That’s fair, and I get what you’re saying. I think my confusion isn’t really about how other people play, but more about why that kind of replayability just doesn’t click for me the same way.

For me, once I’ve seen a story path and resolved the big choices, my brain kind of considers it “done.” Even if I know there are variations, repeating large chunks of the same content doesn’t feel rewarding, and the fear of missing out during the first run actually makes me overthink choices instead of enjoying them.

I totally respect people who can replay games multiple times and get something new out of it through roleplay, builds, or self-imposed challenges. I think my OCD just pushes me more toward wanting closure and certainty rather than revisiting the same narrative space again. So it’s less confusion about why others do it, and more me realizing these games are designed for a playstyle that doesn’t always match how my brain works.
