I've done multiple playthroughs, including two incredibly complete ones. I have well over 300 hours invested into this game. I remember leading up to the release of Phantom Liberty it was said to be a mistake to not make a new V, but in everybody's actual experiences, how true has this statement held to be?

I'm not really all that great at video games, especially FPS. In fact I'm really bad. I have some motor impairment in both of my hands, and it can be quite a frustrating experience.

I basically beat my head against the wall until my character is a stronger bullet sponge, and I can overpower an attribute enough to get me through the game - after about the 1/3rd point I switch to shotguns, blades, or gorilla arms mostly exclusively, and can pretty much steamroll the rest of the game, only dying once or twice in most missions. The early parts of the game where that's not an option, and missions where these techniques aren't as effective, take me so much longer to get through.

I started a new character, but the early parts have been such a slog for me. It took me so many tries to get through the first Maelstrom encounter ffs, and I know that's not a particularly difficult sequence. I find myself doing stupid tasks, like pushing Dex and his driver off of the road, and then into the ocean to avoid to difficult combat sequences. I'm noticing little differences and tweaks though, and I really don't want to miss out.

My question is this, is it still worthwhile to load up my old V, spec him out, and tackle Phantom Liberty? Or am I really missing out by doing so?? If so, would my experience be any worse by doing Phantom Liberty now, and returning to experience the entire 2.x with a new V when I've got a little more patience to relearn the motor patterns for the entire game? I know that sounds silly, but it takes me twice as long to learn motor patterns as other people, and it requires practice to maintain them. I also love video games, but my ability to enjoy them is sometimes complicated.
