I play games like they are games.Depending on what game it is or how complex the systems are I might skim through a faq to see how to build my character.I had enough times in different games where I played for around 8 hours or more to find out that my character is shit.It was so shit that it was better restarting than pushing through.I think at this point I can figure out most games so I try to avoid it but if you have a lot of options I still might resort to faqary.
When building my character I focus on combat,there are a few reasons for that:
1.Most games have a lot of it,so it seems like a good idea to be good at the thing you are going to be doing at least 60% of the time.
2.It is the most enjoyable thing for me in games.
3.The second most enjoyable is exploration,and while doing it you will probably be fighting often.
After combat skills are moderate-high I start focusing on lockpicking type skills and after that on speech skills which I rarely use.
In terms of quest progression,it depends on the game.When I have the freedom to go wherever I want I usually pick up all the quests I can and forget about them when I start exploring.
About playing it iron man,I play it anti iron-man,its almost a compulsion.I never do anything game breaking but my view is that if it's in the game then fuck it,why not.
Overall from a roleplaying standpoint my dude becomes more of hunter/scavenger/treasure hunter than a hero.only goes to town when he is out of supplies or accumulated so much shit he has to sell some of it to make room.
