I play to maximize my character/party.

I'm with this guy. While I'll occasionally finish a game just to see how it ends, by far the biggest draw for me is the feeling of overwhelming the game. If I can pull that off without winning and the ending isn't of interest, then so be it. If I play Master of Magic, it's so I can build a hero that is maxed level that can rape anything without getting injured. If I'm playing a roguelike or sandbox kind of game, I'm more interested in collecting every last artifact and permanent stat bonus or whatever I can, than winning. If it's a more limited/linear experience, I want to beat the strongest enemy as quickly or as easily as possible, purely through my own devices. Often that ends up being the final boss, but not always.
