Replay value?

[1995 Suzuki Samurai]

This the type of game that you could replay again or is it a one and done?

[LotR[Henchman]]

I'd say you can replay it.
While it's mostly a storytelling game and the core story will stay mostly the same. The narrative changes quite a lot by the stats/skills you choose for your character and you'll have quite a few different routes to get some things done and even outcomes in smaller things.

Having done my first playthrough with Intellect and Motorics i've now concentrated more on Psych and have been astonished at how many different dialogue options showed up.

[esculapio]

Mmm... with so many games available (and coming) why would you want to play it again? I know that RPG games can be different on second playthroughs but the experience is not as fulfilling as the first just like watching a movie.

[Gestum]

My playthrough was as a very intelligent, brilliant cop with decent Psyche and weak in Physique and Motorics. Now I'm planning to at least start another game as a stupid brute to see how different the experience will be - but maybe not a full playthrough again...

[LDiCesare]

I tried to replay it but gave up pretty quickly. You'll get some significant new dialogues, but the books you read will be the same, the story will be the same, and you may succeed some checks that allow you to do a few things, but mostly things will be repeating themselves a lot. I find the random skill checks particularly tedious in a replay, as if you picked a stupid guy and now pick a clever one on second playthrough but roll 2 on that intellect-related check, you get the same dialogues and options as in your first run, so it reduces the interest of runnign the game again.

Reading these replies has honestly left my mouth gaping IRL.

Of course there's huge replay value. It's a CRPG with a heavy agency-based gameplay system that literally adjusts the world based on your decisions.

I've amassed 100 hours on this game in the course of a month, and I am still not tired of it. Have people in this thread even tried certain approaches?

You can literally play the whole game without even talking to Evrart or Joyce.

You can avoid touching the hanged man and still unwrap the mysteries of the murder.

You can go kneedeep in Electrochemistry, do drugs and Al-Gul and say racist things and literally fail the investigation.

I'm on my 5th run, and I am still thinking over things I haven't done.

[VIM40]

I'm on my second play through and I'm doing things significantly different.

I'm surprised someone has 3,600+ !

I think it's fair that unlike us, he has games that he actually plays despite them being unbundled ones almost.

I'm not sure why I'm bothering replying to the gross undertone of "you're so poor and not as important as me." But I'll humor you.

I own more than 12 games. It's called culling your library. Via Steam support, you can remove titles from your library. I typically remove games that I know I won't play. I like keeping things neat and orderly, so as not to have a jumbled mess of titles that will likely just collect dust.

I just don't like keeping games in my library that I know that I'll likely never install. And, I don't buy games frivolously because saving money for a house is my primary financial goal as of this time. I buy good games that I know I'll play numerous times, so replay value and RPG go pretty well together for me.

I know it's difficult to understand from someone with an overabundance of games you'll likely never play in your lifetime, satiating your lust for having a bigger library that somehow validates you as a better person than everyone else. Continue playing anime visual novels and cheap hentai games, while having a superiority complex. It's a good look.

Honestly it's only as *samey* as Planescape. You can certainly get different outcomes but major story points are railroaded. Which is fine! But I wouldn't consider an 9th playthrough type game.

[J4MESOX4D]

I've completed the game once and although I'd like to do it again and play a completely different way, I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon. Probably in the future if I get a chance and when I've forgotten parts of the game. I don't think I could tolerate a second playthrough so soon despite missing out on a couple of quests and being eager to see how a couple of events pan out differently.

It's a fantastic game but in terms of replayability, I can only see most users playing once or twice
- the latter with a completely different style to their first attempt. As said above, major parts of the game are more railroaded that it would appear early on and there's a few 50/50's towards the end. A key part of the game is the church quests which I didn't do so I will definitely explore those if I do it again sometime.

I'm also waiting for Ultrawide support so if that comes in, it might be a good excuse to have another look.

Meh. I loved my first playthrough. But on my second playthrough, I played an almost exact opposite character, but the game itself felt pretty much exactly the same as my first. I have absolutely no desire to do a third. The world in fact does not adjust at all to my decisions. The world remains pretty static, regardless of what decisions I made.

Sounds like a game with a lot of replayability, but it might be better to take a break between plays.

But he doesn't even have hentai games

Yeah this game has a lot of replayability. I really REALLY suggest anyone who's playing on the first one don't use any build, just be yourself, you'd really discover who you are in the process. Also, failing is unpredictable, fun and sometimes rewarding too.
