In Oblivion I made it a goal to get a copy of every book in the game. Have about 3/4 of them. Also always have a copy of The Lusty Argonian Maid on my character. Why? No clue.
I don't understand why approximately 25% (excaduration) of the population reads that book =)

I play Tales of Symphonia over and over again, and I like to try something new every time. It never gets old somehow and I've done it some 50 times already.

Apparently it is a best seller in Cyrodiil. All the hype with book clubs.

Reload, Dr. Freeman!

OT: In RPG's like Dragon Age where you can't hear your own dialouge, I always say the words myself before clicking. IT gives me a better sense of immersion.

I sometimes play co-op with a friend who feels the need to fire every bullet out of a gun before he switches to another when there aren't any enemies nearby.
I do that. It gets ridiculous when I'm playing Nazi Zombies and I won't switch out my 1911 yet because it's still got a dozen rounds left. I'll keep my shitty guns then switch when I'm completely out.

Capicha: Ranglia applied. Who is Ranglia, and what did they apply for?

Heh what I meant was he will stand there and fire the bullets into the floor/air/corpse reload and keep firing until the gun is dry before he picks up the weapon he wants to swap it with.

Gets a bit annoying when you are just standing about waiting to go.

Hehe I sometimes do that if I know I'll need to switch out soon, but I don't need to shoot every single round.

I used to do this weird SWAT-like up-and-around with the end of my gun in most first-person shooters, I've more or less stopped (can't do it on consoles, so probably excessive Xbox usage has kicked it out), but I remember that was a completely useless aesthetic quirk that I would do around basically every single fucking corner. Eh.

Always reloading.

Also in any Fallout game I always roleplay my second character as a dangerous psychopath with touchy feelings. Any character that insults me in the slightest must die.

Shoot the air.

Jump around, ALL the time.

Ditching quick-travel AND walking/driving normally (Even in Just Cause 2).

Oblivion: I try and pickpocket people I'm going to bump off anyway. Never really understood why I bother, but I do it anyway.

On Crackdown, I used to barricade roads with cars and see how long it took for irate drivers to ram the vehicle ahead enough and cause a massive explosion that wouldn't be my fault.

Reload. Fire a bullet. Reload. Fire a couple more. Reload. Never understood why I do this, but for some reason, as soon as I break contact with an enemy in a shooter, I reload (unless its a game like Battlefield 2 where reloading discards the rest of the magazine). Its especially strange because I do it a lot on BFBC2 with the bolt-action snipers after a single shot; I've started to try and cut down because with guns like the SV-98, its totally unnecessary.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas I hoard ammunition, to the point at which I actually have impractically large quantities of it; my current New Vegas character has around 1,700 12.7mm rounds, yet doesn't possess a weapon for it; maybe I should get Honest Hearts so that I have that rifle...

In fact, in Oblivion, Call of Pripyat and the Fallouts, I have noticed I tend to hoard cash as well; I'll take anything of value I find - to the point at which its impractical to move - so that I can sell it later. As a result, I've ended most of these games with more money than it would cost to buy all items at all the traders.

I have some strange gaming habits...

I shoot damn near everyone I hijack/mug in APB. Why? It becomes a victimless crime then. And anyone who whips out a cell phone.

Sometimes I feel the need to rearrange the bodies after a fight to recreate the perfect battle scene, as if someone would stumble onto the scene and be nonplussed by the whole thing.

a body ontop of the broken table, one behind the counter, one in front of the busted door...

I constantly keep swaping my weapons for no reason at all. Often just to pass time like if I'm walking to an objective or just faffing about. I've also never been asked what I'm doing so I guess no one minds.

I also never use my special weapons/abilities. Could be like on New Vegas where I'd never use the alien blaster if I got it, or mass effect 2 where I actually have to remind myself that I have a heavy weapon on my back. Then there is abilites, I rarely remember to use certain abilities espically in RTS's. Most recent example I guess is prototype where I have so many cool sound abilities and I never use them.

Also a compulsive reloader, and a compulsive saver, which is why L.A. Noire is annoying me as it hasn't got a checkpoint system.
