    Oh yeah, I do have a tendancy to play a game until the final dungeon and then say "I want to get stronger first" and then get bored with that and stop playing for months, sometimes years, and the come back and say, well at this point I want to start over. And then repeat.

    Deus Ex Human Revolution, I was like 40% of the way through when suddenly I realized I had screwed a couple of things up. So I restarted there and then. I'm now like 80% of the way through and realized I could have had a far easier time of it if I had done some other bits and pieces different. Like activating and maxing the game breaking Typhoon early on.

    Oh God don't remind me of the amount of times I restarted FFXII because I didn't play it in a long time and now sort of didn't know what I was doing when I picked it up again...

    I think I've done this for most of the games I own. The Sims 3 is the worst. I get quite deep and attached to a family, then I for whatever reason stop playing, and then... oh well, start with a new one.

    I'm not a strong finisher, has to be said.

    All the time, I'll make a choice I didn't mean to or I'll regret one, then reset out of frustration.

    I've only done this a couple times. If I'm far in a game it's not worth it.

    Once I looked up Star Ocean 2 on GameFAQs I immediately deleted my save and started over.

    You are well rewarded for using a strategy guide, much like all tri-ace games.

    This totally reminded me about my first run at Suikoden, yea, I got to the end and had to restart because I failed to recruit one person so I couldn't get the perfect ending.

    pretty much every game. like it takes me a fair while to stop being completely useless and at that point I'm like "well what if I started now?​"

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I always cried a little inside when my boyfriend got a game that started with creating a custom playable character because he would always spend hours customizing, tweaking everything just slightly, and then restarting and doing it all over again with a different kind of character. Then he'd play a couple more hours and repeat.

    With TES I spend 45 minutes making the perfect character and then at the last second deciding I want to be a different race.
