Weird game "habits"?

I'm exactly the opposite. In any shooter with an ammo system, of which I play a lot, I can't end a fight without a full clip. I reload after almost every kill, and if I run so low on ammo that I can't fill a clip anymore, it bothers me. Many a time I've gotten myself in major trouble because I couldn't stop myself from reloading in the middle of getting my nads shot off.Dr.Panties said:
I often find myself quoting lines from the game in Bane's (TDKR version) voice. It's pretty funny hearing "Rejoice brother! We're not copies of our father after all!" in that weird accent.
In 4X games I almost always used to focus on a very small but powerful and focused empire. Like say in Civ V I would have 3 founded cities max with an average of about 2 per game and I would just make those cities into industrial, scientific and economic powerhouses. The AI however always found my lack of empire as a sign of weakness and would move to crush me if I spawned too closely to them. But they would almost never take my cities because I have a military 2X the size of theirs defending a fraction of the territory.
However on the much harder difficulties I'd get steamrolled.
Now I am moving away from that model by taking a policy of quick and early expansion. In Gal Civ II for example I'd quickly set up dozens of colonies in the first 100 or so turns in the game. Sure most of them would be undefended until mid game but the population gives me a massive bonus early on in diplomacy and later on the tax revenue would be so immense that I could buy a 100 ship strong series of fleets with the best tech available in a few turns.
I'm just not too aggressive in strategy games since I mostly go for Tech or Culture victories.
Also I collect one of every book in the elderscrolls games. When I'm playing one I have a list of all the books in the specific game I'm playing right next to me, guifing me towards more words.

Exploring everything, I guess. But I don't have OCD, and I don't really think its very cool to loosely use it, since its a medical condition that breaks freedom of will.
OCD regarding items/ammo in shooters.
It shows badly in games such as Bioshock Infinite.
"I KNOW I don't need those apples for health, BUT I STILL NEED THEM!"

I restart games a LOT.
depending on the game, I might restart if:
-I screw up some feature of character creation
-I get a better idea for a character 2 seconds into playing the first character
-I take too long to name my character
-I miss some missable thing, even if it's possible to come back later and get it
-It's Sunday or Monday or Tuesday etc. etc.

Ive had this so muchAltorin said:
once when playing DA:O i noticed there was something on my character i didnt like, it was bugging me but i didnt know what it was. However after the battle of Ostagar and half way through the village shortly after i realised it. My character's eyebrows were a slight shade too dark... going to have to restart
I have a habit of taking out my weapon and holstering it. Taking out my weapon holstering it. Taking out my weapon holstering it. Taking out my weapon holstering it. It just always feels like I need to check something all the time. If you can't holster than I just swap. Bonus points if they have a smooth, cool looking take-out animation.
Inventory management... any game that has an inventory, it must be pristine and organized or I can't function. Which is completely at odds with my not-digital life where I prefer it disorganized.
Also, in stealth games, I must be completely 100% stealthy or I restart. Some games there's some leniency where you can be spotted or even shot, but if you go hide you can live and try again. But I don't allow it, I must be maximum stealthy.

That must be terrible. I couldn't wait to finish the game considering how boring it was, so I rushed through it as fast as I could ignoring all that crap.Xarathox said:
