I'm pretty sure I'll have to reload for a dialogue choice or two.  But not for the substantive choices unless they were really poorly explained.

 

"dead is dead" I think doesn't work with linear, story focused games.  It needs a good degree of randomness or it just gets annoyingly repetitious.

[Zombie_Alexis]

I am in! I always play my first time this way, anyway. I miss a bunch of stuff and people die, but my next, more thorough play through always has surprises.

[Quill74Pen]

The first time I heard of the "Dead is Dead" method was some fellow who was playing Skyrim, and explained it to me. I was like, "Dude, you have way too much time on your hands, but whatever floats your boat!"

[Nimlowyn]

This is usually how my first playthroughs are. The exception was DA2, because I was getting used to the dialogue wheel. 

[Quill74Pen]

Hmmm, I'm tempted to give this a try. I never reload if a decision I make doesn't work out the way I want it too, but I always reload when I die. The dragons look awfully challenging... Okay. I will just have to be cautious. It doesn't have to be a nonstop play through, right? I mean, not all in one sitting, because I can't do that.

 

Tsk, tsk. It has to be a straight play through, and there are *NO* breaks for water, food or trips to the bathroom. *salutes* Good luck, and may the Force be with you.

Well I don't know! That's why I asked.

He's kidding

First playthrough is always blind! It's always interesting playing again or talking to a friend and getting those "YOU CAN DO THAT?" moments.

People reload on their first playthrough?

 

I save a lot in every game, because I'm a save fiend and I hate crashes or accidently dying and having to replay shittons of gameplay I learned that the hard way...

 

But I never EVER reload on the first playthrough. The first playthrough, unspoiled and shiny, with no guides for help. Mistakes will be made. Some choices end up being bad or good. It's the whole experience of a shiny new game. With all the lovely twists and turns. What makes or breaks a game for me is if I can complete it with out outside help on the first pass... even if that pass takes forever because I keep dying or because I made the wrong choice and everything is falling down around my ears .

 

Reloading on the first playthrough is like reading ahead in a book. Blasphemy!

[Azure]

The only time I haven't followed this was DA2. I was going to take Bethany into the Deep Roads and Varric was so foreboading I changed my mind. I'll probably do this for my first Inquisition run as well. Maker knows my first run of both other games were awful, I kind of want to keep the trend!

[Enshaid]

I only reload the first time through if I've ruined a romance. And I only did that once in ME3. Because apparently voicing legitimate concerns of the, "You told me to **** off on Horizon." variety ends the romance.

But yeah, I am a sucker for dem romances so I probably will go meta if I think I screwed something up.

[Killdren88]

Yeah, I'm a wuss. I reloaded after I found out I could save Connor and his mom and went straight to the Mage tower. I couldn't do this challenge.

[Zeldrik1389]

The only times I have to reload is when I got killed and didn't want to start all over again ).  ME 1 krogan battlemaster and that damn Orge on Ostagar tower are responsible for this lol

Exactly. Those moments are priceless.

[Quill74Pen]

I'm aware of that. He was implying my question was stupid, and maybe it was, but I honestly didn't know.

 

Dude, in no such way did I imply your question was stupid. Good God. Just as soon as you think you don't need emoticons to denote the meaning of your words, you find out that, no, you really do need emoticons. Sheesh. And I thought the Jedi quote at the end was indicative enough of my mood at the time.

I'm a bit OCD about fixing mistakes due to my job, so I think I'd fail pretty hard if I tried to make myself stick to a no reload rule. The compulsion to fix things is probably going to be too strong to resist, heh.

[Remmirath]

When I saw the title, I thought this meant no reloading at all, and starting a new game if death occurs. That's not something I'd do the first time through, although it's a nice challenge on later playthroughs. Probably not something I'll do at all in Inquisition, in fact, since I usually reserve that for games where I can create the whole party and where party members will stay dead.

I never reload to correct mistakes that were made in character unless they actually render the game unplayable (some games, for instance, you can end up turning every NPC in the land against you by clipping one of them with a fireball, and then it's not possible to finish the game). I will occasionally reload to correct an out of character mistake -- if I accidentally selected a dialogue option I wasn't intending to select, for example -- but otherwise I reload only if the game would otherwise be ended. Reloading for angering a companion or getting a poor outcome on some quest, however, is not something I'd ever do. Goes completely against what I want out of a roleplaying game. Heck, I like screwing those things up now and again. Makes things more interesting.

If the dialogue wheel/paraphrasing causes something that I did not intend, however, I count that as an out of character mistake (likely one causing the character to act out of character, which I will certainly reload to prevent). Hopefully I won't have to this time, but the threat remains.

[Talagen]

I might, but it all depends on how well the paraphrasing is in the game.  I remember cringing several times when I started DAII.  I learned to save often after that.

[KC_Prototype]

This was my plan for my initial play through from the start.

[Blackrising]

Nah, I generally aim for the best possible outcome right from the beginning, and that includes reloading every companion conversation five thousand times until I have found the perfect balance between sucking up to them and allowing my character to be themselves. It's actually more fun for me this way.

[Allan Schumacher]

The only way to play the first playthrough IMO!

[thedistortedchild]

Definitely doing this my first playthrough! I did it for the firs two games, why not do it again. 

[Innsmouth Dweller]

Hah, I always reload just to see what would happen if I did something else. I might try different approach just for the fun of it. Challange accepted ;D
