I usually race through games like this since i really want to see what happens next in the story. Once i beat the game and know what happens i always start another playthrough and take everything much slower.

Partly depends on the character. I almost always get every companion and do at least some side quests. How many and what side quests I do depends on the character - some of them do a majority, some barely do any. Some are just quests that wouldn't appeal to a particular character. I'll collect some special items if they're of particular interest to me, and I'll do companion quests, but I rarely worry about "gotta catch 'em all." I tend to find collectables tedious rather than interesting, unless there's some nice plot/story element tied into it, or if it's tied in with the main quest line and is easy to grab on the way, like the jade statues in Sleeping Dogs. I don't generally go out of my way to get an achievement unless that achievement actually sounds like fun to get. For instance, I never get the achievements for playing the game on Nightmare, because I don't personally find Nightmare difficulty fun.

I no longer play games to acquire achievement of trophies (i.e. in the past, I used to keep playing games, even if i didn't want to, to get achievements and trophies). I play games to have fun and enjoy them. If I happen to get all the achievements and trophies, so be it; that's an added bonus. 

 

So... I play games to have fun and enjoy them, not to be a completionist or perfectionist.

I harvest every vein of ore and read every book* I run into in Skyrim. I think that should be speak enough of my intentions.

 

*At least once, and I mean literally read it, not open it and close it.

I'm a freak who has to complete everything before ending the main mission XD

"Game"? What game? The wait's taking so long, I forgot about it!

Anyway, I tend to do a lot of stuff, except for when things begin to bore me. Like the collecting swords for that one Qunari in DA2. Then I won't finish it and wil save it for another time.
However, on my first playthrough of both DA games, I tended to go through the game fairly quickly, curious about what lay ahead and not what I was doing at that particular moment. I want to avoid being like that in Inquisition, though.

I`m a completionist in terms of quests and codex (i always do every side quest and recruit all the companions) but i`m not concerned about getting every collectible item or about trophies and achievements.

I will do a playthrough collecting everything I can, recruit everyone and get the best ending

 

I will do the worst playthrough possible and get the best ending, and do the goody-two-shoe playthrough and get the worst ending

 

I will to everything the game has to offer in however many playthroughs it takes.

I tend to do whatever fits the current character, and skip what I think they'd have no interest in/choose to avoid. So it may take 2-3 playthroughs to see bulk of the content, and I usually don't have patience for this many, leaving the game "somewhat completed".

Definitely a completionist, though I'm bound to miss stuff on my first playthrough. But I will do my best to discover everything possible :P

I'm a completionist, most of the time.

As long as my main character is extremely powerful by the end, that's good enough.  Other than reading as much of the codex as possible, I don't really need to collect anything or do every side-quest.  But now that I think about it, it's not like there's a whole lot of hidden content, so I probably do 99% of the quests anyway...

I'll be the 95-99% type of playthroughs. I'll try to do everything possible, but if I don't/can't then it's fine.

I don't know if what I do is considered "neither" or "somewhere in between". I tend to focus on what my character(s) would do.

Considering all the variables in the Keep, I doubt it'll be possible to do and uncover everything in every playthrough. I know I'll miss things, even things I know should be there, just because I for get or don't want to bother with some of the minor stuff on this or that playthrough.

 

I won't start going back re-loading unless I really screw something up bad ... like miss the door to the Inn,

Depends entirely on the game, and what the 'everything else' entails.

 

If I like the game, and the gameplay itself is engaging and fun, I might go the extra mile.  If the gameplay is just 'more of the same', probably not.

First time through I tend to get caught up in the main story, so I end up missing  a bunch of stuff.  I can't bring the main quest to a boiling point and then go dick around somewhere else, I have to finish what I started.

 

In second and beyond runs, I'll probably have one guy who finishes everything but most will not because by the time the third or the fourth guy comes around I know what each quest leads to and I can decide before hand if it fits the character to do that quest.  For example my Dwarven Warrior won't go out of his way to end the Elven Uprising, if Sera's quest has something to do with that, even though she is a companion I would likely skip that quest even if it causes her to leave the party.

 

If I'm to play a game more than once I want to see the story play out differently, though I haven't touched Mass Effect in a few months I always play the game with a different combination of people dead.  My next Shepard is going to be a Liaramancer who allows his Mass Effect 2 sexual partners to die(not saving Grissom Academy, breaking up with Miranda so Leng kills her, not telling Kelly to change her name), same with those that refused him, Samara killing herself and Ashley dying during the coup.

Depends how I feel... And that changes a lot. I might wake up one morning going "man I am really feeling like side-questing the whole day away!" but others I might just be sick of those and move forward in the main quest. No real rhyme or reason.

Yes I will do a playthrough where I power game and complete everything as opposed to role playing and only doing things that would make sense for that particular Inquisitor.

I can be a fairly OCD perfectionist.

I want to complete everything on my first playthrough but with DA and ME games I tend to miss some stuff first time around, so from my 2nd playthrough onward I get everything.

It depends on whether I like the content or not. If the dungeons start getting repetitive or boring (DA2, Skyrim, Oblivion, even Morrowind) I just abandon and complete the game. If the game has tons of side quests and all of em are really interesting to me (FF12) then I end up doing them all.

 

These days I try to at least make sure I see all the legitimate (non-grindy) story content though at least once though.

Somewhere in between, but they said you keep playing after the main story is over so I'm going to be a completionist then, probably.
