    It is a perfectly valid tactic to repair the walls as 5 tonnes of rock is being launched at it every 10 seconds or so

    I love the scene at the end of the Ebonhart Pact quest in Eastmarch. The argonian ambassador pulls the Mnemic Egg out of her pocket and places it on the table, as a symbol of argonian loyalty to the Pact. The egg is at least twice her body size!

    You can kite a battle into a group of green NPCs and get zero help or kite that battle into red NPCs and get a world of hurt. Watch where you kite!

    There are no children in Tamriel. Just like in TES IV:Oblivion, everyone comes into the world fully grown.
    This must be EXTREMELY painful for the mothers.

    If your crafting a new set of armor, you will be short one mat to make the final piece. So you know, no 5 piece set bonus for you until you farm some.

    Nothing dropped is worth breaking a Crafted Set.

    If you need a certain type of ore or mat, you can't find any. But, before that or after that time, it is all you see as you go across the map.

    There are no Aspect Runes.

    90% Chance of Success means 100% Failure when improving a Traited Item.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Our hero courageously descended into the dark catacomb to confront the depraved creature which had terrorized the village for so long. As he heroically strode through the misty tunnels, he rummaged through the ancient urns along the way, for he had a craving for fine cuisine, and correctly surmised that the long-dead inhabitants of the catacomb had left some magically preserved fresh ingredients he might utilize in his post-slaughter cookout.

    ...And embarrassing to breast feed too. Come to think of it why do the Argonians have mammary glands?

    I subscribe to the theory that they are fat reserves needed for laying such large eggs like they do. That, or gamers are pervs... ;)

    Racist milk-( :# I forget the phrase.) Obviously humans have bred with every intelligent creature in Tamriel. That's probably been good for the DNA genome with strong diversity and certainly advantage with armor fitting all races and sizes--great technology ability to do this.

    We can summon mighty storm atronachs and meteors from space, but we haven't yet learned how make a simple levitate spell.

    (yeah yeah, "game design" and all that. Skyrim didnt' have leviate either did it? I didn't play it nearly as long as Morrowind.)

    In Tamriel, children of interracial relationships retain the DNA of the mother. I'm very certain I read this in an ESO lore book. That would explain why there's still perfect racial hygiene thousands of years after ESO, when Skyrim takes place.

    Was it one of the Baldur's Gate games that had levitate in it if ES never has? One of them did and it was fun to use at times levitating up to some inaccessible ledge to find a chest. As an adventurer and action genre I just love in-game climbing challenges--more so then fighting challenges. This thought has brought back a lot of old game memories.

    Morrowind had levitation and you were even able to make eg enchanted ring for constant levitation so you could fly everywhere.

    I'm reminded of a moment at the beginning of Morrowind, where a wizard suddenly falls down from the skies and dies. I think he had invented 'jumping shoes' or some such, which enabled him to make giant leaps, though he was too absent-minded to foresee how problematic the landing might be. I wish ESO had a few bizarre utility things like that.
