Topic: Let's say that you have died...

As everything blacks out around you, the credits of your life roll, showing the names of everyone that has played a part in your life, and playing all of your favorite songs. Once the credits end, the words "GAME OVER" flashes on the screen. Three options appear below the GAME OVER sign.

1. New Game (reincarnate as an entirely new person, with no knowledge of your past life)
2. New Game+ (reincarnate as yourself and go back through your life, but this time you start with all of the knowledge of what you went through before and what you have learned. While you can change the outcomes of events that affect you personally, you couldn't do anything to change large scale events such as who won an election or 9/11 or anything like that)
3. Quit (You disappear forever)

Which one would you choose?

The city of Townsville... is entirely mine!

Quit. Life is nice but reliving it again would be tedious. Like watching that movie groundhog's day with Bill Murray.

hmmm if i add a strategicly placed comma the whole sentance changes:

Like watching that movie groundhog's day, with Bill Murray.

Now you get the impression hes watching it with me and he just wont shutup.

Man, what kind of sucky ass game doesn't have a save point to respawn at? I would TOTALLY just hit continue, there's gotta be a checkpoint near where I died. With that in mind, I'd just go back to where I was killed before, then totally dodge whatever killed me and get my revenge.

No continue feature? Fuck that, I won't play a game where I can lose two hours of progress to a bit of bad luck. Having to restart from the beginning? Bah!

Them's some pretty shitty options. Replay your life, go directly to oblivion, go play another life with no memory of this one...might as well be oblivion.

New game + would be fun...

It'd freak people out, talking the day after you're born and such.

I think if anyone picked new game+ they'd end up taking over the world, so that's the one I'd pick. It would just be a bitch going through circumcision again! Ho ho ho

As tempting as New Game + sounds, I might go for plain old New Game.

Exactly!

I would love to see what life could be like with a better family. If it was just another dysfuntional group of freaks I wouldn't want to be on that ride.

New Game+ would be neat.

Continue Game/Reload from a save would be better.

New Game +.

Now that I know what happens when I die, I'll keep going back and trying different things with my life. All the while, getting smarter and better able to deal with what's coming. And best of all, if I totally mess up, I can just do another New Game +.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

It's not an option but reincarnating as a new person but retaining the knowledge you have would be coolest.

New game+ and not be confused at character customization this time around.
