What’s the fascist hunting background? I would wanna be that.
I have the vague idea to play through all three, each up to the title card, and save there to try the next. Then, in theory, play the one that’s most appealing. Am I alone in this?

I’ll save that for the eventual “Definitive edition” with all the enhancements, DLC’s, bells and whistles I think.
I know its a problematic mindset, but games are rarely “finished” when they release these days, which makes a weird psycholical impact on me - I feel like waiting, because I want the full experience.
It’s a cool idea, but for me what this adds to the replay ability only works if I save the other two starts for future runs so I will pick one (no idea which yet) and look forward to seeing the others down the road. I think.
I was going to be a ruthless corpo bastard for the laughs, but I’m reconsidering after the PC Gamer article describing how the characters have real heart, just like they did in The Witcher 3. Everyone looks so punchable though, so it’s hard to decide if that’s true.
It’s not like I will have time to play it soon, but I couldn’t resist buying this for 42€ on the Brazilian MS store for my Series X.
Female Molly Millions corpo. ;)
I did that for Dragon Age: Origins. I played through all (6?) of them and then picked the one I wanted to continue.
I think I only got through 2 in DA:O, but yeah, the plan was to do it there, too.

I do! I do! I still have mine from Infocom’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy somewhere. Sadly, the text under the highlighter faded over the years so it is more sentimental than anything else now.
Those hidden ink hint books were so dorky. They are though relics of the age when you did your mapping on graph paper, wrote down the clues to puzzles on scratch paper, and could not just go online and find out everything in an instant.

I’m still fond of the, uh Sierra(?), model of DRM where you had to spin a little codex to match the pictures for the password to install the game.
I’m sad that I missed out on this era of games. That sounds like fun to me.
The only games in which I personally made a map were Star Control 2 (where i mapped Quasispace to which quadrant each portal would lead to), and X: Beyond the Frontier. And X wasn’t a very good game. But I did enjoy the process of making a map myself instead of having an in-game map.
I wish I still had all the notebooks of notes and maps I made of the Ultimas and the Wizardrys and the Might and Magics back in the day, but I’m pretty sure those all got dumped in a move. Would be kind of fun to see how I dealt with that stuff back when I had an attention span.
I’m sure the ''day 0 patch" fixed tons of stuff and the “day 1 patch” will fix a few more, but still… I have the feeling this game is coming ‘hot’ and it will release in a bit more unpolished form than The Witcher 3 did. Let’s see.
Given the constant delays by the devs to “get it polished and perfect” I’m going to be outraged if this is still the case. I am expecting a very, very smooth and polished experience here, and will be annoyed if that is not the case.
After 2020, it takes more than a game to tip my trigger on outrage.
I’ll be a little bummed if it’s messy, but I’d imagine some jank is simply part and parcel of massive, open world games.
I do fondly remember this one. Even though at the time it was a needless pain (and easily cracked).
I may have been using a little bit of hyperbole, I hope that was understood… :)
