      I think calling it OCD is over selling it a bit, but idk what would be a better term

        Do you experience compulsions in other ways? Or is it just with KOTOR/games and how you play them? Usually OCD depends on the performance of rituals in an attempt to reassure a person about an obsessive fear, and it needs to rise above a certain level of disruption to life enjoyment.

        You may be experiencing this in a way with this game, but it's possible to experience the symptoms of a particular mental illness without necessarily "having" it. It all depends on how disruptive it happens to be for you in the pursuit of a happy life.

          yeah, to be clear, I don't believe I have actual OCD.
          but in some games, especially RPGs, if I don't do things in an ideal way I will restart until I do because it feels wrong.
          Like talking to one NPC before another, or doing a task a certain way.
          It's a bit compulsive, so idk how else to describe it.
