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?

I'm doing a replay (really I'd consider it a first playthrough if not for a very brief attempt when it came out) of fonv and I'm hitting the part where you have to go around to different factions for yes man. If the fonv map isn't one of the more difficult to figure out I dunno which is. I'm beginning to believe my game is glitched or something, every time I arrive at a marked destination on the map for said mission there's no one there and the mark moves right behind me. Go back through the gate, nothing there. Maybe I'm just dense but it's quickly depleting my interest. I've been running around for probably 4 hours combined trying to figure out wtf I'm doing wrong.
