    I'm secretly attracted to Queen Ayrenn

    I have several CP561 geared up characters so I'm no casual but I can definitely relate to that one.

    Maybe because I know it's her voice?

    This is an awesome thread, I wish I could become casual sometimes but my OCD screams min/max and efficiency.

    I've tried to "just enjoy" but I get caught up in "I could be making x gold per hour..."

    I've put people on ignore for having a character or @names that are so bad I don't want to ever interact with them.

    I still play Wow.

    I like the Red Diamond song and I sing it with a Khajiit accent.
    May all beings have happiness
    May they be free from suffering
    May they find the joy that has never known suffering
    May they be free from attachment and hatred

    I used to be into the hardcore trial scene but for the last couple months I just come up with every excuse not to do them like "that's too much work" or "I'm too tired and wouldn't be at my best." Lately all I do in ESO is mount training, writs, and work on making my characters look as amazing/cool as possible :D

    I solo dungeons because I'm afraid to group with anyone in case I let them down.

    I solo PVP cos I have to keep doing random AFK's due to wife/kids/dog/beer/bog/work

    This thread is very disturbing, but insightful nonetheless. Granted we all had to start from somewhere, and hopefully progressed as we spent more time playing ESO. However, some of the things listed here are so... So... Cringeworthy.

    After my wife had a c-section the baby went into that special room until she was ready to be kept in the room with my wife. I told my wife I had to get back to work pronto but instead went home to run some dungeons.

    Im going to Hell

    After my son was born (40 hour labor, blech), my wife was asleep w/ the baby.

    I PvPed in the hospital room.

    I'll be there with you.

    I quit a PvP guild when the GM sent out mail saying we begin our raids at 7 PM EST and wanted members to regularly attend.

    What?! Playing games on a schedule? No thanks, I'm a casual and attendance standards definitely conflict with RL which ALWAYS comes first.

    I keep talking in first person ingame and on TS (mainly playing a Khajiit right now of course).

    I answered multiple times to people that "no, I can't craft this set, I haven't researched enough traits", when the actual reason is that I was fishing and couldn't be bothered.

    I have a majority of argonian characters.

    I saw someone in Cyro between Chal and Bleakers. I was on mag NB, and only refreshed Crippling grasp from a distance. Poor dude did all the way in like 20 minutes.

    I have a character dedicated to ERP called "Pull-Many-Tails".

    I once did vMA in first person. And died. A lot.

    I farmed the bosses in Gold Coast repeatedly. After having about the same 4 motifs duplicated like 10 times each, I'm starting to think that -maybe- the other motifs can't be farmed on those bosses.

    I died in AA because I was swapping an ability and my character fell. RIP.

    I golded out an Inferno Staff of Agility 2 days before they announce the nerf of destro ult.

    I really thought I used 8 tempering alloy to upgrade that sword. Turn out it was 7. You know what happened.

    I gave away 2 of the 3 imperial motifs I had in one week for free, because I thought they were common. Never needed that gold anyway.

    Extra edit: I never managed to spell the name of that spider boss in CoH. Ruzozapalmaz, Rozu... Ruzu... Razozuzawhatever.

    Babies are great for gaming. Back when, I did the whole of Final Fantasy 7 in 4hr stints between 3am and 7am every night while bouncing my son with my foot.

    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.

    @Remag_Div
    That was me exactly. I always played TES games in first person. This was my first MMO (3 years later) and only picked it up because of the name. It wasnt until I started getting interested in end-game stuff that I realized how much of a disadvantage it was to be in first person.

    I still have thoughts of doing VMA in first person, just because. Haha

    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.

    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 B)

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

    I love those books. You can tell by my Dunmer's white hair :tongue:
    Morrowind and the Forgotten Realm books are the reasons that I started playing Dark Elves in every fantasy setting.
    With cold regards,
    Mythic

    Favorite Characters:
    Kilith Telvayn, Dunmer Telvanni Sorcerer (main)
    Kilith, Dunmer Magblade (old main)
    Vadusa Venim, Dunmer crafter (older main)
    Hir Hlaalu, Dunmer Warden
    Søren Icehelm, N'wah Warden
    Fargoth of Morrowind, Bosmer commoner

    I like to jump high from the cliffs. Many times i die, and continue doing anyway, i forget that my horse is not Pegasus.

    I like to time my dungeons solo runs, and my XP farm. All time that i am in the game need to be very well spended and efficient. When i play with a friend and they slow me down i get a little mad.

    I hate to teach things to people in game, specially in dungeons. Why people can't go to youtube and see the dungeon mechanics, or, how to do DPS instead of just spam light attacks. It drives me mad.

    Sometimes I think ZOS Devs live in an ivory tower.

    No they live in vWGT

    I set myself mini achievement goals each time I play. If I complete it, I'm happy. If not, just try again tomorrow. I ground out certain things because the way I play, requires certain passives and such

    I'm a tank. In group dungeons, when the dps/dd feels like storming in before I can even take a step to grab aggro, I yell out, "TAUNT IT!! TAUNT IT!!!! IT'S ON ME!!!!"

    Edit: Forgot to add this one:

    I press the spacebar repeatedly as I go through dungeons with other people.

    On my first toon (breton templar), I wore medium armor as a healer because I thought it looked cool.

    All my magicka toons are male and all my stamina toons are female... my therapist thinks it means something but I'm not sure.

    I don't like killing innocent NPC's, not because of any weird moral thing, but because I was a huge Assassin's Creed fan and don't want to desynchronize with my ancestor.

    When I was doing Quests in Wrothgar. If I came across someone killing things in a Dungeon that I had a quest in, I'd think to myself "gtfo my story!" or "gtfo my dungeon!" lol. This also lead me to doing most of Wrothgar Quests late at night/early morning lol.

    Oh single player content in a MMO is funny sometimes.
