Brand new dialogue options may open up to you. You can enjoy their witty banter and feel confident in the fact that they'll be on your side in any argument. When your party loves you, all is right with the world. Then you're just going to have to go back to square one. Soldier on toward that 'New Game' option and rejoice in your new decision…until you realize you're not quite happy with playing the role of a biotic. And in games where you don't have the luxury of choosing to step into the shoes of someone else, thank your lucky stars that those titles usually don't require a different style of play with their boilerplate character options. Because there's nothing worse than being forced to play a game as a character or class you aren't comfortable with. Rather than letting the game drag along in mediocrity, all the while being dissatisfied with the choice you made in the beginning, the decision to start over is staring you in the face. You're hankering for a fire-type Pokémon, but went with your gut and chose a water one instead. Maybe the Rogue class in Diablo just isn't doing it for you.

I have a feeling you'll be nodding your head in agreement. But what compels us to begin from a blank slate? Here are the top five reasons I've found that inspire us to put our current game to pasture and start anew. And that's okay! A fresh restart is certainly warranted when you feel like you just can't go on. Sometimes you just need to bust out a brand new game.

You can get out of any dodgy situation with that sucker.
