Anyone Else Gonna Play A Dead Is Dead Game? : V - Skyrim

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 8:10 am

I don't have the time to build up a character to never use ever again.

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 9:36 am

Was that on a DiD playthrough?

Yeah

I'll always say I will, and sometimes even try, but when it comes right down to it and I've made a ton of progress and end up dying, I'm sure I'll rely on a save unless I somehow disabled the ability to do so before hand.

With that said, it also depends on how I die. If I die because the game isn't fair, in that I fall through the map, get stuck somewhere, or fall upon a glitch similar to that of the infamous Molag Bal glitch from Oblivion of which I was victim to on a character that only had one save and I had spent over 50 hours on, then I'll likely go against my word, but I won't blame myself.

Nah sounds boring. I play to have fun. I'm immortal.

That seems pretty stupid. But to each his own. I would be doing it...Especially since I play on the hardest difficulty so death in Skyrim will be a natural gameplay experience every once in a while.

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 9:28 am

Wait... actually, I think I might do this. I'd only do it in the case that I film it, so I feel like I have something to show for it.

There's a snowball's chance in hell of me doing this. I don't need to be hardcoe, or prove to anybody (including myself) that I'm the best person at this game. I play if for fun, not to get frustrated that I sunk 40 hours into a game and died because I happened to get mobbed by goblins. No one will ever know whether you did or not anyway. I really like the characters I create, I get into it, and I already feel bad enough when they die because I got in over my head. I know a lot of people like to struggle with every mob they come upon but I like to stride through the world like a god smiting my enemies.

I dont think people do it to prove anything to anyone. It is just a different way to play. It is certainly a slow way to play.

I like it because i dont play many games, it is a way to just chill at night. Dont need to charge through. Its like reading a really good book

Not the first game. Once I get used to it and am good at it, I always do this a couple times.

Yeah, if something like that happens, i would certainly reload.

DID for me is avoiding the following.
I have seen a number of people play, and they will get in a dungeon, save, run in to find the people fight as long as can,die, reload, and then go slow and pick them off.

I dont see much of a point playing like this. If there is no loss in death, then there is no point in attempting to avoid death.

I would try it, but I feel it would be too much like a diet and I would cheat.

LOL Agree!!! :rofl:

I will play DID mode, I have played warlords battlecry in ironman mode for 8 years and its still fun. TES is another game that replay never gets old.will still keep one character to see the storyline but that will be around fifth or tenth try. i never finish storyline immediatelly did that with fallout 3 ruined my next plays(New vegas fixed that

.

BTW does morrowind work for win 7?

Worked fine for me.

People don't understand why you do a DID play through.

The rule forces you to play way more cautiously. You end up doing everything you can to prepare for a wilderness trip or a dungeon crawl, every fight becomes more exciting, you use every single advantage you can to stay alive etc. It's there to make your life mean more, and thus add excitement to the game.

I won't try it immediatly, but if in a few years, I haved milked out of all the entertainment I can out of the game, I might give it a shot.

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 11:00 am

I'll prolly try it, then if/once i die just say "well I failed that" and load the last checkpoint. So maybe I'lll play one of those. Depends if I die or not lol

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 7:59 pm

I'm actually going to do this in a little bit on oblivion though i feel like I'll die when when I see that Khajiit trying to rob me in the beginning. :mellow:

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 11:18 am

I will not attempt any 'Dead Is Dead' run through attempts in a game that...
'Conservative estimates suggest there'll be upwards of 300 hours of gaming '

Too big of a game, and to be perfectly honest, I don't think it's even possible.

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 2:01 pm

nah, I want to have fun when I play and if I can only get so far and if I lose items and levels I worked hard to get I will not be having fun. No thanks

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:05 am

I may eventually dabble in it, but not at first most likely. That and I have a feeling I may wind up fudging it anyway...

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:35 am

I'm intrigued by how intense people say it can be. I think I might give it a try but not on my first character because I want to experience the game at least once without having to restart halfway through because I died lol.

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 1:53 pm

I like my characters I create to much to lose them like that, I also like to build stories around my characters on how they would interact with each other in the game world.

» Sat Sep 17, 2011 3:32 pm

Meanwhile I dont get it.
