>Open-world collect-a-thons
Whenever I am in an open-world with a lot of shit to pick up, I just swallow the pill and get to collecting, most of the time they give you a special little gift or power-up for your troubles.
I am playing Prototype and since this game is scratching my power fantasy itch, I am just running around collecting whatever items give me a little bit of an edge. IMO it allows me to explore the whole map that the devs worked on instead of beelining to the mission objectives.
>Jumping instead of regularly walking to a location.
If the jumping is fun and moves me there quicker than just normally running or walking there, I am jumping my man.
>Any game with a companion
I try and make my companion the better half of the duo, I mean if the enemy thinks my companion is the more powerful one, then that allows me to gain the advantage due to them underestimating me. In Todd Howard's Skyrim it's fun outfitting my companion with OP gear and letting them do all the busy work anyway.

When I play RTS I like to do comfy building, I always spend my missions forgetting about what I'm supposed to do and try to build my base as if it was a town or a village,
Certain areas are meant for certain things, such as all the buildings that increases population is on one side, with some space between the rows so my people can walk through when they wanna go home. And the resource gathering buildings are aligned aside eachother with silos inbetween for easier storage.
If the game has power plants, I place those accordly so that they power each part of the city.
Also the main structure that allows you to build has to be in the center with defenses and walls around it.
The game doesn't have walls to build? IT'S FUCKING SHIT GET THAT CRAP OUT OF MY FACE.
The best part is if the map has a city in it that I can just demolish and build my own. I also NEVER build on the roads because that's where my vehicles drive.

Morrowind's current autonomy is because its a desolate shithole and the Empire is occupied with the Dominion so it can't afford to spare the 3 men to occupy Morrowind.
Plus Hammerfell, Argonia and Summer Set are fully autonomous and only Hammerfell is on shacky term right now. Skyrim possibly as well soon.

It's not something I do every time, but it's also RTS-related. It requires there to be multiple unique factions, but one of them has some form of mind control:

What I often end up doing is play that faction, control enemy workers, then use them to build the other faction's buildings and train their units until I've created a huge army of all the different factions together.

I always pick up everything I can even though I seldom, if ever, use any of it.
In the same vein, I try to gather all collectibles before I do much of the main story.
I explore every corner of every room. I can't stand leaving a single stone unturned, it makes me feel like I'm missing something. I'll spend hours on a single level going places I've surely been before to see if I missed anything, especially if there is a list or percentage associated with it.
If I'm watching my friend play a game and he doesn't do these things, I try to steer him but don't want to backseat game so I end up mad like a faggot. I've been better about that lately though.

In WC2 I would always build a church on top of the enemy's Altar of Storms (or an altar of Storms on top of a church if playing orcs) when I destroyed their base. I would give them a little time so that I could get works into the base and create the new Altar. Actually works well for strat anyways because I usually sneak workers into the enemy base to build towers during a siege anyways.
I think I got the idea from history, where the christians liked to build churches on top of old pagan holy sites, and the romans once tried to build a temple to Jupiter on top of the Temple of Jerusalem. I guess I like the idea of literally burying your enemies and building an altar to your own gods on top of them. Its a very autistic but historically founded "fuck you" basically

Most of them become superfluous and expendable once you teach them to your wizard. Just ask yourself if you need to use the spell to win and if your mage is out of spells. If so, cast it.

I'm pretty lax on that. I chose the default femShep when I was playing Mass Effect trilogy, but I hated 3 so much that I quit. In my playthrough of DDDA, I made my character fairly similar to me and my pawn like a teenage daughter. After buying the Secret of Metamorphosis and before the end of my playthrough, I made him old and aged my pawn up to a young woman. The idea was to make my second playthrough cool, but I got bored of the game by then.
I think it's related to psychology. I pretty much play a woman whenever I'm given the option because she's like a companion, but in DDDA, where you have to customize two people, I make a male and a female. I always name my female characters Elizabeth, who was the first girl I had a crush back in grade 1. She was absolutely gorgeous and, coincidentally, looked exactly like Elizabeth Taylor. I'm more into blondes now, but the name is special to me.
