Does anyone else do this shit?

[Sarah Frazier]

Yep, I do the same thing but not to the same scale. I'll make a bunch of characters to see what clicks or not, then focus more and more on the classes/races I get along with best. The altitis slows, but never fully stops no matter how much I enjoy the character. One will get leveled to about 30 or so, then another character that may make it to 40, then bounce between those two until they get almost to the level cap. Of course I've only managed to get ONE character in the many years of gaming to max level, and only because other people would keep me focused. If left to my own devices, the highest level character MAY get to 2/3 to the cap before I get bored, lonely, and frustrated to the point where I can't stand the game and the people.

I never do this. When I make a character, I finish it.
That would annoy me so badly. Besides, I never try to make them perfect, imperfection is more fun.

There is only 1 instance in which I did this. When I was trying Perfect World.
Goddamn, I can never get into an MMORPG. I love RPG's, but if it is MMO, I just cant get into it.

I had about 6 different playthoughs of Jade Empire with the exact same plot and side quest decisions and combat choices. Baist gaem evar!

 

[PureChaos]

nope, i make my characters for keeps. i may change them eventually once i know more about the character suits my playing style better but that's about it

This is the reason I have yet to beat New Vegas despite having it since release. I lose motivation to keep playing for some reason. Delete my current character and tell my self to put the game away for a month so it'll seem more fresh when I pick it back up. Then I find myself starting over the following day and the process repeats every week ad a half.

I used to roll up hundreds of AD&D characters, I think I've got a similar number of 100 to 150 point GURPS characters. Hardly played any of them.

 

[CactiComplex]

Yeah, I do it a lot as well, probably because I get bored quite easily, or get fed up with specialising in one thing only, or more often than not just for the sake of it.
