Every active quest in your journal nags at your soul
Yes. But why wouldn't it? That's the whole point of the game, to do quests. If you fail a quest it's a little fail, like a softer fail-state than death, but a fail-state nonetheless. Or it represents content you have yet to explore. I must admit, I've learned to not care about trash quests though in recent years (hard to describe but an experienced player knows when they see one).
You will not rest until every inch of the map has been uncovered
Totally. But why wouldn't you? it's content, why would you ignore content? I did laugh when he said about clearing the fog is like mowing the lawn though, that's a great way of describing it for the methodical mindset
You can’t walk past a waterfall without first seeing what’s behind it
I have no idea what this is about, seems to be a Zelda reference, I've never played Zelda. You can normally get the gist of where a game hides loot and treat each game independently with regards to avoiding hunting-every-inch.
If an item isn’t nailed down, you’re going to take it with you – even if you’re not playing as a thief
Of course. That's what it's there for. If the game actually employs a realistic crime mechanic I likely wouldn't though, but if they did that then that loot would have to be very strictly controlled to useless for fear of making the rogue OP anyway.
No barrel, crate, or table will escape your smashing
It's funny, because in my current game there's this shit all over the place. Again, you get used to which types are likely to hold something and the crappier ones tend to get ignored more. Normally though, of course, why wouldn't you, that's what it's there for.
You have no problem losing hours of progress if you suddenly realize your created character is ugly
Nope, never. Dude must be doing something wrong.
You will replay a boss encounter over and over again at the prospect of getting marginally better loot
Not in any cRPG I've played. Diablo-clones, well, obviously, but other than that, nope.
Autosaves are a foe as vile as any demon lord
As others have said, not a problem. It's a only a problem if it's the only save option. But if it was, you'd still get used to it and play accordingly (if you chose to buy a game which had such a mechanic, of course).
You’ll talk everyone’s ears off – multiple times – for fear of missing out on dialogue
Nope. My biggest problem is I shut convos down too quickly. I can only cope with so much pointless option clicking before start losing the will to live. Some games do it better than others.
You’ve given more thought to decorating your in-game house than your actual living space
No. Way too recent a phenomenon for me to have ever had this issue. If the game offers me gold-plated window frames from an easy to click menu paid for by an excess of loot-gold, then, yeah, probably, who the F has gold-plated window frames IRL…
