My dog knows when I'm playing ESO

I'm not joking. He doesn't like it either.
I'm not sure how he knows. As soon as combat starts, he's gone. Even if I play with headphones, turned down low, he soon runs out of the room. He doesn't do this for any other video game I play. Only ESO.
My hypothesis is the combat. Something he picks up on. Even if I don't get worked up, don't change my breathing, try to maintain a zen like state, it still doesn't work. He'll lay there, snoozing away, until I engage in combat. Then poof, he goes outside. Later dude. You're scaring me, lol.
Dogs are amazing.
So there it is, ESO combat mechanics, Siberian Husky approved.

Also, if I get mad/tense during ESO my dog comes to me and wants attention. I assume he wants to comfort me when I'm tense

✭✭My dog uses his paw to move my hand from the controller to his head.....I think it's time he moves out tbh2 -
babedenny✭✭✭✭He also uses his head to lift my hand off the mouse/keyboard when he wants a walk. He's relentless on this. Truly though... something about me playing ESO freaks him out, lol. He's not even afraid of thunder and lightning. He sleeps through it.

There really needs to be an in-game emote for that.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.

Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.

CasNation✭✭✭✭✭Maybe the combat music has some high frequency sounds in it that you can't hear very well, but really bother your dog. Like a dog whistle.
That would explain why he is only bothered during combat, but not at other times, when combat music isn't playing.PC NA AD

✭I have a really bad habit of cracking my knuckles like every 15-20 minutes, and my parents have a dog that reeeeally doesn't like the "popping" sound it makes. Whenever I go over to visit and I crack my knuckles, she turns her head sideways at me and looks confused and worried. Sometimes, she will even walk up to me and sniff my hands, as if to check that they are okay.1 -

I'm thinking it could be something along these lines. I know that I tend to tense up when combat starts, and I know he can sense that.0 -

✭My dog stares at me. Just keeps staring for 45 minutes straight. As if to say, "Really? REALLY?!?"
Best to take the dog for a brisk walk and tire him/her out before gaming. Then I don't get the stink eye.

Maybe it's breed dependent. My Siberian also leaves when I start the game.

I KNOW! Is your dog older than 18? yes! I thought so! You can clearly see an 18+ symbol before you buy the game!!!!
Okay... Just kidding... It's still really weird that your dog responds only to ESO and not something simmilar looking to that.Edited by Jelle_Zwiers on May 26, 2016 10:03PM1 -
babedenny✭✭✭✭I think ESO combat elicits a reaction in me that other games don't, and he picks up on it immediately. Could even be heart rate. Who knows with dogs, lol.
