I once decided to get my characters in Tales of Symphonia (and later Vesperia) to somewhere near the 100s for some of the endgame content. I gave up quickly and decided to wait until I could buy the 10x XP perk from the grade shop...

I've been playing a lot of Oblivion lately. I have been collecting many of the books i find in the game, and i've just spent the last hour stacking my collection of books onto the shelves of my house (it became a hell of a lot easier when i discovered a mod for placing books).

What is something obsessive compulsive you have done in a game?
Just books? Hah, grasshopper x3
I mean that in the comedy sense by the way. :p


Redecorating EVERY HOUSE I OWNED by hand. Yes, this includes books, armor, candles, fruit on bowls, display of jewelry properly along with the display of unique items or hard to obtain items. I have no clue WHY I do it. I do know that Ra'virr in Balmora has been paying a dear, dear price to let me use his smithy haha.

And I have the same in Oblivion. In morrowind I just murdered the tenant and 'claimed' it as my house, including the lock & open spells.

I search literally every inch of every room I ever enter in any game just for items.

And in Fallout 3 I looted EVERYTHING (That Fawkes and I could carry). Then sold it all.

Whenever playing in a multiplayer shooter, i reload after every kill, gets me killed no end of times. Also have a habit of quick changing while running around. Also gets me killed alot.

For a short period of time, I would play Animal Crossing every day. There were no weeds in my town ever, and if I missed a special event such as a flea market, I would pretty much emotionally break down.

And that children, is what Animal Crossing does to you.
All these, and the fact that in any game that has an inventory, I'll keep it as empty as possible. Like, in WoW, I only use 3 slots: Health Potion, Mana Potion and Hearthstone.

Compulsive reloading, ho!

A quirk I have in FPS's is spin around once every 40 seconds or so, to clear out my tunnel vision. If a Spy is about to backstab me, so by god I will throw some metal in him first.

In Fable 2 I am on a quest to not only own every house and business in the game, but also to change every piece of furniture in every house to the 5-star "luxury" furniture. Yes it is just so I can get the maximum ammount of money from the game, but it's taking a long time and a LOT of gold to make it happen, and the people still hate me!

Though maybe that's because I'm charging them +100% rent and jacking up all shop prices to +100% too. Don't get me wrong I want to save the world, but I also love money and hate those generic clone villagers, so fuck them. Better to be hated than have every female stalk me around town and block doorways.

When I had Fable 3 I had three different saved outfits that I would use for different occasions. When attending to official king business I would wear the king suit, when going around on my daily activities it was a carefully colour-coordinated and altered version of the "practical prince outfit" (mostly just a coloured shirt with various other bits of other outfits" and whenever I went to the Dweller's camp I wore a fancyed up version of the Dweller outfit because you know, it's cold up there.

And for the final battle at the end I purposely bought a full suit of armour just for that one mission. Never wore it again, ever.

Flag collecting in the first Assassin's Creed. Yes, I was coming back to the Kingdom to find flags, on multiple occasions, despite the fact that nothing happens if you collect all flags in the first game.

Also, visiting all planets and scanning everything in ME1/ME2. I just... saw a planet that needed scanning and couldn't leave it without shooting at least two probes (I couldn't shoot only one probe, because then, that one probe would be all alone on the unknown distant planet :( Yes, I guess I have problems).

I collected every book in Oblivion that I could find, brought it home, and stacked it onto the shelves. I didn't use any mod, so it took a lot and I mean A LOT of time. Of course, I read all the books. I collected different sets of weapons and displayed it around the house in sets. I explored every room of everything, I do it in every game, even the shitty ones.

In Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood I did all the missions with 100% sync and replayed some of them many times to get 100%. Also, I collected every feather, flag and treasure and have just a few more side missions to complete.

I didn't play more then 15 hours of ME, but I scanned every planet, read the info on all of them, and visited every one I could. Also, I read the whole codex.

In Dragon Age I explored every room, and took every bit of loot, so I had to go back and fort a lot of times. I read every bit of lore and any information that was in the game. I usually read everything, even in the MMOs.

1. Reloading
2. Anything and everything in Minecraft. Minecraft in itself is an OCD catalyst.

Well let's start with pokemon : i religiously caught ever natured ditto for when i wanted to breed a pokemon woth a specific nature ( because you cant breed ditto ) . Also i always get the male pokemon that i want to breen with a specific characteristic. Protip: when breesing more often that not pokemon keep the nature of the female pokemon and the characteristic (IV) of the male pokemon.

In POP 2008 , i got every glowing seed thinggy , not for the achievement , but just because the landscape was so beautiful i wanted to see everything.
Why don't I do that? I'm going to get a Ditto for every nature, but I'm never touching POP08 again, no matter how beautiful it is...
Well it's not as easy as it sounds , first you have to find where ditto aprears , then 1/3 times he'll battle you , then you have to catch it , then check the nature . Your first 5 dittos might have diferent natures , but then they will start to repeat , so then you have to release them , buy pokeballs , and try again . When you need your last natured ditto it bassically becomes a thing of luck , it could take from 5 minutes to 5 hours to get the last one .

Sorting my items in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

One locker holds guns, one locker holds energy weapons, one locker holds melee weapons, one locker holds light armor, one locker holds medium armor, one locker holds heavy armor, one locker holds crafting materials, one locker (fridge) holds food items.

I spend half an hour per session sorting everything.

And any game that has quick-saving has me tapping the quick-save button every few seconds.

every game ever where i can collect things, i collect EVERYTHING. in fallout new vegas i had a couple thousand tin cans at level 2, although once i realized that i never picked up another tin can again (i had a seperate pile of bent tin cans aswell). i also never sell anything, i keep all of it, makes things alot harder than they should be but i don't want to sell it and then need it later.

Usually happening in RPGs but choosing a class and race then changing to another like an hour or so in.

Repeat infinitely.

In Morrowind, I loved finding and saving books so much that I downloaded a house with a ton of bookshelves and a book rotating mod so I could properly organize my collection. I'd work on my bookshelves for hours on end, either rearranging books when I found a new one or making sure all of the books lined up perfectly.

I had to try to pick up everything in Bioshock. And I do mean everything. To the point where I would purposely light myself on fire, so I could use a first-aid kit, so I could pick up a new first-aid kit. Plus, since I mostly used the wrench and the electro bolt, I had maxed-out amounts of every type of ammo. And, I would spend excess money on more ammo I didn't need so I could pick up more money. Not to mention, eating or drinking any food item I found lying around. I just couldn't stand to leave anything behind!
