My attraction to the queen is not a secret. Kate Beckinsale is super hot and her voice is enough to get my motor running.

omg. I even watched the horribad underworld sequels to get my Beckinfix

It was over a year before i saw forcing locks.

laurajf · January 2017

I'm not very chatty, and I hate being forced into guilds just to sell stuff, of which I don't have an excess of stuff to sell on a daily or even weekly basis. I'm kind of a hoarder (just in case someday I need something I looted and well...unlimited crafting bag), so I mostly go guild-less.

A few times a year when I have a buildup of stuff I want to sell, I join a couple guilds at the same time, sell all my stuff on the traders and then quit the guilds, usually in the span of a couple of weeks, sometimes sooner if guild chat becomes overly annoying, which it always does.

I assume someday my name will become recognizable and nobody will allow me to join anywhere. Until then, I do what I have to do.

I secretly wish I could have my very own solo instance of the game but I think I'd eventually get lonely.

I get sidetracked by too many shiny things to worry about leveling up.

I can't decide on which race/class to level and believe we need more character slots. 50 would do for starters.

I never have enough skill points.

I have way too much sanded maple and iron ingots but I can't bring myself to part with any of it.

LOL. Apparently I had more confessions I didn't think of because you just basically mirrored my thoughts/actions in every one of your points.

MissBizz · January 2017

I didn't know the mobs had lines pop up around them when they were about to do a big attack that I could/should block or interrupt.. until like 2 months ago. I started playing April 2014.

I'm secretly attracted to Queen Ayrenn

I'm a casual player and this is the only one that applies to me and even then, there's nothing secret about it ...

not to be gross but isnt she like 16?

Not to get off topic but where i come from 16 is legal age for attraction between consenting people ...

FriedEggSandwich · January 2017

Funny theead op, made me chuckle. I was lvl25 before I discovered how to make use of my 2nd bar. I was v2 before I discovered armour sets, until then I would craft basic armour for myself and upgrade it to purple, no wonder doshia was difficult. Queen Ayrenn is ok but the Groundskeeper truly stole my heart. I'm sure I could think of more but I'm at work.

bovardjeff_ESO · January 2017

To be frank I too fell into the boat of in love with the queen. I believe she is in her 20s if her history is accurate she left or more accurately she vanished at around 16 and returned years later to take the throne. I can also say that I have an attraction to bosmer women keeping in mind that I am a high elf (no alts ... Male altmer templar for life!!!) .... I like shorter women I don't know why

I played this game exclusively in first person for almost a year...

I would say I play in first person 99% of the time. In my mind TES is a first person franchise and should be experienced as one. However, I don't PvP and I'm only solo questing still. If I face a large tough boss, dungeons/raids, and PvP in the future I will go third person.

bovardjeff_ESO · January 2017

I have to add that as a confession I despise all of the Monster helmets and anybody who uses them. So about 90% of the entire player population is on my hate list right now. And really the main reason for this is because I cannot wear the sets because they are ugly wearing a costume does not help as I know underneath the façade is an ugly helmet and shoulder piece. I will stick with my crafted armor's thank you very much.

Wiki says she's 28.

FluffyReachWitch · January 2017

(Ayrenn is amazing. One lore book says she disappeared when she would have been about 18. But a different lore book and a loading screen say she disappeared when she was about 8. Imagine. An 8-year-old sneaking away from Summerset.

)

My actual confession: I did not actually understand the combat mechanics very well until my partner and I decided to try the Reaper's March public dungeon and I wanted to stop being killed by its trash mobs. Needless to say, my first attempts at the Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Harborage quests took me a very long time.)

Narvuntien · January 2017

28 is super young for an elf though.... still that makes me feel okay about my not so secret love for the Queen.

I spend a lot of time on the forums to learn what the best gear and stratgies are... so I can avoid them and do something completely different.

The very idea of grinding fills me with dread, including for gear, I'd rather buy it but some set prices are excessive so I just find something that seems good.

I don't like dungeons, I have only played a few of them, trying to find 4 people then running through one seems like so much work. The idea of learning boss mechanics seems like work.

My first character is stealth archer because it's an Elder scroll game and they are always OP... right? Snipe snipe snipe.

I walked into a few public dungeons and just followed around high level players so I could complete the quest. Although recently I have actually got strong enought to solo some of these bosses.

I spend my time in PVP playing PVE on enemy resources and I struggle..

Thealteregoroman · January 2017

I actually took the time to read this post and it really creeped me out. Thanks

Liked I'm seriously creeped......and how it was written was like a cringy creepy psycho feel.

Jeepers......

Thanks......I am done.

checking out of reality right now.

Wrecking_Blow_Spam · January 2017

The queen of AD? Yuk.
Naryu Virian is the one for me, that moment I complimented her in her dress and she blushed

I have trouble creating characters that aren't Dunmer.[/b]

This is me. At least half of my characters are Dunmer, and I hardly play the others. I used to have three versions of the same character (Dunmer) because I couldn't decide what class would best fit my character's playstyle (I've played this char in every TES game, but mainly Morrowind-Skyrim) but I race and name changed one of them to.... Another Dunmer (it cost the same as buying appearance change+name change). Now, of that character, I just have a magblade main and a sorc I go on when I think about how much magblades suck. Then I think about all the achievements I have on my main, and I switch back until I realize how much magblades suck again. When I switch back to sorc and realize how much easier getting said achievements (specifically zone achievements) were on my magblade due to invisibility, I switch back, and the vicious cycle continues.

Except my male character is sexier than all other characters. Has the emo band punk vibe going for him

Liofa · January 2017

I want to race change to Imperial for passives (PvE Tank) but can't because I read Forgotten Realms . Even though it is a completely different realm and has different story , it made me fall in love with Dark Elves . Whatever RPG , I pick Dark Elf without thinking . My first character was a Dark Elf Stamina DK , dual wielding with a Bow on back bar . Didn't even read description on character creation screen nor the passives from internet . That character is my main and also the tank I mentioned .

A little bit of info about Dark Elves in Forgotten Realms . They have red eyes (also my character) , they can set stuff on fire (reason I picked DK) , great magicians and they excel at dual wielding .

I hover my mouse on the race change token almost every day but my love for my Dark Elf character is stronger than that

Seriously though , if you didn't read Forgotten Realms , you should ^^ I promise , you won't regret it .

Sheyta · January 2017

My main character is Breton stamblade [/b]

I know one cp300+ breton stamblade, with 50/50 mana/stam attributes. and it was made for casting more cloaks

should I add that in PVE main rotation was "cloak-incap-cloak-incap..."
oh, I have many wonderful examples due to that in one of my pve guilds we once recruit many new people, when ESO was on sale, lol.

one more about that stamblade above:

She made magsorc, because turns out stamblades do not enough damage. first question:
"–which skill should pick up?
– at the beginning choose one from every skill line you need to progress.
–but do I need them?
–maybe not.
–aha! Nah, I wouldn't take %thisoneskill% I don't want to

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree with this.

I wouldn't wear one if it was given to me.

All The Best

If someone chains a mob away from me in a delve/public dungeon/at a dolmen, I stop throwing out heals. You want the heat, you take it. Even if you are only level 5.

Dark Elves actually make great Stam DK's and are highly suited for the whole stam/fire/dual wield thing.

BlanketFort · January 2017

I'm jealous of everyone with titles/skins for having completed the harder content, because I'm terribly insecure of my skills and know I'll never be able to do what they've achieved.

I don't understand the point of glass cannons, mainly because I cannot imagine myself being dependent on someone else for heals.
Which is why,

.... I will never get max DPS because I will always sacrifice a bit of damage for survivability. And I feel terribly guilty when a Dungeon takes a bit longer than usual to finish.

I look down on tanks that do a terrible job of tanking, but secretly envy them for the courage to take on a scapegoat role. I know I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.

I don't have the patience to sell items at the appropriate prices, so I post my wares for 50-60% cheaper.

I got so much more excited than I probably should have been, when I finally soloed Fungal Grotto 1 on normal, without any deaths. Then felt sad, because it's probably not even half a big deal, for everyone else.

It was ages since the fire damage was changed to poison on sDK.
