Depends on the game. In a lot of RPGs there's the system of random encounters, and when this happens I usually don't escape battles unless if my state of HP/MP/items is too bad. Or if I'm impatient because I'm solving a puzzle.

In the Aveyond games when I come into a new area I usually first try to get into the town first to upgrade my equipment and only then I go back to search around and fight.

*Blinks* This thread was revived from the dead? Wow.

Ugh, random encounters. I do not like those. I can't use the dodge and run method I so enjoy.

In Aveyond I like to level up and kill everything.

Well, not so much in AV2 and AV3 coz we have level cheats, but in AV1 where the most you can get with cheats is level 60-something, I have to kill loads and loads of monsters to get to level 99. I like maxing out my characters' levels!

Or you can buy the exp points in Veldt in Aveyond 1. Usually when you get far enough in the game you have gathered a lot of gold, so spending it there is no problem. It just takes a lot of time pressing the key again and again to actually gain some levelling up because the exp you get there from every session is so little. -_-

Depends on the game. Typically, when I get to a new area with new enemies, I'll fight them as I go through until I get bored of fighting. Then I run through like mad and go to the next area. But in games like "Dawn's Light" where there are only X amount of enemies in the entire game, I have to kill every single one.

you mean good.

I normally fight as little as possible, but note I've only played Aveyond and a handful of demos for homemade games.

However, I'm trying to replay the entire AV series on Expert Mode, so instead I'll be leveling up as much as a possible. It's a bit drastic a change from my normal style, but oh well. More practical.

then i advise you to use the level goodies if you can find them. but i cant show there locations nor tell where to go. sorry.

Oh, I know where they are.

But my thing was this: All games, expert mode, no cheats/goodies. So it would violating my little competition (and a bet with my friend I can't complete AV2 XD) if I used them.

@princessbinas

Please don't advise the use of goodies. They are there if the player wants to use them. Advice should always be strategies, not goodies.

oh sorry. i thought i was helping. im always looking how i could help but if he needs help i think he will ask.

Helping is giving strategies on how to get through an area, or beat a boss, or tips for a puzzle. Helping is not telling them to use goodies.

It's fun to play games with the cheats on though, so you do not have as much to worry about. They are more relaxing. It is fun to be legitimately good at a game though.

lol... D_A... don't lie... you falcon cheat at games worse than I do. ^^

well the only fun part of them is the music and opening chests and pulling levers.

>_> Binas... I don't get what you are talking about...

Pulling levers is fun though

pulling levers and opening chests in goodie caves is what i meant plus the goodie music is catchy.

I can't falcon-cheat in AV1! If I want level 99, I have to work hard >___< The max cheat they can give us is level 60 in AV1.

Aaawwe... poor D_A

hehe... you know, I used to have some software that could live edit ram values (It was used to make halo development trainers), if I could find that again I could maybe make a trainer for AV1

Lvl 99 cheat in AV1? Easy to do for me with a lil rpgxp 'magic'.


more style how I play:
champions in norrath/return to arms - kill everything ask questions later. Sometimes ended up getting squished flat by charging at a way more powerful monster.

Record of Loddoss war- kill everything ask questions later. Got me into quite some trouble when I ended up attacking an ally. Specially if said ally was a dragon that can 1KO you. Fun times.

AP after some rpg2k3 messing - got beaten up by a priestess in white.....

Mass Effect - shoot everything ask questions later. Or bash it in the head. That works too lol.

I am the type of person who loves to level up. If, let's say, there are 40 enemies in a given area (a totally exaggerated scenario), I will go off and kill all of the enemies if possible. The other reason why I do all of this is because I want loot and money...which of course, helps in the long run.

I also love to update equipment as soon as possible - I love buffing up my characters!
