I did something this weekend that I haven’t done in a long, long time. I finished a video game.

i think you are using OCD when you mean perfectionist. they are far from synonymous.

or perhaps even completionist?

Completionist is better. But they're not mutually exclusive, and aren't in this case. I'm driven/compelled to complete the games I start. I rarely succeed because I don't have enough time. So it's not a particularly debilitating compulsion, but they do sometimes have negative effects.

It's one of the drawbacks to WoW for me. The end-game is a bit too nebulous. Though I know there are people who have level 80s max faction with X,Y and Z, best gear, etc... I can't reach that level within my schedule. Not just because I have a job, but also because I take a long time to complete each portion. I explore fully. More completionist.
