I am a rabid hoarder on any game. Most recently, Borderlands. I collect and sell everything I possibly can even though, as my friend constantly tells me, the money is useless. I have way past 4 billion in spare change on there, as well as about 30 different guns of varying rarity including a Tediore Defender with the Carnage mod which is a fairly rare spawn.

Oblivion I legitimately stockpiled a chest that takes about 2 minutes to even load the contents and has about 40 sets of all armours as well as having well over 2 million gold.

Fallout has a couple of storage units with similar stories to Oblivion. Everything is in there including every mini nuke I ever came across and 20 spare of every weapon I use in case I need to repair something.

I find myself stockpiling ammunition due to that nagging thought about needing it for a tough fight later on...

I think Yahtzee covered this during the start of his Mercenaries 2 review.

Edit: Hey, I was right! I can still reference ZP accurately!

Hell yes, in reality and in games.

My weapon stockpile in Oblivion is enough to kill someone with it's weight alone, and it takes me a solid minute to scroll past my keys.

But I'll never run out of arrows...
In relevance to the keys thing: there's a keyring mod, so it'll be like in fallout 3 where keys don't clog up your inventory. Can't be bothered linking now, unless you ask.

Yeah I do this all the time, I just can't help it. Though I'm making concious effort as of late to correct it (buy kicking ass and blowing up shit as much as possible).

My stockpile has recently been used to supply the MSF. Seriously, I wish there was a game where for a certain boss or event you have to USE everything you've stored up. Like a war in fallout and you get 5 NPC's to help and you can divide all weapons and ammunition evenly and go all out until the last shell drops. Epicgasm... Somebody get on that right away!

I have the same problem in Fallout 3. I save all my weapons and cool stuff and never really used the mini nuke because I didn't want to waste it all.

I did similar on fallout, but stockpiled every weapom i ever found. In fact hidden in that draw in my megaton shack was atleast 3 fatmen 40 chinese assault riffles 5+ sets of power armour somewhere near a 100 mines about the same in grenades. I had at least 10 copies of every other weapon, 2 alein death rays. Also ever special weaponin the game.

Yeah i generaly horde enough weapons to launch a invasion of the world.

Sadly I don't have the game for PC, so modding it wouldn't work.

Curse you five year old computer!

Nope, I only keep what I need and occationally suffer for it when I need a gun I just don't have.

I am a huge hoarder.

In oblivion, I was an alchemist (most fun bit of the darn game). I had so many potions. I never drank one. Just kept brewing those potions....never sold them. You never know when there might be a giant scary demon that requires me to drink several dozen shields, night visions, burdens, feathers, heals, stat boosts, light self on fires.

In fallout 3, I had a pile of every mini nuke I ever found. And every pre-war money. I felt so devious when my apartment was dominated by the giant money pile.

I use every shot in my gun but I use them affectively one shot one kill and i loot every corps if my best friend dies i would loot his crops straight away even if everyone is watching so even because I don't horde guns and bullets I end up with enough bullets to make a castle out of (hhm a castle made of bullets)

I don't waste my bullets, but I'm not opposed to putting them in someone.

Well, if you count Oblivion, yes, I stockpile weapons.

I had over 100 full sets of Daedric armor in my house (not even in cupboards, just a big jumbled pile).
I also had hundreds of each Daedric weapon, at least 4 dozen sets of glass armor, and enough arrows to kill everyone in the game at least 10 times over.
All the non-daedric weapons I stockpiled in an empty room upstairs, all neatly arranged.
Not only that, I even kept items I couldn't use! Axes, warhammers, and the lot...

Come to think of it, had I sold it all, I'd easily have over 20mil coins in that game...

EDIT: Damn, ninja'd!
have you considered that me and you make a castle out of bullets, armour, arrows and weapons.

Not really, if a gun is unique I might, but usually I sell or use everything I get simply because I've learnt the hard way of finishing games with 10/10 pseudo-bfg ammo.

That said, in Far Cry I hoarded sniper ammo and then was rewarded with the level before the trigens where you can snipe about two dozen soldiers with impunity.

I don't stockpile-I just aim well. Shooting someone in the head once than 3 times in the body saves bullets, but this usually isn't nessecary-the fallen bad guys guns will always have more bullets for the taking in them than what you shot them with.

Also, I use the tools that's right for the job. If I encounter a boss, I use my best weapons-That's what they're there for. Not using your best weapons against the most powerful enemy you have encountered thus far is just silly.

I NEVER use items at all in Fallout 3. Good sneaking skills and strategic use of VATS is all I need. I also don't leave an area until I pick up every single item. It takes 5 minutes to scroll through my mailbox, and I once waddled all the way to Springvale from the Statesman Hotel carrying about 3000 pounds of junk.

I do stockpile but I won't purposely make the game harder for the sake of a couple of shotgun shells etc.
Like if I'm playing fallout3 and there's a whole bunch of guys coming at me, I wont go out of my way to batter them to death with some club based weapon... I'll pull out my shotgun or whatever.
But then I won't use it on a molerat.

As others have said, my houses in Fallout3/oblivion/similar are stocked to the brim with weapons/armour/ammo

Though my char usually travels light with a few select instruments of death bringing.
