in RPGs my obsession is to pick up small meaningless items, promising myself i would sell them at a later time, alas i do not and they end up taking bag space.
Strange In-Game Habits/Compulsions

Steal.
Everything.
Always end up with crates full of shit that I probably don't need later on, but GOD FUCKING HELP ME if you get between me and that fission battery I will fucking end you. I might need that shit to make a bomb or a nuclear powered dildo suit or something, I don't know!

If I'm playing New Vegas and there are several locations in a given area, I'll try to discover them before continuing on. That, and cleaning the red ticks off my compass. Is that a Fiend off in the distance? Not if my AM Rifle has something to say about it!
Minecraft: Always close the door behind me, make sure my chests are NEAT UND TIDY, and always keep the torches on the right! I also mine whatever ore vein I see, and I get pissed off if I can't get to it, don't have a pick/the right pick, and seeing uneven patches of water makes my teeth itch when I see it (You know what I mean).

Can't read through 7 pages to check if anyone else does this, but in shooters, backing up against a corner, then swinging the gun up and around as I progress, SWAT-style, has long been a compulsion of mine. It doesn't provide any tactical advantage and in same cases it actually becomes a burden.
But it looks cool from my end, so eh.

If ever theres fog of war, unrevealed territory or litteraly anything not visible on my map that shit has to be explored. To the point where i sometimes drag out singleplayer RTS maps for more than 30-40 min just to try and squeeze my units closer to a cliffwall and get that extra little view.
Hm...
- I save constantly. Quick saving does not count, and neither do auto-saves. It has to be a proper, God-fearing save.
- Unless the appropriate path is clear, I always explore to the right first.
- If the game permits it, I always shut doors behind me, as though NPCs might feel the draft.
- Oblivion turned me into an obsessive kleptomaniac. I find it hard to leave ANYTHING, no matter how worthless.
- I take usually 45 minutes to an hour to make a new character for a game. It came as a shock on ME2 when I just loaded my old Shepherd in and started playing straight away.
- As someone else said, I too am a jump-button-spammer, which is what happens when you first play a Khajiit in Oblivion.

Damn, I'm guilty of the same things! The level thing slightly different tho, I need to keep playing until my level is an even number.Ephraim J. Witchwood said:If my character doesn't look good, I can't play the game.
I have to be a female character, at least for the first playthrough. It feels weird otherwise.
In RPGs, my level must end in a zero or a five. I don't stop playing until it does.
WHY THE FUCK IS MY INVENTORY OUT OF ORDER?! MUST DOWNLOAD A SORTER, NOW!
I think that sums it up.
On the character thing, it's not uncommon for my first gaming session in an rpg to consist of 1 hour of character creation and less than half an hour of actually playing. Two worlds shocked me with how little I could do to my character so I've been staying away from it for a while, until I have absolutely nothing else to play.
Also, I also do a good karma run on the first playthrough almost every time as well, despite a certain tendency towards kleptomania and hoarding (Organized hoarding tho!).
In games like Fallout 3 or Oblivion, i would always decoraate my house with armour, items, everything. Even though I knew nobody would look at them =(
I beat every NPC I can during cutscenes. I don't know how many times I've ruined things çaused I've smacked someone I shouldn't have. I also break windows. I spent hours in Fable sniping windows, running away then returning once I was no longer wanted so I could finish the town.
Overly concern with ammo conservation. Even when i am over flowing with the ammo i use all the time. I just cant bring myself to spray and pray.

I have never understood why tea-bagging a defeated opponent is so gratifying.
It's like "I'm so hyped up and ecstatic he's dead that I think I'll rub my nuts on his face"
What?
OT: Single bullet of weapon closest to handgun I have.
[small][small][small][small]Double-tap is always worth it[/small][/small][/small][/small]
EDIT: Also, I loot all copper from every corpse in WoW. Thus, my fortune is slowly amassed!

I didn't do it for D.C. but when i first trekked to the top of the Vault 33 Hill on the outskirts of Vegas in the middle of the night and saw it shining like a beacon in the darkness.......dayum.Vault Girl said:I comI know right? i do that in most sandbox games too. Walking over a ridge in Fallout to see the husks of D.C is something i'll never tire of. Used to do it loads in San Andreas.Caligulove said:

Not FPS or sandbox game like the rest of them, but in party building games, the majority of my part must be male. My friend noticed this when we tried to play through Pokemon Gold together, battling after every gym.
Him: Why are all your pokemon Male?
Me: .....
Luckily he wasn't smart enough to give any of his girls attract. I just like the male symbol better. It's like a sword if you tilt your head right...

I have to pick up everything i come past, in Dead Space 2 for instance everything enemies drop i pick up, even if i dont have the gun the ammo is for. Also i destroy every red barrel i see, more for safety though cause i know the magical bullet from nowhere hits it right when im standing next to it in the middle of a firefight.
And yes, im a compulsive reloader, even if one bullet is missing, must reload, MUST HAVE FULL MAG. And in BF2 for instance, with mag counting instead of total bullets, it kills me cause i see the 25/30 ammo count for my current mag and it just bugs the hell out of me.

Compulsive reloader here.
In Minecraft and the Source engine games, if there is a door, it must be shut after me going through it. It just has to be.
I also love the QTE kills that look awesome. I used to run up to the enemy in From Russia With Love, just to see Sean Connery beat the shit out of someone. The good thing is that other enemies won't shoot while you're beating someone up.

I:
- Level grind up to the nearest level ending in 0 or 5 before starting a new area in an RPG.
- Never sell any weapon or armour until the end game because there might be something that I need to trade these things for.
- MUST be at full health at all times. I take the Medic role into my own hands in Final Fantasy XIII. Those idiots never heal to full health...
- Heal magically before using items.
- Run everywhere.
- Break everything.
- Save twice in a row.
- Kill everything.
- Jump all the time.
- Go the obviously wrong way for items and experience.
- Never spend money because I'll probably find better equipment in the next dungeon, anyway.
- Keep all of my characters (if there are multiple ones) at around the same level. What if I'm forced to use them in the near future?
- Rest my left hand on the WASD keys on my computer keyboard, even if the game doesn't use them.
- Dodge everywhere instead of running during a fight.
- Take every item possible; I hate games with inventory restrictions because of this.
- Save Scum like a madman.
- Need my character to be able to do EVERYTHING, if it is available to him. This is really bad in Dragon Age, I which I have to decide upon a specific build.
I've, thankfully, avoided becoming a compulsive reloader by having my TF2 set so that, if I'm not firing, it automatically reloads for me. I'm also a firm believer of practicality over aesthetics, so I probably won't succumb to the habit of wearing the better looking armour, even if it's worse.
