Also go OCD when making sure no fog of war is left on the map...I want it all visible.
I used to do that too, until I used some item-making program to create a Helm of Clear Vision (a.k.a. Clairvoyance), which was able to cast the Mage spell Clairvoyance three times a day.
I only tend to collect too much items as potential loot. It takes me a while in each game to learn when it's time to stop collecting normal swords and armour to sell. I often run out of room in my inventories and am sharing extra sets of the heavier armours between characters so I can sell them later at shops.
I think that's probably my only compulsion (there are probably other things, but that's the one that annoys me at times).
Hurrah! My mental health is better than I thought it was.
You have no idea. LOL. I probably also shouldn't tell you it took me like a couple years to beat the game because I would always find something part-way in that I wished I did differently and I just started over, lol.

That one I can admit to. I'm forever starting games and then deciding I did something wrong and starting all over again. Usually I do it if one of my NPCs dies (I play no resurrection) but sometimes it can be something as small as choosing the wrong dialogue option or feeling I haven't played my character properly.

Yep! You'd think we'd just go ahead and finish the games at that point... Then what happened to me is one I'd restart I'd lose interest for awhile and have to come back to it later.
I'm fairly confident I'm the most OCD Infinity Engine player I know.
- Complete every BG2 NPC's sidequest - Update journal manually to explain why, after completing someone's sidequest, I dropped them from the group (disincluding the 5 I chose to join me permanently, of course) - Never change the party order. In IWD, this means I create them in whatever order I wish. In BG, it means that at whatever point you join the party, that's the slot you fill, with the protagonist obviously always being on point - In IWD, write biographies - Cannot have the party order maintain any sort of alignment/gender patterns eg. NG, NG, LG, LG, CG, TN, would annoy me, as would Male, Male, Female, Female, Male, Male - Character clothing colours NEVER change, except for the protagonist between BG1 and BG2 upon import. This results in Jan Jansen and Haer'Dalis always having their unique colours, Minsc always being Blue/Yellow in BG2, Nalia always being Torquoise/Brown etc. etc. (this rule is especially annoying if I would like to change their colours, because I feel a compulsion not to do it!)
I'm so sure there are more, so I will update as I remember! ^^
I think I'm not that bad. I just clear the entire fog of war, I always use the exploreare console command before leaving an area to make sure all the fog is gone.
I also can't force myself to sell any named equpment. A generic magic equipment is sold with no problem but if it has a name it remains, even if I know nobody in my group will ever be able to use them.

Ohh and yes... The Fog of War is the Enemy!

I find myself picking up tons of potions and scrolls, but then never using them because I'm saving them.
