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.

To this day he has this weird memory of a flower girl bring run through by some white haired guy.

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 reading this thread on the, erm, bog right now

@BlanketFort I remember when I soloed CoA (when there was only one) normal, in first person for the first time. I was so proud... of course the build sucked, but we all gotta start somewhere.

My confession is I will use better looking armor over BiS for vanity..

Looking good > meta

NightbladeMechanics · January 2017

4440 hours played on my main, 5 other max level characters, still solo queue for pledge dungeons and have less than 9k achievement points.

Not sure if that counts, but I tried.. lol

If I am making a female character, I can only stand Khajiit because they don't have a giantly awkward looking thigh gap and they can actually look muscular instead of this petite little girl. Can't have a toothpick tanking. However, my mag sorc tank would benefit from being an Altmer.

I'm vegan and avoid killing beasts (not including demons). I also refuse to level provisioning with any meat ingredients and I refuse to eat any animal products in game.

* I do my best to avoid harming khajiit NPCs and mobs unless I have too do it (when they are bosses or required for a quest). And I will always choose the option in quests that are the most favorable for khajiit involved in the quest unless that particular NPC is a real a-hole.

* 4 of my 5 characters look almost identical. The 5th is very similar too but he is male while the other are female. (They would look exactl identical if there was a way to save the models for your character and didn't have to redo it every time)

* 3 of my characters have names taken from the Lion King: Dra'Nahla my DK (named after Nala), Dra'Zhira (named after Zira, the villan in the second movie) and Dra'Kiahra (named after Simba's and Nala's daughter Kiara).

* I only have 2 characters who are 50, a NB and a DK

* I bought the mud ball memento for 15k thinking it was a good deal. I later found out people sell it for less than 10k. And I got 2 as a quest reward during the event.

* sometimes when I do quests and choose the wrong option I will abandon it and redo it.

* I have multiple times thought that an ally soldier NPC was an enemy and have attacked them (I know I can turn on "prevent atrack innocent" but I prefer playing without it)

Aren't we all? It's Kate Beckinsale.

KingYogi415 · January 2017

I didnt research a single trait for 9 months.

Used tons of columbine and every other flower while leveling alchemy.

I played for 3 months with combat cues off because I thought it reduced lag...

Cheers!

Arthg · January 2017

I have seven gold pieces of the infamously bugged Willow's Path set in heavy.

Wrubius_Coronaria · January 2017

Templars are the only class I always deleted before level 50. (I've deleted more than 10 templars now)
For keep my last templar created , I made her khajiit.
My ultimate goal for pvp is reach grand overlord. (I'm really close, I'm rank 46, grand warlord rank 2).
My main character is nightblade khajiit.
I save my alliance points until I become Grand overlord. (I have 27 millions ap actually).
I don't use any proc sets.
I decon armor sets just because I don't like the style sometimes.

AdamBourke · January 2017

In the week that One Tamriel was released, I did all of the remaining public dungeons while they were still easy.

I bought Vampire/Werewolf bites from the crown store.

I've been playing since Beta - and have only done two dungeons.

I only have two characters, and the second was just to get the PS4 trophies i'd missed due to PC-> Console transfer.

I agree regarding Queen Ayrenn... but also Naryu...

With work and what not, I have only one hour per night to play. Once I complete all my crafting writs for the day, I spend the rest of my time playing my lute and people watching. You can usually find me around 11 pm CT on top of the wagon next to the Davon's Watch entrance and guild trader on PC NA.

I hope to someday tour all major citues in the Ebonheart Pact and spreads my songs of triumph and despair.

See you around!

catalyst10e · February 2017

* I used to play skyrim on ps3 for hours... doing repeatable radiant quests, visiting old NPCs I traveled with, checking on the varies houses and just giving my character a "life" outside the main and story quests. when I upgraded to ps4, ESO took over that slot. So during down time when none of my guildmates are on, My character visits and checks in on NPCs, does repeatable quests in areas I really enjoy....

* If given the option of killing an NPC or saving them in a questline, I will always try to save them.

* I had never stepped foot in group dungeons/dailies until I was well over 300+ CP and still avoid doing them with strangers

* I care more about cosmetics than I do stats and so will always use crafted gear over farmed gear (except my kena shoulder which matched my armor nicely)

Myrrah · February 2017

i am normally a kind type of person. when i'm sneaking around stealing-i try to avoid killing the npcs cuz awww-that's sad. but if they tell the guards on me i will run n vanish until the guards go away and then sneak back JUST to blade of woe the tattle tale. i'm now suspicious of myself

Yes.

The OP is asking for confessions from casuals...

I look down on people who make threads intended to put down other players, or convince them to put themselves down for his/her enjoyment,

It's self-depreciation for the sake of humor.

People volunteer their confessions because they don't take themselves too seriously and they want to make other people laugh. It's about having a good time.

There's enough evil in the world to crusade against. This however is not one of those evils. Relax and enjoy yourself.

That would be self deprecation not depreciation. I guess self depreciation would be that other thing where you make yourself cheaper

I'm not so secretly attracted to just about every khajiit npc I meet. I may have a problem.

I guess I was too dry, but I was trying to do that

As for another one: When I see someone repeatedly spamming for sale in zone chat, sometimes I chat something completely random in the middle of it to see if anyone notices.

I'm using an iPhone. Autocorrect doesn't split hairs.

Stania · February 2017

-In every RPG I play as a single character. I make others just to quickly get back to my first one.
-I play almost only as a male character.
-I've deconstructed a lot of good dropped gear (like ebon) because they don't look that nice on my char as my crafted sets.
-Never touched PvP or been in Cyrodiil.

Chirru · February 2017

I walk everywhere because that makes people report me as a Bot.

When they ask if I am a Bot I tell them: I am an Alchemist and not a Botanist

dem0n1k · February 2017

When I first saw a player wearing a Valkyn Scoria helm & shoulder, which was coincidentally when Craglorn was released, I jumped to the conclusion that it was gear crafted with the nirnhoned trait & went on a mad mission to get a nirnhoned helm so I could look like that cool flame guy! :P So disappointed when I found a nirnhoned helm in a guild trader & it did not look like Valkyn Scoria.

When my buddy & I (magsorc & DK) first went to Cyrodiil & got killed by an enemy nightblade using cloak.. we both jumped to the conclusion that this is what vampires using mist cloak look like. We would warn each other to stay on the look out for vampires 'going into the mist' LOL! When eventually a zone player told me it was a nightblade ability, I immediately created a new nightblade for Cyrodiil.

Well at least it's not the argonians.

I chose Twilight over Clannfear because she's sexy. I would rather die next to a sexy woman beating her wings than continually live with dino the dinosaur.
