Dead is Dead. If you die you delete your save and start over. Will you ever do this with one of your characters? I might.

No. It makes sense for a mostly linear 20 hour game like The Witcher. It makes no sense for an open-world game like TES where you can go anywhere at any time even if it's risky, and a single character can last hundreds of hours.

Yes, I've done it on Fallout 3 and it was an incredible experience. For added realism, I suggest turning off the HUD.

Not a chance. Make one character, play that character for 350 hours is more my idea of a plan.

Perma death? NTY.

It'd most likely end up killing the game for me. So no, I won't be trying this.

It could be fun for a playthrough, although I wouldn't get attached to that character very much since I'd know about the inevitable death. It'd be interesting to see me become 100% more of a coward knowing that if I die it is truly the end, rather than hiding behind endless saves. I can imagine myself running from dozens of fights and avoiding any forms of battle. :blush:

no sir i shall not

maybe on my second playthrough

I will, and then I'll mod in gravestones and place them at the spot where my hero fell.

I might after playing through several times and getting bored of the game.

In Oblivion, I do a few of those hardcoe things halfway. I don't eat or drink, but I do sleep. I don't delete a save when I die, but I get out of dodge if I'm going to die. Many an NPC has died because I was reckless. In Skyrim, I'm probably going to eat and drink, too. I'll also do my best to make friends with my favorite NPCs, visit them frequently, have my personal favorite shops, and have a bar that I go to at least once every other week. If my life is in danger, I'll do all that I can to survive, but I am sure that I will die at some point. Maybe it's because I wasn't playing close enough attention to how much damage I was taking. Maybe some freak situation where I fall on top of ten strong enemies occurs. I doubt that I'll have divine intervention, but even if I could prevent death in every single way possible...but the time I've spent being so hardcoe, and really feeling out the character, and then choosing whether or not to let them be permanently dead...I'm not gonna make that choice. I'm going to pull a Deus Ex Machina, become Akatosh/Alduin, turn back time to my last save, and go from there.

I prefer to enjoy my games.

personally no if you want it go for it

Absolutely not. I roleplay. I get attached to my character. Not only would it be heart-breaking, but it would make no sense, from a roleplaying perspective, to have multiple characters pass through the exact same things in the quests.

My first playthrough is less about roleplaying, however, and more about learning how the game works, learning the story, and learning what the game has to offer. The more hardcoe roleplaying comes in subsequent playthroughs.

Nope, not for me.

My first playthrough is my ultimate role-play playthrough. Everything is new so I can play the game with a blank state. Other play throughs are to make different decisions during quests.

With a nonserious character that isn't my main maybe

As for my main, hell naw lol.

I could how ever make a replica of my main character and do so lol.

nope. won't.
I enjoy it be reloading.
each there own though

Did a Ranger in Oblivion. Full on, had a camp, ate, slept, sold furs in town. You really have to play cautiously and it was a fun spin for a replay. I'm sure I'll do something similar for Skyrim, in one of my subsequent playthroughs.

ha no way

Sound cool once I'm pretty much done with the mainquest, why not I may even be quite reckless be the impechous knight or I may play it safe and be a hunter till one day I stray to far

There are better ways to motivate yourself to avoid dead, like exiting the game after being killed (to avoid savegame corruption). If I try DID some day, it would be only untill I feel myself enough attached to my character.

yep ill be trying to stay alive its the ultimate role play for me you die youre dead no reload you failed makes the game more real when you can pay the ultimate price for your actions now that said if i go thru the same thing so many times and i get itred of it and its not fun anymore or i feel i wont ever be able to do it without dieing ill eventually quit starting over but im sure gonna try to get thru without dieing first even if i run like a sissy now and then . one charicter build dont work ill try another i may not even delete them upon death if i really like them but just not play with them until i get a charicter to live thru it all .That or i just accept i cant do it no matter what build i use and am tired of doing the same stuff .Playing like this will make me be prepaired for anything and keep my potion stock up or spells at hand and my eyes and ears open for sure.Wanna swim in that under water cavern im makeing sure i got options to breath.Just seems like a neat way to try and play if it getts to the point it isnt fun ill quit .

Yes, I do this fairly often, as it ups my performance in-game with the risk of death around every corner.

Unless I'm roleplaying, witch I do even more often.

No thanks.
