tinkering with their command console if something goes awry.
