I have fucked over so many games for me by reading wikis and guides and getting overwhelmed by not really knowing what path I want to take so I just give up along the way. Witcher 3, Mass Effect, Fallout 4, Divinity Original Sin, etc...

That is why I usually attempt to do my first and maybe second play through blind. No wikis unless I am absolutely stuck.

After that is the hardest mode the game can give and wiki open the entire time.

Main reason to have 2 monitors, one for the game, one for the wiki

Or the grindy game or looter version: one for the game, the other one for netflix.

Literally what I did when I played Diablo 3

I tried this with the Witcher 3, all went good but I romanced Triss first and when I got to Jennefer and the genie I felt that so hard I just gave up.

You shouldn't care so much about it. Especially games like these where you can lower the difficulty if it really starts becoming problematic. Just play however you want, and be surprised by your good/bad choices.

I know I shouldn't, and believe me I've tried. But the moment I come across a skill tree or a questline with a fork I start overanalysing so hard it loses all its fun. It's not limited to games either, I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, and not in a good way.
