Leapfrogging basically means going to a very difficult part of the game early on, finishing that part first with great perseverance, gaining all the rewards, and only then getting on with the rest of the game with much more ease.
Examples include:
1) Blowing up the military base in Fallout as a level 4 character before returning the waterchip - gives you 4 levels worth of experience.
2) The 2.5-year old Let's Play of Betrayal At Krondor in this forum, where I did all the latter game quests and dungeons in the first Chapter itself, and then easily sped through the following chapter with a powerful tank of a party.
3) Finishing some major Dark Side quests in World of Xeen before coming to the Cloud side.
Do you leapfrog? Do you enjoy it? Which game has the best chance to leapfrog?
