In-Game Hoarding Addiction

[Kotaro]

I'm sort of a hoarder. Well, half of one.
I'll only pick something up if I have some use for it, but I rarely sell things (since I've sold stuff before that I ended up needing later*).

*Like the Moldy Bread in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It was a worthless item, but there was only one in the entire game, and you would need it later if you wanted the Poison Sword.

in MMO,s I pickup EVERYTHING to sell to a NPC later on.

I hoarde like mad. When I have bouts of being a reasonable person, I'll sell all of my multiples, but I like to keep at least one of nearly everything. I get sentimental- I take the view that my character is collecting these things as souvenirs, as though she will look at them later and say to herself- "Oh, remember that time I murdered those 20 scary rats and found this fragment of semi-precious stone lodged in the throat of one? Wow, I can't believe I actually pulled that out!"

In Fallout 3/NV I hoard chems, stimpacks, food, basically anything in the aid category.

On my first playthrough of 3, I also kept trophies. At least one example of the armor/weapons of everything I killed. I even downloaded mannequins to show it all off.

Hoarding is subjective, but I've been known to spend hours on end organizing an in game library on Oblivion. In fact, one of the cruelest practical jokes I've ever had played on me was coming back to a home that my friend had shot up with magical spells.

I hoard ammo,but when I sense that the end of the game is near,and I have 2000 rounds for each of my guns and 20 grenades,I let loose and fire away.

YOu can thank Stalker for teaching me how to conserve ammo AND spend it wildly while remaining somewhat useful at the same time.

In fallout 3 in one run I'd just collect teddy bears, toy cars, nuka cola trucks and something else I forget; just because I thought it was fun.

However on fallout 3 and NV I always collect items that are unique (like weapons and armour) and then store them away or collect items to put around my house (got a few bags of flour, a deathclaw egg and those special nukas lying in my kitchen). I also try to get one of each food and drink and put it in the fridge and 1 of each weapon and armour just incase I ever get bored and try and kill everything with a straight razor. Guess it's a little odd.

Spoiler: This is me in every game ever.

I horde ammo, guns, and health packs like crazy on any game that allows you too.

"I'll use it later!"
-later comes-
"I'll use it later"

I have a hard time selling stuff.

Same here.
"I'll save it for something tougher."
"Not tough enough."
"That big enemy is going to need a lot to take down."
At the end of the game, I'm sitting on a pile of things that I swore I was going to use later. Later never came.

I tend to hoard what I find, but I don't generally go out of my way looking for knickknacks unless I need them for something or there's some sort of benefit to collecting all of them (achievements are not on their own sufficient benefit unless they're relatively easy.) If I need to make space, I prefer to convert or craft rather than sell, though I certainly will sell if I know I can get more of it.

I gather anything that I think would look cool somewhere, and sift through it later to decorate. Everything else gets sold for change or stored in some back container. In Oblivion, I would go out of my way to steal any item with a shine to it and filled a room with the shinies for shiggles.

I do know one guy though who is an extreme collector, going out of his way to gather anything unique or different. In WoW his bank and completely full and half of his inventory is taken up by items because they are neat looking or unobtainable any more.

I fill my inventory with anything and swap items out for more valuable items as I go.
