Strange In-Game Habits/Compulsions

I horde things; in Fallout 3 I had so many toasters after a while that it was just ridiculous. Everything just seemed to important which caused me to have more parts for weapons then i would ever need. Needless to say, I was over-encumbered quite a lot.
I hoard everything I can and conserve ammo no matter how much I have. In Final Fantasy games I tend to finish with every Megalixir in the game still in my inventory. In Fallout 2 I was always shuffling items around, selling odds and ends to make room in the trunk for more nifty things I found that I'd never use... in newer Fallout games, well, one of my characters has over five hundred bent tin cans.
Probably spending way to much time in customisation, and trying to open every single chest I find, no matter how many enemies are around it or whether I can take them. I must find out what is in it, just in case it's awesome
I feel like this is turning into a support group for compulsive reloaders, and I'm ok with that. I thought I was all alone out there. Every time I happen to kill somebody with the very last bullet in my clip it just serves to reinforce the habit.
Oh man, is there anything worse than watching somebody play who doesn't share your compulsion? "hey, you might wanna' throw a new clip in before you turn the corner...just sayin'." "Yo, grab a fresh clip." "why don't you go in there with a full--..... you know what, I'm going to go get a sandwich"

OT: my character customization has to be perfect, if there is any. I will purposely pick the most badass race for the least suitable class if it looks cool. Go orc mage! Use your one fireball spell, run out of mana instantly and decide to just punch it to death! Even if it is a tentacle bear!
Yeah, since two of my most played games (TF2 and Fallout 3) need those buttons to do anything, every game will have me hitting those buttons.ThePirateMan said:
This. I tired going through the cult temple in dragon's age with only 20 inventory slots. Yet I still looked EVERYWHEREDirty Hipsters said:

I always try out sniping in any FPS. No matter how it's designed, I have to try to snipe at least once before moving on.
In ASII/Brotherhood, every archer had to die. EVERY SINGLE ONE. And I always had to have full items.
In strategy games, I work my opponent down to where they can do nothing, and build up a HUGE army just to wipe out a single standing building. I actually get sad when they surrender.
On most MechWarrior games, I do everything I can to max out armor. Unless it's an Urbanmech, in which case it is equipped with as many missiles as it can carry.
In sandbox games, I get to the highest point possible and jump off. Then, I max out an enemy attention rating and see how long I can last.
I go for the melee kill more times than I should...if only to save ammo
I hoard items. I won't use my 200 health potions, because a boss might be around the next corner. I won't throw a grenade at the ten soldiers, I could be fighting a tank soon.
I always loot every last crate, barrel, and sack in the Imperial city in Oblivion even though the best I've every gotten from it in any playthrough is a few grains of rice.
In 3D Zeldas, I roll everwhere I go. Roll out! Roll out!
More Oblivion: I collect mementos (like Mother's head) and decorate a safehouse room with them.

In horror games I always close doors behind me. If a door is open, it wasn't me who opened it.
This really freaked me out in the game Condemned Criminal Origins as there is a door scripted to open itself. I kept coming back to the room to find it open. So I close it and wait in the corner expecting a mob or something to make rounds through. It opens by itself and I hear something like, "I prefer it open" whispered.

i search EVERYWHERE. If a take road A and it takes more than 3 rooms away from route B and C i have to turn around and check those out first, there may be a clip of ammo i will never need because i don't use the weapon but i just have to have it.
also compulsive reloading
and in stealth games i save, clean a whole room of enemies and if the last guy spots me a nanosecond before i take him out i rage-quickload and have to do the whole thing again because for some reason i don't save when things go well.
while i tend to be an indifferent asshole towards the vast majority of RPG-population i can't help but be nice to my companions, even the weird ones i wouldn't invite to a party. On that note: i would much rather have a party of characters i like than based on their skillset, even if that mean my party will lack a certain skill

Potions.
Well, potions and the like.
If there's an item that might come in handy later, I'll save it for forever.
Even if the time comes that the item would actually be useful, I won't use it, because it might come in handier later.
Also, if the arrow says to go right, I go left.

I talk to the game characters. I tell them everything i want to say to them that my character is too mute to say him or herself.
Especially in Phantasy Star Portable 2. The inability to ***** out partner characters in that game is sadly lacking.

I restart from checkpoints every time I feel as if I didn't do a section of the game well enough; I took too much damage, wasted too much ammo etc. If I can't restart from checkpoints, force suicide.
