Anyone else do this? No skyshards until you die? OR what are your role play rituals you do now?

I always wanted to do this and never have, but trying to do it with my new Necromancer character. So if I see a Skyshard or light from it, I ignore it. I am going to try and role play more my character a bit. Right now, I am alive. So unless I die while gaming or take the quest that leads us to the benefactor and I die during that story line, then I collect shyshards.

After all, isn't the skyshards suppose to be part of our soul? Just making sure if that is the case. If I am wrong, what do the skyshards represent?

Also like to know if anyone else does this? If not, what role play rituals do you do? My only role playing ritual I do is, if I see a Nirnroot plant, I kneel and pray before picking it up. I pretend it's a plant that is part of Nirn its self, so praying to the deities, mother planet, what not before taking it. One other thing I always do is when I make a new character, I go to the Gold Coast real early after I learn how to craft. I do the quest to start the Dark Brotherhood, so I can get the Blade of Woe skill. This way, for me, it adds immersion that I can "knock out" instead of kill people if I so choose to. After all, the "knocked out people" always come back to life. S easier for me, to see the game that way unless I think it's an actual assassination.

Another thing I started was, while I still do and take stuff from urns (felt bad but they always seem to replenish) is I pray and honour for what I am taking/stealing. After all, it's not doing the dead any good, but can be used to help the living.

Doing these few things, made me enjoy ESO even more now. Would like to see what everyone else does and maybe I can start them as well.

I roleplay drow necromancer, so I should be on the run from guards all the time and so I keep bounty up 95% of the time and sell stuff only in thieves dens. Also interface turned off while in daylight to emulate weakness of eyes to light.

i could be wrong but i thought skyshards were just part of Alkosh's blessings. the Prophet summons one after praying to alkosh to get the power to return home.

some of my rituals:

1) no weaving
2) no excessive sprinting especially during quests unless im in combat or in an urgent situation
3) change outfits frequently - between when you know you're doing combat, going into a city, after swimming a bunch, etc
4) play with a controller. it's more immersive.
5) in most cases play in first person
6) don't spend cp, makes the world a bit harder.

I always go straight to meet the benefactor on a new character to solve this issue

Don't forget to use food to stay that way! A simple bread for breakfast, but cook something good for lunch, and maybe a light soub for supper...

And also sometimes crouch in some suitable bushes to... uhm... take care of business.

Or that. Yeah. Die and come back as semi-undead vestige.

My only RP habit is I don’t ever agree to the DB quest (I don’t play evil chars). And I don’t like changing costumes in public.

I dont ride into doors or stand around on my mount while doing something with a Vendor.
