Farrier
says
when I'm playing a computer game, I feel the need to completely complete it. So I need to talk to ALL the people (unless I know they don't have unique dialog: then I only need to talk to one of that type).
Farrier
says
I need to explore ALL the conversation options I can; I need to map ALL the world. I need to open ALL the things!
Farrier
says
this means I get more value out of games than people who run through as fast as they can... at least in terms of hours-per-dollar. But maybe they have more intense fun? I don't know.
As long as you enjoy the way you play game that's all that matters.
I say let your freak flag fly.

I am familiar with that and might call it "doing things properly". It is a compulsive behaviour.
Are you saying our farrier is compulsive? 
Farrier
says
If I die, I go back and re-talk to the people who told me useless color info.
Farrier
says
Because the fact that they talked to me is saved in the save file, and I need to get that flag set! 
Lemongrass
says
yes. I am saying that.
