You Know You've Been Playing ESO Too Much When...

When you hear a loud roar from a vehicle or plane and look around for a dolmen.

CrypticEasy

You wake up out of a dream too scared to walk in front of your family because you don't want them to question all the weapons and gear you're carrying.

Sotha_Sil

When you are dreaming and you get annoyed because there are some bugs in it

natewook

when you see blue fox gloves and feel a faint urge to pick them for alchemy.
when you hear someone coughing and instantly think of the sounds NPC's make when you use the blade of woe.
when you can't stop humming Stagger and Sway, the bard song.

u lag irl

Vruci

When you crouch behind people and the voices in your head tell you 'Looking is fine, taking anything is a crime'

Just me?

Wrong game?

Whaaaaaaaat?

newtinmpls

Walking the dogs the other day by a creek, saw a fallen section of tree, the lines of the bark were kind of parallel....

Darn near called out to my husband (who also games with me)

"Chest!"

Eporem

when it takes me minutes or so to re-attune myself to what is going on around me outside of the game.

NordSwordnBoard

Using ESO terms IRL like:

"The boss is around the corner looking to gank people leaving early."

"I meant... gaffle?"

A guildie the other week said he was gonna take the kids to the library, was gonna open every book once and put it down to look for lorebooks!

altemriel

When you go with a bus from work and the guy sitting next to you stinks (forgot to put a deodorant on, or just does not care) and the first descriptive word that comes to your mind for that stench is "debuff"

UrBaN_RaNgErZz

When you log off for the night and in bed you find yourself thinking "how can I improve my build" or "what is on the agenda for tomorrow".

Carraig

I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere, but lunch break doesn't allow me to search too long for it:

When you have both the Grand Overlord and the Master Angler titles available for display.

HotToddy

This game helped me discover Yerba Mate (which I am very grateful for!).

I was never exposed to it before playing ESO and one day I found it at the grocery store to my surprise, tried it, and now I'm hooked!

Doesn't give me the jitters on days when I have high anxiety and gives me a real mood lift. I love when video games expose you to real world goodies like this!

Brokensocket

You mistake your dad as a flesh atonrach and grab 2 knifes and perform rapid strikes untill he dies

Ragdoll

You hear an airplane somewhere in the distance and think "Oh, a thieves trove must be near..."

covenant_merchant

When, while in a cafe with your real life friends, you call someone a "fotm cancerous pug", and they look at you funny.

When you go to a grocery store and think about selling your useless junk to the grocer instead for easy gold.

Speaking of currency, when you refer to "pounds" as "gold" in your macroeconomics essay.

When you wish you paid as much attention to the fluctuations of real life markets as you do to the rise and fall of the columbines and alloys' prices.

When you wake up and think about those tedious daily quests that you have to do irl too.

When you have more anger and resentement towards a velidreth/viper nightblade who ganked you than towards the b**** who went to the prom with your ex.

Glaiceana

And another one, this time from my boyfriend rather than me: When about to check the timetable at a bus stop "I wonder how often this bus spawns"

Saoirse_Siobhan

Well, something else happened to me the other day. I was playing ESO and reading this hilarious conversation in guild chat, and then spent a long moment wondering how to give someone's "comment" an awesome I think I'm spending too much time on the forums!

Bryanonymous

When you remember looting random objects in your dreams and seeing the auto looted objects pop up on the side of your dream screen.

DannyLV702

When You see a girl irl and you assume it's just another guy

Last night while having a conversation with someone, I found myself standing like one of the stances in the Brassy Assassin's personality and thought, ohmygod..:) I don't think I have ever stood this way before.

That and...

-- having a brief urge to grab a butterfly you've spotted for insect parts
-- driving past a Burger King and referring to it as BRK instead of BK
-- referring to heavy traffic as lag
-- getting really good at silently mouthing cursing fits so you don't wake anyone up while PvPing

Um, you mean heavy traffic ISN'T lag? Well, that explains why the new video card I soldered into my car didn't help any. Damn, you could have told me before. Oh well, at least I didn't install the terabit network card yet.
