So often with games I tend to get hung up on trying to complete all of the little things and too often this tendency interferes with the game experience as a whole. I never even complete games in their entirety, and yet as I go through them I'm always focused on not missing anything. If there is ever an item you can miss getting, I always jump through any hoops to get it just because I can't stand the idea of having my game not be able to be complete, even if I will never actually complete it.
The problem with this is it really gets in the way of the play too much. In Fallout 3, for example, every time I did a quest I would go look up all the possible outcomes and made sure I got the best one. Even though I never even hit the level cap or got close to completing all the quests, I just couldn't let little things by and that is eventually what caused me to grow tired of the game - I couldn't just play however I wanted.
