Whatever the highest setting available upon starting the game for the first time is. If Hardcore/Insanity are locked, I'm thinking about making my first playthrough one where I don't level up, but I also want to get a feel for how the profile system works.

As difficult as it'll let me go on a first play through.

Normal usually. Might bump it up to harder modes in New Game Plus though.

Normal to start with. I'm more interested in the story than difficulty, but I don't want to just blow through everything either. I'll save the hard stuff for MP where story doesn't mean anything anyway.

Casual to start, so I can get a feel for the combat without feeling frustrated. I'll likely up the difficulty to normal a few hours in though. I might play on hardcore at some point, but... it depends. Usually normal is enough of a challenge for me.

Casual. I play for story, and combat in these kind of games is not my strong point. Especially since I developed tendonitis in my right elbow and wrist a few years back. If I want a challenge, I look to puzzles and stealth oriented games and aim for full ghost plays. Still, I found narrative to be too easy even for me on ME3, so Casual is a nice balance of engaging without being too stressful. I may do narrative to save time on later replays, though.

I always at least start my first playthrough in Normal mode, or rather, whatever the developer sets as the default. It's very likely that I'll also finish on that same level as well... but I always leave myself open to changing it if I'm really finding it too easy or too difficult. With Mass Effect, my second playthrough was on Insanity (by passing any of the difficulty levels between normal and insanity.

First playthrough is going to be casual.
Second time around it's going to be normal.
Veteran I'm saving for last.

Hardest possible. I feel like everything is better when I earn it. I don't want the action to just be a minor inconvinience inbetween me seeing the story, I want the combat to be challenging so I earn the next part of the story.

Causal, like a lot of other posters I play for the story and to relax. I get no enjoyment out of being frustrated by game play when I just want to get to the next story element.

Always select the hardest, what are you... some kind of filthy casual? j/k, I got in to this habit back in the old achievement hunting days. Get all the "complete the game on this difficulty or that difficulty" achievements in one run. Now, I just like the enemies to be challenging. Not much fun just blasting through them with no effort at all.

Normal so I can have a good balance of story and gameplay. Will increase the difficulty on later playthroughs probably.

I will try it on Normal at first. If is too hard then I will switch to Casual and if it's too easy then I'll switch to Hardcore. So I will start the game off in middle as far a difficulties go.

Veteran to expierence the story while having a bit of a challenge. One hardcore and/or insanity just to say I did. Then any future playthroughs on the lowest setting because I'm just wanting to expierence the story again.

Normal first, if the game is too easy it breaks my immersion I will flexibly change the difficulty on the go if the game proves to be challenging or easy.

The highest availble. ME1 Insanity was the only actually hard difficulty in the franchise, then it was just easy all the way. I don't expect MEA to be any harder than ME3. Besides, when you play MP for a bit you will crush the SP with a thumb up your arse.

I don't want the action to just be a minor inconvinience inbetween me seeing the story, I want the combat to be challenging so I earn the next part of the story. Yeah I also feel like "earning" moving forward. The old me would start with Normal but I think the new me starts with Veteran.
