How many playthroughs have you done?

Post » Mon Feb 23, 2009 5:45 am

How many files have you made, or playthroughs?

I actually haven't completed the game once yet, but I've made a new file at least 8 times. I have like 24 saves since for each file I make 2 saves in case I save over one of the wrong ones (And luckily for me, I had a second save when I saved over my main file on accident) and I made a few checkpoint saves before I do something highly risky or do something possibly gamechanging.

I've done one main file, first one being at level 27. The next one was a female character using guns. Next was an Energy Weapons based character. Next was Melee/Unarmed, and I made a few other ones for fun that used any weapons. My most recent one is going to be my level 30 character and the first one I'll beat the game with. Doing House quests.

None yet. (I'm not past the NCR barracks yet, on my first PC).

I'm closing in on the end to my fourth game. I finished Game 2 and this is Game 4, both on PC. Game 1 stopped at Oh My Papa because of a logic problem and Game 3 is unfinished because it crashes so badly. Sadly, both 1 and 3 are on PS3.

One of my favorite things is companions and they get me through all the fighting. I have the Unlimited Companions mod and the battle at the Dam will include me with Boone, ED-E, Cass and Raul. My characters are high Charisma and Luck, pretty well balanced among the rest. I took no Traits on Game 4 and did a lot of Intense Training to get the Primary numbers up and doing it that way, I did without many Perks. I had Arcade on my Game 2 but he won't be on this one so it'll be a bit different at the endgame. :)

I have done 3 or 4 restarts. My last is the longest I have played, over 20 hours. Problem is, I haven't touched the game in over a month. I guess I have Fallout burnout and needed a break from it. I have the itch to play it soon.

I've found myself not wanting to restart too many times in this Fallout. FO3 I had about 600 hours into, and about six different characters. I find myself getting bored with NV. Not sure exactly why. I have only created 2 characters. Good and evil.

Ah, I really want to have the PC version now because of the mods. But then again, I'm not used to the controls for FPS's on the computer. The WASD controls were so [censored] when I tried it. Bah...

I'm using a gamepad for FNV on my PC. The Logitech F510. I haven't learned to use the keyboard controls yet but am just starting Morrowind so I guess I'll know them by the time I've reached the end of that game. :) I can't tell you how happy I am that I switched to PC.

Seven playthroughs :spotted owl:
I JUST finished my seventh today.
FO in general has unlimited replay value to me, it's the only game I've played for moe than 200 hours. FO3 I clocked 1500 hours <.<
NV is a bit more story oriented so I'm guessing I'll pull around 6-800 on NV.

Let's see. I have nine characters, I've finished the game seven times ( I only did the legion ending once since it was the quickest), and I don't plan on doing any more of the quests, except to black widow Benny again, that was pretty fun.

Right now I just load up the game to slaughter Caesar's legionaries. Too bad they occupy such a small portion of the map. I wish that black mountain radio had more dialogue I like best friend Tabitha.

Four playthroughs, on two different characters. Did Yes-Man and NCR on one, and Legion then House on the second. While I liked House, I probably will never do another Legion or House run because I don't like having to kill off the BoS. I'm taking a break from the game for now to prevent burn out, but next character I will probably do Yes-Man again.

The IWS-Increased Wasteland Spawns gives you more legion to kill as well as a couple specific Legion mods that add more Legion guys to the game.

I have finished the game 4 times with Yes Man, twice with the legion, twice with the NCR and once for Mr House. I have well over 500 hours of gameplay and haven't slowed down yet, I test mods for a few modders so I have many characters I start but don't necessarily finish, just checking out the mods. I have started at least 37 characters, but again, many were for testing.

2 toons at 200+ hrs each. In FO3 I had 2 at 300 hrs each. I never finished the game on my #2 character in either game. I start getting a little bored and I move on to modding.

Let's see, the game was released on October 19th. I didn't play until the following Monday.

WWW...hell...I have one character and I'm still on my 1st playthrough. I'm level 24 and I haven't even met Benny.

5 complete...

Many, many other failed trips into the Mojave OZ along the I 95 yellow brick road..
Where the wicked old mutant witch and the flying cazadore's monkeys, caught me and my slippers before I reached House the wizard.

Three: Two independent and one Legion. My second with Yes Man was intended to be NCR, but I had enough of them and couldn't bring myself to help them. I'll start a House playthrough soon.

Five significant runs, three completes with House, Independant, and NCR.

NCR seemed the best so far, most immersive and quest filled. Which is weird because out of the factions I dislike the NCR the most.
For some reason the independant run made me feel guilty, and working with Yes Man leaves one with a greasy aftertaste.
House was just a [censored] to work for.
Started a melee build with Legion intent but after I got Knock Knock the game got so easy I restarted another guns char. I might revive him at some pt tho....

I've finished the game with two characters so far, and I'm in the middle of the game with my third character.

2, one NCR, one Yes Man. My current one is Yes Man as well because I created a character and Yes Man is the only quest path that will make sense for him.
