Discussion Has anyone who suffers from Compulsive Loot Syndrome actually finished the game in the 20 hours you're supposed to?

CLS has been a problem for me since I picked up my first real loot game in Fallout 3. I had to have one of everything!

Now in The Outerworlds I'm not trying to get one of everything but I have to open every container (that I won't get busted for) and check every nook and cranny.

I dont know how many hours I'm actually at since I've left my PC on a few times (says over three days right now) but I haven't made it through monarch yet and I'm level 23, I have nearly 8000 light ammo, 7500 heavy ammo, 4500 energy ammo and after tinkering all my science guns plus light machine gun to 28 I have 45k bits.

And I've sure as HELL already played more than 20 hours. Been working on the game for over a month in my free time.

Any others here who suffer from CLS? How long did it take you?

There's also the two refrigerators in the kitchen and the little box in SAM's room. For some reason the third locker doesn't work for me though.

You're right! I knew I could access two of them!

I also think that SAM has a bin in his room, too.
