You....didn't include literal "fuck everything V.3"

the person who reads a strategy guide/tips&tricks, finds, then fucks with every object, talks to/beats up all the NPCs, accepts every quest and never finishes them (in hopes of completing the S.quest during the M. quest), and stops playing after five hours.


Pretty much the story of how I got my friend into Monster Hunter World.

Fuck everything aka speedrunner? : D
More like, "I'm gonna fuck shit up" :P

I'm pretty much the explorer. My earliest memory of that is from Morrowind, when it was just released. Got the first quest after creating my character and doing the "who are you"-tutorial.
"Go to Caius Costales Cosades in Balmora, here's some money, use the silt strider."

How about I walk there myself, and save money? Oh! A cave! Oh! A bandit! ... Oh? I can join guilds? Oh? Picking up stuff, and selling them? Collecting candles? Heck yea! ...
100 hours later, fully equipped with daedric armour and weapons: "Hmm, what's this? Caius... Cosades... ? I recognize that name... was that from some quest?"
*talks to him*
Caius: "Hey, thanks for speaking to me, I need you to kill some rat or something. Here, have this nice weapon, it will suit you for now, before you get a sharp weapon that you might cut yourself on!"
*receives wooden dagger*

... Thanks Caius...

I like it. But you forgot the, 'spends 60 hours completing all side quests before touching the main quest for the first time' guy.
I still haven't got past the high hrotgar in Skyrim. I finished all the magic guild quests two times, I finished the assassin guild quests, I finished the thief guild quests twice, I became a werewolf (didn't finish the whole Sword guild quests though) on one save file, a vampire on another, I finished the whole war thing twice, one for each side, got pretty much every deadra artifacts twice...
I have over 400 hours in Skyrim with all my different playthrough combined.

I'm the cautious one, with many savepoints, just in case I need to revert.
I'm also a collector, and like to get or finish all quests from one place before advancing in the story, and don't complete the game until I'm at 100%. as a result, I often never complete the game :(
hey, I still didn't complete zelda breath of the wild, because I miss the DLC quests

Im somewhere in between cautious and explorer. I don't collect every single thing and explore every single spot, but I spend a lot of time doing that in between the main story. I have to find a balance so that I don't get bored of the game.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I meant that I read that they can also identify as what i mentioned

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I identify as Long Rod Johnson, cause a cat called me that once.

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    [takes a 👀 in your pants] Liar :angry:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, and thus that would make me non binary since i feel like a blend of both male and female

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    @Xdqwerty only time will tell, what/whom you are. At 14, its a bit early to "Define" yourself. :)

    I wish I could sum it up for children to understand but it truly takes living a lifetime of learning

    @Psionic Roshambo, ask chatgpt or Google gémini to summarize it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol summarize life's lessons
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    My wifey tells me all the time "You need to grow the fuck up." Which I don't understand, cause I'm full grown already.
