I'm considering to do just that.

Life ... marriage ... OC?

 

What are we talking here?

 

I started the OC so many times I got bored with doing the first third and so didn't finish it for a long time. I do that with custom modules too when I find a cool item half way though that is class specific. 

 

I have also considered becoming a small holder and keeping chickens. That is less likely I think

The OC? 4 or 5 times I guess. Mostly because I prefer growing a character from nothing to about 12th level. I lose interest after that because high-level play exceeds my level of disbelief. I've been playing SWTOR since it came out and because of this tendency of mine I now have nearly 40 characters created across 4 servers and not a single one of them has reached maximum level.

Now if you are starting over only because you think you made bad choices with your party, then I'm not sure that makes much sense. No party is perfect and to some degree what makes a party unique is their choices.

If real life, that is a different matter entirely. Although the statement about choices is still valid.

Never. If I'm restarting a game I probably don't like it enough to finish it.

[Tchos]

If you mean abandoning a game I've recently started and starting over to make better choices, I rarely do that.  I don't think I did it in NWN2 at all, though I did it in Baldur's Gate.  I didn't even start over in the Witcher when I accidentally, through a slip of the mouse, chose to support the wrong side.

 

I did begin a new game of the OC a little while ago, but it was long after I completed the game.  This time, I want to see what it's like with the thugs and hooligans in Neverwinter and try out a romance I didn't experience.

I've played the OC/MotB three times, with three quite different characters, but I suspect the OP may be asking, if you re-started it. I've not done that. I have gone back to an earlier save though, the first time I did it.

[Naeryna]

I mean any game, but mostly OC and SOZ. I started OC so many times. Same applies to SOZ, but quite recently. I'm considering restarting both OC and SOZ, but I though this is better spot, for this is "General" forum and this is general question.

[PJ156]

They wake up really early just to annoy people and they're extremely destructive. I've lived with those little b******s running all over my house and trashing it 

 

So they're like children then ... already have four of those so I'm going to skip the chickens

I find both hard to restart but have been okay once I got into them. have never managed to finish either from a restart though. What about a custom module instead of the OC again. Or have you played all the major community titles?

I saw an ex-roommate of mine restart the NWN2 OC at least twice (for a total of three characters).  I'm not sure if he even got as far as Highcliff.  And he loves the game!

[kevL]

Restarting? never.

and i reload only for debugging


reloading/ restarting means there's a glitch in the Matrix ....

Great, I'm not the only one! But for sure I'd prefer to have a chicken than a fifth one 

[GCoyote]

Not any of the commercial titles except for MoW. I got less than half an hour into that one before deciding I wanted to to something different. I've restarted a couple of community modules after determining how the author approached the adventure making certain character classes and choices advantageous.

[PJ156]

PJ156.. Four !!

 

Yup! Lucky me

 

4760 - You too? I think that's why we have this hobby. Could not afford any other one.

I don't know if "base character counts" but I restarted i.e. played the tutorial probably a dozen times and then exported by Character at level 3 (ish).

 

The tutorial gets you a +1 weapon, harvest cloak, say a +1 shield, a few healing supplies and say a few hundred coin.

 

I build all my base line pcs...ones that I will play in other mods or eventually finish playing through the oc.

 

i.e.

Base line Aasimir Paladin

Wizard / Eldritch Knight / ASoC

Wood Elf Ranger

Cleric of Tyr 

Favored Soul (cause I had to try)

Evil Bard / Fighter / RDD 

Evil Monk Assassin

Evil Wiz / Rogue / AT

 

Just the classes / class combos I enjoy really

 

Nice base line PCs for community mods in the 3 range which in may experience is a lot of them. Further many mods with start levels i.e. 7 have an auto level up feature ; so given the above equipment you are up for the challenge.

[Naeryna]

I don't think tutorial gives you +1 equipment. I need to check this myself.

[Jfoxtail]

+1 club from a Duerger as I recall... right in your very house... 

 

Perhaps I am think of mage... 

[I_Raps]

Spoiler

A +1 club is found before the tutorial in "Uninvited Guests."  It's Pitney's Club of Lizard-Bopping or something.

 

There is also a +1 club dropped in your house by a duergar, but that is after the tutorial, I think (I don't think the battle in West Harbor is skipped if you skip the tutorial).  

 

p.s.  Be sure to give the crossbow from the archery contest to Bevil before going to the stage - it's pretty unique and by far the most valuable prize to be had from the Harvest Fair, and Bevil will bring it to the battle while your PC can't.

Usually only once, but I had to restart Skyrim four times before I got on the right track for the character type I wanted.

 

The OC I've only played three times, and not all the way through. Usually I get bored with it by the trial prelude... zzzz...

[Dann-J]

The only time I would restart a game is if I've encountered a game-breaking bug that I can't get past. Otherwise I tend to persevere.

 

When I first played the original Baldur's Gate I didn't know you could reroll your statistics during character creation until you were satisfied. I only rolled once, and played the entire game as a fighter with a strength of 13. That fighter eventually became a fighter/thief who went all the way through to the end of Throne of Bhaal.

 

Then again, I like to play flawed characters. They force you to find creative ways around their weaknesses.

[Snowdog65]

My first play of a new game is often abandoned, once I get a feel for it, I see what I could do better.

 

I just started playing SoZ recently. After playing for a bit I realized a couple of things.

 

I wanted/needed more skill points, and rest limitations were annoying me so I restarted with new characters.

 

My main went from a Wood-elf Ranger/Rogue dip, to human (2 more skill/level), and I replaced my wizard with a Warlock (probably the only time I would every use this class).

 

I am most happy with the change to the Warlock that you don't have to conserve spells on. Unlimited group haste is pretty handy and the chain blast is pretty good after a while.

 

But it can be pretty tedious replaying the same section of the game over again to get back to where you were before the restart.
