ESO Waifus...

Jarryzzt✭✭✭✭Why would people ask what a "waifu" is in this thread when Urbandictionary.com exists? Genuinely curious. It's not as if typing "www.urbandictionary.com" and then "waifu" takes an inordinate amount of time.Waifu
A term coined by Otaku and Weeaboo alike for their 2D significant others; predominantly anime and video game characters. A Waifu, in contrast to a harem, is the love between one man and his one and only Waifu. You treat your Waifu with the utmost respect and courtesy and most refuse to even *** to their beloved, seeing the act as an insult to the non-existent woman they have committed themselves to.
A spin-off term "Husbando" followed for Fujioshi who feel similarly towards male characters.
Really the only issue with that definition is the use of the term "2D". You'd have to make it "3D" to encompass most modern video games (and some anime, too).
On topic - compared with some other games, I actually do not know if there is enough in this one to generate "waifus" or "husbandos". Meaning, usually one needs...a significant amount of content, character development, interaction...here, most male or female NPCs sort of pop in and pop out. The most dialogue one has is with the three alliance rulers, plus one or two cronies (Razum-dar), plus the Laurent-Stibbons duo, plus the Dwemer-obsessed brother-sister duo. And all of that dialogue works out to, what, give quest-ask about quest-turn in quest?
Maybe it's because I am used to people doing the "waifu-husbando" routine over, I don't know, Final Fantasy characters (hours and hours of dialogue), or comic book (US) or manga (Japan) characters (running to potentially dozens or hundreds of panels), or anime series (upwards of dozens of episodes for the longest ones)...Here, in ESO, most NPCs have so little presence that having a "crush" on them is the same as getting a crush on some man-woman-sheep one sees once, while riding in public transit, for all of ten minutes, from across ten meters (thirty feet) away, and never encounters ever again. Sure, you can fill in whatever fantasy you wish to go with the pretty face, but...there is just no "there" there.
In my personal opinion.2 -

✭✭✭Who is best grill and waifu of ESO? Also, why is it that you feel this way?
For me personally, it is the little Bosmer lady in Elden Root who happens to be a clothier. She’s so perfect and well-spoken... If only I could have her added to my house as a maid. Q_Q
I agree with you. Elden Root's clothier is the finest bosmer lady I have ever met.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭@Cloudless Not sure if she is your waifu or you want us to stop. xD
Also for everyone who doesn't have a waifu, the thread also asks for best girls, which is not nearly as weird as having a serious fictional crush.
Waifus are best girls, but best girls are not always waifus.Best Girl is slang used by anime or manga fans to describe an individual’s favorite female character. The term usually goes hand-in-hand with the term waifu.Edited by Ratzkifal on November 25, 2017 12:37PMThis Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.3 -

Annoying term for girl. Being a girl myself, I have been called a grill a lot.
Thank god I live in Germany and I am not called a cooking device! xD
I know of grrrrrrl. But not grill, lol.
Anyhow, Im gonna say Quen, followed VERY closely by Hildegard. Virtual crush's confirmed.
As for Husbandus, god that sounds silly. Darien Gautier. Hands down.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Lol. Glad to see others are understanding of this light-hearted thread, and aren’t taking it too seriously. This is good indeed. This was just a silly thread I decided to come up with to discuss the NPC’s that people either have a crush on, or feel very attached to. Nothing more or less.

✭✭✭✭✭Naryu
Because she’s an unrepentant flirt that can do light-hearted banter, but then turn deadly serious (pun intended!) in a split second. She also seems like the kind of elf who’d admit to having any feelings only under life threatening situations ('that ash titan is going to breath fire on us! I love you by the way'), or in a very off-handed manner in an unsuspecting moment ('I’m going out to get sweet rolls – love you!'), which I think is endearing. Aaanyway…

✭✭✭✭✭Why would people ask what a "waifu" is in this thread when Urbandictionary.com exists? Genuinely curious. It's not as if typing "www.urbandictionary.com" and then "waifu" takes an inordinate amount of time.
For one thing, it emphasizes the use of an uncommon word that one has to go to the Urban dictationary to define. Additionally, if one person says what it is, everyone else can save the effort of looking up some obscure "nerd-speek" word.
For the record, I looked up both "waifu" and "weebanese" on urbandictionary.com

On a more serious note... I have yet to encounter any NPC that -I. would think of like: "Yes! That is lover material!" in ESO. There are some for friends, "big sister" (naryu) or comrades, but... none that I really feel "I want this one as my characters mate!"... Buuuut, I guess I already know I am wierd, and find it quite difficult to find people compartible in that way with my wierdness, so... no surprise there.4 -

Definitely a grill because that’s what might happen to you if you cheat on her.2
