Playing ESO is like dating someone who's hot

I recently the screen cracked on my laptop and the shop said it would take a little over a week to fix. So I got my old laptop out of the closet and dusted it off. It's not powerful enough to play ESO (except the wailing prison), but I have some other games on it. Of course I don't have a subscription to WOW, but I did have an old free account I used to use so I fired it up.

So have you ever dated someone who had a few things about them that really bothered you, but since they were so hot you just let it slide? But then after a while it just gets more annoying and you start thinking about how great your last partner was? You might even call up that ex to hang out, only to realize after a little while just how boring and uninteresting that ex is when compared to your new hot (but often annoying) partner? You soon remember every reason why you left them.

I've never done this next thing, but some of you might even break up with the hottie yet try to still maintain some kind of unhealthy contact with their new partners and / or friends, unable to move on because you can't find a new hottie? You're waiting for the next great one to come along, never realizing that the last one was the best you'll ever get, lol?

For those of us who don't burn our bridges there is a kind of sinking feeling that you just kinda have to "deal with it". Yeah, this thing or that thing is really annoying, but hey - this other thing they do is really great - and that trick they do! Can't give that up.

So that's where I am today - I'd rather spend 4 hours in the Wailing Prison making and deleting new characters over and over than endure 15 minutes of Trolls with Faux Jamacan accents, Kung Fu Pandas, endless fetch-kill quests and point and cllick 1-2-3 drudgery.

    More like dating the psycho hot chick. She infuriates you constantly but you are scared to leave her because you think you will never have another hot chick and she may hurt you.

    Exactly how I'm feeling right now. I just reactivated my old swtor account and tried playing. Even as much as I love Star Wars I can't play swtor. It sucks. And I'm getting more and more sick of ESO. I don't see any other mmos that seem fun so I'm just stuck playing 2 mediocre games.

    Okay? I've never played it myself but I was refering to BDO being the psycho hot chick who hurts you.

    Or I guess you realised that and made the comment to farm agrees because everyone hates BDO... fair enough

    I understand you meaning, but I tend not to think of people this way. You either recognize the good and the not so good and take the whole package and appreciate who they are, or you move on so the other person can do the same.

    no no no no

    ESO is like pizza.

    The experience is often much better than the overall appearance, so long as you don't overdo it or wantonly ruin somebody else's slice of pizza by *** all over it.

    Well... I do like the wailing prison. I'm always there till level 5 or so (used to max out at 4 I know).

    I think of ESO as kind of a sweet, but socially unskilled hottie.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I never dated. So I wouldn't know. But I do love ESO. Not sure if that helps. However. Deleting my characters is kinda hard for me.

    And we've found the 12 year old that thinks anyone over 18 doesn't play this game. Rofl. 98% of us have probably smashed more girls than years in your age while playing this game. Thank you.

    Not all of us are pimply faced living in our mothers basement, FYI.
