Personal Preferences

[ajb1978]

Prompted by the most recent Milton Mailbag, I'm creating this survey to gather information regarding player preferences in non-Story mode games.

Explaining my own answers...
Favorite region: coastal highway.  Good hunting, ample fishing, beachcombing, ridiculous amounts of coal, and a forge a half day's walk away.
Preferred Experience: Custom.  I like to crank loot tables to the maximum, hostile wildlife but high wolf fear, and 4x time dilation.
Favorite Challenge Mode: The Hunted, Part One.  I can escape the bear no problem, but the real challenge is how fast can I do it.  I love trying to speed run that challenge.

Region: Timber Wolf Mountain.  I find myself always gravitating toward this area, in part due to the loot potential but also I find that the region has a great balance of features.
Experience: Voyager.  I'm not what I consider to be an advanced player yet.  My current goal is to work through each difficulty until I attain a 500 day run before moving on the next level.  I don't get to play as much as I would like, so it's taking me a long time.  
Challenge: The Hunted, Part II.  This one was a hard pick... I actually really love all of the challenges, but I did enjoy when the tables turned and I got to take the fight to the Old Bear.

I wish you had put a 4th question up- least favorite region. I'll take the frozen wasteland of HRV over the frozen wet hellscape that is FM, any day. 

Region: Desolation Point. Most underappreciated region in the game, IMHO. But I love it. Dearly.
Experience Mode: Stalker, for serious runs (though I use Pilgrim and Voyageur for testing things, and Voyageur sometimes for more relaxed runs.) Haven't yet found a Custom Settings combo that works well for me, yet. 
Challenge: Whiteout. Looting like mad (an aRPG fan's dream...), and dealing with the QGS... and never the same two times in a row. Love trying to beat my own time to get stocked up quicker if I can.

Can't!  I can only have 3 questions per survey

Feel free to start your own though!

#1 I really couldn't recall a "most time in area" (by choice).  I tend to move around a lot.  I really like TWM because of all the mountains...
