Hey all, as some of you may have noticed, Fallout 4 has already turned one month old! In games like this, we inevitably make lots and lots of characters, but how fast do we do it, and exactly how much care do we put in each one of them? So, tell us..
I've had four. I made one, got mostly through the Main Quest before restarting.
Played the second one for a while, with what I learned from No. 1, but I eventually got tired of what I was doing.
For my third one, I started with a gun build, but dabbled in some melee and liked it enough to want to do a pure melee build.
That's what I'm on now.
I have done only two. The first one I did at 5 A.M release day: I made him in a hurry and to try to control the hype beast. That day, I stayed up until midnight, thinking it would release exactly at midnight here in Brazil, but it turned out I had to wait another three hours, one of them was wasted discussing the matter in the Steam Forums, and then I overslept and woke up quite late, realizing I had missed entire TWO hours of fresh Fallout gameplay.
To sum it up, the character turned out to be quite bad, it was just the generic dude, and I played with him until reaching Diamond City, when I felt something was off and had to make a new one, my true first character, with whom I have now completed the MQ.
I have plans for my third and fourth characters, but right now I'm too invested in my Asturias campaign in TWA: Age of Charlemagne to bother, plus it'll be better to start them once my new GPU arrives (Next week!)... Though I'll likely be grabbing the Witcher trilogy during the Steam Holidays Sale, so it'll be a while until I get back to F4 - not counting the days I'll be out of town...
Two so far, though I have no idea how many hours in each. The first one has got through the main story and his motivations somewhat redefined, so still playing him. The other is Furiosa, who's still pretty early in the story. I'd say I give them both about equal attention.
I've made a total of 6 characters, of which one is the main, two others are serious (to experience the Railroad and Brotherhood endings respectively, both still aren't finished) and the others so far are just for fun or testing things.
The last save for my main character indicates 2d 2h 26m, I guess that should be the total time played. Measured only in hours it should be approx. 50.5.
I have 7 so far. My main character, who I have played about 5 days with. The others I am not really sure about playtime. I have one for each faction and the others are ones that I just use to test different perks and weapons. One of those has turned into a favorite though. She runs around punching things with bladed knuckles while wearing armored evening wear.....
I'm curious how assassins playthroughs work in FO. My characters were always gun nuts, in the best Tarantino style (not counting Kill Bill) when it comes to combat, with no real special approach other than regular gun fighting. Do you plan on making him/her specialized in melee or ranged combat?
