So i just noticed that when i really like the game at some point i will at once play the game and watch the stream/youtube wideo of the game( usualy speedrun or aome hardcore challenge). I noticed it recently with anno 1800 but now that i think about it i did that with tales of arise, eu4 ,kings bounty,total war,hades and probably some more. So i wonder do you have similar strange habits

I can tell I'm really into a game when I end up ditching the objectives to just screw around. If I'm following the quest arrow I'm probably just in it for the plot or for some completionist urge, but if I really like the game I'll start wandering off the main path to just enjoy the environment and satisfy my own curiosity about things.

Similarly, it's if I really start looking at the scenery. Like zooming in on desks and and where textures meet and stuff to a) see all the worldbuilding details, and b) to see the level designer / env artist's work up closer.

I was like level 20 before I started the main quests in Skyrim. 😂
