This is why I have 120 hours in 40 hour games.

This, plus looking at a tiny little toe-sized piece of unexplored minimap on the opposite side of the world and thinking, "but what if there's something important there?!"

This, plus dragging every scrap of loot back to town to sell, no matter how bad the value/weight ratio is.

Oh this one's not me. For the first hour maybe but I get really picky really fast because it's more efficient to just find a new place to take the best loot from. Especially in something like Skyrim where the goons just respawn forever.

Borderlands 3 added an "auto-sell loot below [x] rarity" option, and it is amazing.

Only in games that make it clear what you're supposed to sell. I know games these days usually don't allow it, but all it takes is selling a necessary item once...

this is the first time I realize where that sentence comes from. jumped ship from Facebook so long ago I didn't even know this was a thing

I play games this way too, but I feel like the bigger factor in my playtime way higher than necessary is that I don't want to miss any dialogue so I talk to every NPC until they repeat themselves. Most of the time that's the second time you talk to them so I definitely get a lot out of that.
