Down time distractions : things that bemuse you in ESO.

Catmophere · October 2015

Anything that you find quirky/funny/just amusingly odd to you personally in ESO? Any strange moments in game play? Amuse your fellow downtime sufferers...

For example:

I'm finding it highly amusing to be playing a game where I value finding garlic...

Umad_BrO · October 2015

Haha!! I never realized how hard it could be to find garlic until I needed it

I enjoy (don't hate me please) picking the void blooms and leaving the worms

@Umad_BrO May Molag Bal take you...

Volkodav · October 2015

Ya know,..thinking on it,you're right.Garlic,..when you want Garlic,it isnt always an easy thing to find.
*looks through her cupboard for any sign of Garlic*
I know I had a clove of it somewhere.Wait,..the fridge!!!!

I enjoy the random encounters. Was searching for Lorebooks and came across some isolated house in the snowy peaks of Cyrodiil. An odd Nord couple lived there to my surprise (thought this place would be vacant). Upon talking to the wife, she said her husband was working up the courage every day to take an ice bath outside because he believes it's the answer to longevity.
When you speak to him he finally exclaims to his wife he's about to do it, he's about to jump in the ice and starts doing jumping jacks in front of the fireplace.
I love encounters like this. Makes the world feel alive and worth exploring.

This is why I play non-vet campaigns

LOL, the cruelty of ZOS towards the people of Tamriel in regards to food is monstrous.

We're going around stealing every provision we can get our claws on.

The citizens of Tamriel had to turn to peddling skooma for one apple that costs them 150 coins.

Watching waves of enemies crashing against my shield like waves on rock. An endless tide of fotm's confused and disorientated as to why their search engine builds fail them.

I found Imp Stool for the first time laying around yesterday. I had seen someone asking for it once on chat and honestly thought he may be trolling. -_-

...that Queens Eye girl outside the Manaion in Vulkhel Guard (OK, voice acting also used elsewhere):

I walk by, she sez "Gratings!"

Wish I'd have voice talk, too, so I could reply with "Good grid to you, too!"

I think its "stool" as in "chair" rather than the other option........

Been there too. It's located close to one of Cyro treasure spots. Yeah, Cyro has lots of interesting places. I wish there was more rewards for exploring.

I found a 'A Nereid stole my husband' poem. I still read it every now and then from my collections. It makes me giggle.

Lol, it didn't look like a chair to me, but maybe. :P Perhaps more research will help.

LOL. I can see myself making that mistake if I was very tired.

I like the one house in Cyrodiil where the Necromancer has brought back his wife xD and she's in there sweeping the floor xD

Why so you can teabag without taking a Meteor to the privates?

So true. All I got out of that huge journey was a lorebook and a few seconds of amusement. It was still pretty cool, but I feel like they could do so much more with the exploration in this game.

Naw man, I don't teabag. But yeah, it's so good not taking a thousand meteors in a single fight. In fact, I haven't received any in BwB

FortheloveofKrist · October 2015

A group of for of us just bumped into a lone enemy on our side of the sewers, beat him into squishy mush and then kept firing at him for a few more seconds until we all realized he was already dead... And then someone dropped a Meteor on his head.

Injury + Insult

Honestly, one of the things that bemuses me about ESO is some of their animations. Like when I'm using rapid strikes or puncture and I have an axe in my hand.

The animation looks kind of stupid.

That Argonian trying to sell all of his valuables to get out of Craglorn mere steps from a wayshrine.
That quest where you decide to take down the guillotine in wayrest. I've played that quest a year ago and the guillotine is still there. Union workers FTW.
And, of course, this:

If you ride a goofy looking thing like that into battle, you better be one mega bada$$ in combat.

When an Argonian Guard says "You're intentions are not moist" to me while I'm sneaking around.

I fell off my chair laughing.

Moist Intentions sounds like a great Argonian Name.

I wish they had better passives. So many good names.
