not one single enemy lives if I can help it, and in shooters I tend to keep my ammo count equivalent to a whole number of magazines, although I've been doing that less

In shooters, its OCD reloading for me. Often to my own demise in multiplayer, but I reload not only after a kill, but if I haven't finished someone, I'll reload before breaking cover.
With RPG's, it SHOPPING. I practically memorize inventories of shopkeepers before I'll head back out. I compare each and every stat and damage type to my own to find the next best thing, or to see if somehow the Holy Grail suddenly became available for purchase while I've been away.

This. I can never just throw anything away. No matter how useless or broken it is, either because "It might be useful at some point" or "It looks nice". I have several World of warcraft characters dedicated to storing spare equipment...TestECull said:

In RPGs i hoard consumable stuff that MIGHT be useful some day, like for instance a potion that gives fire resistance, and never use them because i either forget about them in the bloated inventory, or save them for the next time they might come useful, time and time again.
in any game that will let me, i must run around in the smallest circle imaginable so it looks like i'm twirling. i have no idea why
Killing people when their backs are turned. I always have to sneak up behind them and stab/shoot/cut/necksnap them from behind just for fun.
Probably not that uncommon, but i in a hack and slash i have to smash absolutely everything before i leave an area, vases are not safe in my presents.
This relates strictly to RTS games, but I will actively build an army that is 10x the size it needs to be for the current task. I'll defend against wave after wave of assault until my Force is the size I want, even if i have to defend the base with my mass, only to repair damaged units and then Rebuild. EVERY RTS...even simple Tower Games like Comet Crash get the same treatment...
I save scum like a crazy person. If a fight doesn't go just right, or if I waste too much ammo, I replay that section over again. In Bioshock, for example, I had the max of every single item by the end of the game. Every time I almost use a really powerful item, I always say "well, I might need it later."
Used a single bullet in a FPS, gotta reload... to many bad experiances when I didn't have full amo and it would have been the perfect time for it... so now I make sure I have full ammo in the clip.... in multiplayer it usually kills me too.
That and I'm very... anal for the lack of a better term... about everything being in it's proper order (a good example would be in DDO when I am Epic Seal and Scroll farming, any new stuff I find has to go in the order of where it came from, Demon Sands, then Vault of Night etc...)
Oh and I'm like Bigdode in RTS'es.... I played against a friend in Red Alert 2 on one of the biggest maps in the offical game, and he kept trying to take out my starting base with Black Hawks.... so I built 80 IFV's to defend, along with strategic parriot missle systems in case they somehow got destroyed. Anyway by the end of it I had 60 prism tanks, 50 apoc tanks, 70 ifv's (he destroyed a few), 30 harriers, and a bunch of rhino tanks/gizzly tanks... it was a burtal take down... he never plays aginst me again

Unless it's completely impossible, I always respect traffic laws in driving games. (Only the speed limit is exempt.) That's how I discovered the AI isn't prepared to react to you waiting on a red light before GTAIV forced you to queue up to pay the toll.
I also tend to prefer ugly cars to awesome supercars. That's one of my main beefs with GTAIV, since the realistic driving meant you can't use the expy of a Geometro to complete half the missions in the game.

Lol, me too. By the end of the game I had enough guns to take on the commies myself. That said, Liberty Prime wouldn't be a bad ally.GiglameshSoulEater said:
BETTER DEAD THAN RED!!!
In open world crime games (GTA, Saints Row, Mafia 2, Red Dead Redemption, games of that nature) I must always create numerous incidents that would, normally, result in a country-wide kill-on-sight manhunt before doing anything of value to the story.
Seriously, first thing I did on Saints Row 2? Find the police station, saunter in, and casually massacre them all before running out, killing more who'd arrived on the scene, jacking a cop car and going on an insane high speed chase of death through the city until I was finally brought down by the missiles fired from a police attack chopper.

in games like wow where there are herds of animals like rhinos. i will kill all the adult rhinos and leave the calfs alone. to wonder the plains and eventually starve to death.
also if there is player customisation i always seem to make a character with red hair

Same here, the fireflies must be FREE! Also for me it's deliberately causing NPC's to fight against each other, such as pissing off a horde of muties in fallout and making them follow me into a brotherhood camp, only to use a stealth boy and watch the chaos unfoldLogan55689 said:
