Are you an in-game hoarder?

    By this I mean, when you play video games that have items/an inventory, do you tend to collect as many items as you can and be stingy about getting rid of them, even if you'll probably never need them later anyway?

    This can refer to video games in general, but specifically Nintendo Games since that's what this section is for. ;)

    I've found this to be a big problem for myself. In Pokémon, I always collect every single item, and talk to every single person who gives you an item. I buy as many different items as I can, and tell myself "Just in case" even though it just ends up crowding my bag in the end. I will consistently have like 50 healing items even though I definitely don't need that many, and keep every single held item available. Bags in older generations, which had a tight item limit, drove me crazy.

    And more recently, in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, it's become a big problem again. I buy/collect/save so many clothes and furniture that my storage is almost completely full. I rented three exhibit rooms just to store furniture, and I may need to open another one soon. x_x And I simply don't feel comfortable selling it all, even the stuff I'm not using and probably never will use.

    My name is Pixil, and I'm an in-game hoarder. :(

    So what about you? Do you hoard in video games, or do you have no problem with leaving items alone and selling the items you have and probably won't use?

    I hoard like crazy in game and irl. I think it's just the fact I never want to loose items because I think they'll somehow be important later on.

    Skyrim, anyone?

    My inventory, for the longest time, was absolutely packed full of nearly-useless gear. Eventually, I forced myself to get rid of non-crafting materials. Still obsessively hoard herbs, metals, gems, etc.

    I'm glad I prefer a mage, or I'd hoard weapons and armor too.

    I'd be surprised if there was anyone who didn't have this problem, to be honest.

    Even when I have duplicate items, I still end up keeping them until the end of time...

    I like to hoard stuff, as long as there is no limit.
    Weapons, Armor, etc. I keep at least one of each that I come across, in my inventory.

    Really, I am. I hoard so many shinies in X/Y that it's unreal. They aren't even used in battles, they just sit there...in the box, forever. Lonely, lonely creatures.

    I rarely, if ever, use my inventory items. No matter the game, I just tend to forget I even have an inventory unless absolutely necessary.

    Depends on the game, some games I hoard all the items I find, others I sell items once they becomes worthless. Pokémon for instance I will horde absolutely everything (except money items and X items), where as Bravely Default I will sell weapons when they won't do any use to me anymore.

    Any games with some sort of alchemy system like Dragon Quest (can someone tell me any games that have as good an alchemy system as DQ9 please) I will hoard all the things just in case they can be used in a recipe for some super epic item that I could get only by keeping that item.

    Every time I buy Pokeballs or Full Restores, I buy at least 99 of them. Every single time.

    I hoard weapons and food and junk whenever I play Skyrim.

    Oh god, you have no idea. Every game ever. Be it money, Pokémon, weapons, armor, healing items- you name it.

    I don't know how this habit started but it sure as heck hasn't ended

    "Oh look, there's an item over there which I already have 35 of. The way to get there seems quite dangerous as well. Still must get it!"
    "I already have 999 rupees, so I can't collect any more anyway... Ooh money must have!"

    Yep... That's me :D

    Give me all the items xD
    The more items I have the safer I feel, so I definitely want as many as I can get. I spend about 1000000 pokedollars buying 100 of everything in Pokémon X.

    I always hoard everything 'cause of course I'm gonna need that early game item, later on.

    Definitely. I find this to be even more true for Nintendo games since a lot of them tend to be cute-looking which only makes me want to own everything even more just to say I've 100%'d a cute-looking game. <_<; I go out of my way to open every chest and obtain every item, though it can be very draining after a while.. :( It's hard to proceed without nabbing whatever's in the area unless you've sucked your motivation dry if you're playing a game with a lot of optional items and content to obtain.

    I do my best, though.

    I don't hoard much in games, actually. I've never caught the entire pokédex, and I never really plan on doing that. Didn't feel like collecting all the mega stones, etc. I just do the things I feel the need to, like getting competitive 'mons for VGC tournaments.

    I hoard pretty much everything that can be picked up in Skyrim because I wanna get all the loot I can.

    Yes I am totally like this. When I play RPG's I'm too afraid to use anything because maybe it will be more useful later and then it doesn't get used for a long time.

    In response to all the mention of hoarding in Skyrim, I present this video. Skip to 6:23

    I think i'm more of a collector, in games like FF3 or Castlevania (The DS titles) there are a lot of items you can only get once... So If I sell anything, I MUST leave at least 1 of that item in my inventory.
