That is what holding the ctrl key is for. It fast forwards through anything you have already seen, then stops on anything new, or choices.
Which isn't how the game is meant to be played of course as I don't feel it would then really make sense or have dramatic impact. But up to the player of course. I still don't believe a full content playthrough as we get further in is in the slightest bit viable. Choices will have to be made.

Sorry, I should explain a bit more.

This is part of the design of H5. To make many multiple runs, if not impractical, at least difficult. For what weight does a choice have, if it can be just undone?

Now I'm not saying you can't undo choices but I really do want the players pulse to rise a little on occasion - and not just from lewds.

Oh, no need to debate me, i understand everyone likes different stuff and think thats awesome :D i think DA2 was a good game, but was disappointing and more an hack-and-slash game than Biowares other games(to me), and DAI was just awful in terms of everything, and the camera problems made it unplayable to me, which made me super sad since i love the dragon age universe as a story lore etc. :(
Yeah that's definitely fair enough. DAI was definitely disappointing on many aspects, but the things that really makes me enjoy the games, that is to say the story and companions didn't disappoint imo. Sure, the main antagonist was a bit of a letdown towards the end, but even so I think the story overall does have some really fantastic moments. When you say unplayable btw, does that mean that you never finished the game, or?

I'm personally going to do my initial runs as you intended, but the completionist in me is going to make me want to explore and squeeze as much content as I can from it all, which will likely involve me ctrl skipping some parts in order to reach unseen content. For me personally it doesn't really ruin the overall experience or cheapen it though.

Similar for me. I intend to do 100% roleplay the first few runs with different character mindsets. If I make a "wrong" choice, well too bad, should've thought better. I'll just stick with it.

But then I will look for all the little things I missed, because I'm sure they are too well done to ignore. Although, I suppose at some point some content will really be optional for me.:)

Thanks, what is the best name for chars like that? Like Elena from DMD or Sophia from Melody? Teens, petites, lolis? Idk, i honestly think probably teens is the best one?
I would say teens. Basicially every little sister in a game is a teen ;)

To be frank as the game goes on, I honestly don't see how anyone will have time to explore all the paths. You'd need at least six saves which is going to start to get boring replaying chunks of the same game I'd have thought. I should explain that there is a lot of content in my chapters. Some of it is quite small variations of course, but I really am trying to make your choices matter and stack up. But I suppose my aim is to make the game tailored to your choices, as opposed to being surface dressing or just resulting in different endings. I -think- in Chapter One nearly every choice you made had some impact. Certainly this is true for Chapter Two which is a considerably bigger game.

It's why I can never see anyone successfully doing a walkthrough for H5.
I actually didn't thought that the choices have such a big impact. But that's great!
*has perhaps had too much coffee*
The song is awsome :D and you can never have too much coffee :D

Isn't all content optional ;)

Yes, same i love the companions and storys so much :( yes, sadly, i wanted too but the camera control / mouse and menus, made it for me so i could not see whats going on and where to move etc, and also the constant flashing of things(like the portals etc, theres loads of flashing lights in the game) hurt my eyes alot :cry:
A real shame to hear that, you are really missing out. Perhaps you could try to lower the effects setting in graphics along with others settings, and put the game on easy/casual difficulty just to get the story? :unsure:

To a completionist/100%er there is no such thing as optional.

Zelda breath of the wild, you "needed" 441 out of 900 koroks to increase inventory space. The completionists got all 900, because they are addicts.

I have 3 save files going on for your game right now, 1 nice, 1 middle, 1 bad guy, I intend to see them all through.

I'm actually really flattered the way you guys have leapt into this.

God, I hope you're all still here after Chapter Two!

I've tried believe me, it's actually one of the few games i just can't play(and some other people in some player reviews), on a technical level, but that was not the only thing i disliked in the game(hated the combat and the MC and most of the voice-acting too) but the stories and lore of DA / setting etc are amazing :)
Right, I see what you are getting at, shame that it all didn't work out for you.

I can say that the chance of anyone here leaving is minuscule to none

If I can ask for a future feature. Ability to name save files.

Since there will be male/female/colors/aliens/robots/mutants and more as the MC. Need to keep track of which one you are playing through at a time.
