How do you play? (restarter disease and wiki syndrome)

In BG and any RPG games... It is only me or anyone else start 2, 3 sometimes 4 characters and play them for a few levels to choose one for the first playthrough? (in BG2 i did first dungeon 4 times before chose to play a stalker)(skyrim i did about 12 different builds)
Not only that, sometimes in the middle of the playthrough i feel that another class or build will be more satisfying so i start all over again!
And also, before i start a game, i read a lot about classes and builds, to know what im doing... and during a playthrough i read a lot, pause the game before distribute a point to see best options...
And all that is the real fun for me, just chose 1 class and go all the way is not very fun, i need to play with options...
I spend much more time in foruns/wikis and attribute/build screens than actualy playing the game!

I'm quite proud that my current run actually started in Candlekeep, and is still going in Sendai's enclave, with only a *mild* flirtation with a Cavalier along the way. (He's waiting at the Friendly Arm Inn for me.)

See this thread for more details. Sadly medical science has no reliable cure, but at least you can see that you are far from alone.
As for myself, I resist the temptation to restart by using a variety of different NPCs over the course of a game. Why do I need to play different characters with Charname when there is so much variety amongst my companions?
The strage thing is that we are all aware that any build, in any game, shines above lvl 10, and still we keep testing builds inside irenicus dungeon... same with other games...
I was playing dragon age 2 this week, trying to see what build is more fun for a solo play, and i did act 1 with 3 different chars... i hope to finish the game with my blood mage now.
And so I never finish a game, because I never stop playing it! I cannot say how many times I have scoured a map for some hidden...thing. Something tucked away - perhaps an initial or two? Ponder the meaning of "why did they put that here?" and so on.
Yes, I have a watch problem too.
I think I would have a watch problem as well...
I do have a problem with finishing games though because as I get to the end I get too lazy to buff for fights and try to win without them then I get frustrated when I wipe 10 times because Draconis and Abazigal etc. are nuts with SCS on insane difficulty and just one shot my guys. Sendai took me like 5 tries this time too and thats a long fight... The second to last try I won (while using 2-3 charges of rod of ressurection) but found out the fight was bugged with SCS and could only be beaten by using mind flayer form... My only mage with shapeshift memorized no longer had a timestop left and ended up getting chunked trying to melee her and I had to start over again. Ended up somewhat cheesing it with spike traps and pre summoned elemental princes and hexxat set up to immediately backstab the second mage statue
