I have one character who is essentially me, a hoarder who has to complete EVERY task....then I have a couple of characters who have blinkers on and a very narrow path to follow. This means when I start the game I either do it all, or play to a specification...
I find it really helps to have 3 or 4 backup characters, with radical motivations, to inspire me.
Add in an ongoing character build or two and that's enough to flick between to stop me getting bored, and enough diversity to entertain.
