Little habits in open world games

What're little habits you have in various open world games? For instance, when I play Fallout I usually dismember the people I kill, or at least remove their heads and hide them away from the rest of their bodies. And in Oblivion and Skyrim I tend to collect skulls I pick up at random places. But one universal habit i've made, and I noticed that it's happened more over the years rather than less, i'm a bit of a perfectionist in RPGs or games similar to them. I always have to do something EXACTLY right or make a build EXACTLY how I want it. If I start getting too off course I scrap it and start over. It can get a little annoying after a while, especially in Dark Souls, so i'm trying to do it less. What about you guys? What little habits do you tend to have in open world games? (I don't give a rat's ass if this isn't gaming, if it's really that big a deal then someone else can relocate it.)

  • i love making characters. ill make one, finish the first quest then go back and make another character and finish the first quest... its a vicious cycle. im lucky if i make it half way through the game.

  • I always need multiple characters who are good/bad, and am a total pack rat. I hated how you could have you character change specializations and do whatever you want as that character. I like having class builds and focusing on that character being good or bad. So in Skyrim I had 2 characters good and bad. However, in Oblivion, since your character was bound to his class, I made well over 20 characters, probably 30. I liked that a lot more tbh. And then I have a constant habit of looting everything possible from dead bodies and keeping all of it. My Breezehome had a specific drawer or chest for everything. And I just crammed them full of my days rewards.

    If someone has irritated me then I'll spend a while brutally killing them and reloading like some sort of twisted groundhog day. Then I carry that vendetta over to the next playthrough. For example - the guy outside goodsprings who lies about the geckos and his daughter. Fool me once, die every time I leave goodsprings and suffer for eternity ._.

      • Noticably in fallout games, I MUST collect every rare weapon. And I will exploit my way to every last one if I have to. And, I have an irrational need to collect ammo. And not just a small stockpile. We're talking something that could put entire armies to shame. The operation anchorage glitch in 3 made me a happy camper. I was doing the glitch, and looked at my ammo count. 10 million assault rifle rounds. The little voice in my head convinced me that I could run out of that much ammo. So in the end, I walked out with 1 Billion assault rifle rounds. 710 billion mini gun rounds. 400 billion something flamethrower rounds. And billions and millions of the other types.

          I need to play as a white male, otherwise... well, I don't know what happens; I've never played as anything except a white male. But I'm not racist. I married a Dunmer. In fact, I've hated Nords since Morrowind, so my greatest joy in Skyrim was bringing the whole forsaken place under Imperial control.

            [quote]For instance, when I play Fallout I usually dismember the people I kill, or at least remove their heads and hide them away from the rest of their bodies.[/quote] This. You know that alleyway ambush that bum leads you into in Freeside on New Vegas? After I killed all the ambushers I proceeded to chop up the bodies and dump them in nearby dumpsters. I also regularly kill hobos for no reason.

                  I go back and check containers or areas I've already looted. Also, compulsively starting new games for no good reason.

                  -I have to collect at least one of all the weapons and armor/clothing available. Been like that since Fable. -I don't like NPCs dying that don't have to die. This required a lot of reloading in Skyrim with random dragon and vampire attacks on settlements. -If it's possible to max my character I do so as soon as possible. For instance, I'm level 98 in Skyrim with all skills at 100 legitimately and haven't even started the main quest. I think I may suffer from slight OCD...

                    • Explore. When that's done. Never ending killing spree. When that gets boring. New game. Unless it's an mmo, then I just do raids

                    • Vengeance, if someone kills me i will make them suffer, i will decapitate and dismember them and then juggle the limbs, then i will wipe out all of their friends and family. And i have a tendancy to make my own story, like in Fallout NV i just decided to fu[i]c[/i]k the campaign and set off on a mission to kill my attacker, in the end i killed the entire casino, blood splattered on doors from my silent-LMG rampage, and it sort of ended up that i completed the game only by doing the first three and last three missions

                    • Search everything. I may have 5 million gold, but that won't stop me from digging through every chest and pot for 1 gold a piece.
