    Hehe, I would be too much immersed in the game when I would go on a visit and start searching people's desks and wardrobes before speaking to them. :)

    When you don't have anything funny to post here about a real life experience where you tried to do something you could only do in ESO, because you haven't stopped playing ESO in order to have one.

    You start using TES phrases, like "n'wah" for people you don't like or "sun on my scales" for positive situations.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    Oddly enough I was driving home from work the other day and saw a flower beside the road that looked just like Jute.

    Yes! Yesterday I was driving home and saw a peculiar rock by a tree and immediately thought, "Rune!" And, yes, I secretly hoped it would be an Aspect or Potency before realizing this was real life, and not in game! lol

    I cought myself looking intensively on some old dusty crates and thinking "probably some provisioning stuff" :)
    And a second one (I know it's no ESO, but i miss it a lot): "No lollygagging" - this is what I sometimes say to my co-workers on coffee break :D

    I caught myself walking past a field of flowers and wishing I could harvest them, like in the game. And then I realized that I CAN harvest flowers in real life, too. So I did.

    My husband was playing on the playground with our daughter and said he didn't have enough stamina.
    My first response was to think he should put more attribute points in it.
