How will you play your 1st NV playthrough?

Post » Wed Sep 15, 2010 4:34 am

Helllooo chillldrenn, it is time for yet another exciting poll. ♪

Me: Good, Hard, hardcoe. ^_^ similar to my first FO3 run.

Oh and give a rough sketch of your character build too;
I'll be a high-tech ninja, and Tag: Lockpicking, Science, and Sneak, focusing on them along with: Barter, Energy Weapons, Medicine, Repair and Speech.

Good, Normal, hardcoe.
I figure if I play it on hard first time, it won't be any different on a second playthrough!
And after that, mods should have evolved enough to make the concept of not having something new to do alien once more :D

Good, Very Easy, Casual. I just want to be told the story without interruption the first time. After that, I'll try Evil, Normal, and maybe hardcoe. I like realism mods like NOM for Morrowind - where you need to find water - but I'll try it without first.

Good, Normal, Casual for me. I like to enjoy the scenery a bit first without sitting outside Vegaton croaking 'Water, water...' :P

After that (or maybe during that) playthrough I'll probably switch to hardcoe and see what's what out there :)

EDIT: Tag Skills: Small Guns, Repair, Sneak (probably) - going to be a sniper

I'll more than likely play a good aligned character mainly as I have to work at being an evil one, and for the difficulty probably easy and casual just to see what's all around. Having said that I might change my mind on the last two depending on how it looks when I get my grubby lil hands on it so to speak.

I'll probably pick Small Guns, Repair, and Lockpick as my tag skills. I've picked those for every Fallout game. They just seem to be the most sensible to me (Small guns: Variety and decent power, Repair: Fix said guns, Lockpick: Get into places to get guns to repair :P )

Neutral, Normal, hardcoe. The idea is that I want to go into the game with as little knowledge of it as possible, and play on hardcoe mode and normal dificulty to most closely simulate the experience of trying to survive in the fallout world. My character will be a good-intentioned, kind-hearted guy but one who doesn't hesitate to do what's necessary, and I want to see how the evens and struggles of the game will affect him, whether he will succumb to selfish behaviour etc.

hardcoe.. which means hard.

Realistically I always end up Neutral, even if I try to be good. But then that's hardcoe for ya :P

I also end up being the won't-fight-an-honest-fight, in-the-back-shooting, sneaky sniper bastard :D

Good, easy, and casual. My first playthrough on Fallout3 wasn't much different, and I died... alot. Nowadays I play on very hard with MMM increased spoawns and feral ghoul rampage.

Same here... 'Cept for the fact that in my case "selfish behavior" involves running around with explosives proclaiming "I'm Grenademan!" and that everyone shall "Say hello to my cute bombs"


Aside from that, though, I'll try to maintain neutral karma

Good, easy, casual. I just want to get the jist of the game and it's storyline, and not have to worry to much about death in any way really.

Neutral - because i like to be able to do somthing based on how i feel i should do it and not because im trying to make my guy 100% good or evil

Normal - not to easy and not to hard

hardcoe - make the game feel more like im trying survive in a post apocalyptic land

Second playthrough- Neutral, normal, casual(maybe HC), mods.
Third playthrough- Evil, normal, either difficulty, mods.

I'll play on normal, hardcoe mode... but depending on how many people need to die, it's really up in the air whether I'll be good or bad. If Mayor dike annoys me, he'll find a landmine in his bed.

Concerning my character, I'm going to probably focus on explosives, cause that's what I do best. I enjoy making things go 'pop'. If there's a system to set up traps, I'll be all over that.

I expect that my character will be good on my first playthrough, in most RPGs that allow a choice between good and evil, this is often what happens, often, even when I set out to be evil I'll end up finding the good options more appealing anyway and become good. On my second playthrough, I'll likely try to be evil so I can experiment with other options.

For difficulty, probably the default difficulty, with most games I like to keep it on this unless it turns out to be either too easy or two hard, as I figure that the standard difficulty is probably closest to how the developers intended the game to be experienced.

As to the last one, casual, I'll probably never touch hardcoe except to see what it's like, as from what I've heard, it sounds like everything I'd consider to be "bad realism" in video games, i.e., adding features just because they're realistic, even though all they do is make the game more frustrating, not more fun, but that's why it's good that it's optional. I suppose some actually LIKE needing to eat and drink in games, I'm just not one of them.

On my first playthrough, I always play just as I would IRL, using anything I can find, searching everything, getting into everything, and making choices as I would, so if hes good,evil,neutral, its a reflection of me and how I'm feeling. Then, I'll do it on hardcoe mode, and then again on hardcoe hard if i feel like it, then I'll do different styles, playtypes and builds.

Normal... Alignment doesn't really matter considering moral choices tend to favor good with better rewards -_-

I will probably be good karma with normal difficulty on casual. Then on my second playthrough I allways have bad karma so i will probably have bad karma on hard with hardcoe on.
