@bkrueger;.. I take my hat off to you… Third playthrough already… I've recently finished a very thorough first playthrough. Very enjoyable. However, I spent so much time exploring every nook and cranny, that I think I will need to wait for quite a while before a second playthrough. Give myself time to forget everything…
Which at my age, shouldn't take long…
Here's hoping for an Elex 3 sooner rather than later…..
I have to admit, that I have 245 hours in Elex 2 right now…
The first two play throughs are a kind of routine for me: I play every game on normal difficulty first and make a new play through on highest difficulty, when I like the game.
The third play through was mainly motivated by Corwin's robot question, but I also learned in my second playthrough that the main quests change slightly depending on the ally you choose. So you have only seen all important content, after trying the three main allies (Berserks, Morkons, Albs). And there are three romance options (at least to my knowledge or are there even more?), so if you want them all….
Edit: I take more time for every game than most people on the watch seem to do. I don't have that "backlog" problem people are constantly talking about. I have no ambition to play every new game, so no backlog exists. When I like to play a game, I look for one, which I might like, and play it. And I rather play a game, which I love, three times than playing three games in the same time and finding that I only like one of them…
I even replay older games like Spellforce or Might and Magic VI once a year rather than trying every new game.
Edit 2: Of course I also hope that either Elex 3 or some kind of expansion/add on for Elex 2 comes soon. There are enough open ends for this….I still want to kill Adam. By the way I always forget, where to find all 16 map pieces, so that alone would justify a new playthrough at any time...In an add on they could add some in game hints how to find them...
