What self-restrictions do you use? - 05/09/22 09:37 AM
There was some talk in another thread about setting up your own internal rules in the game. Ways to challenge yourself, perhaps. Or just ways to make the game more fun for yourself.
I'd be curious to hear how some of you play. Maybe you have some ideas I'd like to adopt in my own playthroughs.
Lately, I've been trying out a few different things.
1. I only let rogues hide during combat as a bonus action,
2. I only use items that are on the character. Meaning I don't shuffle items mid combat.
3. I don't use the fast travel option, and I only allow myself the opportunity to go to camp when I'm at a waypoint. And I can only use each waypoint once.
4. No reloading after bad rolls.
5. No revivify scrolls or using Withers. Death is death.
6. No throwing potions.
I also make an active effort to use my consumables as much as possible. For me, that makes the game so much more fun, and I don't end up having a ton stockpiled at the end.
Are there any things you like to do in your playthroughs?
(Please note: this is NOT a thread about how you shouldn't have to self-restrict because the game should blah blah whatever. Please save those comments for elsewhere.)
