    Little angry
    I wouldn't be especially upset about the game...
    But we'd certainly be having a long talk about why she did it.

    I mean, there's levels there. For one, it'd be hard to trust her with my things afterward. I mean, yeah, it's only virtual stuff, but it shows that she's little respect for the things which I value.

    But on the other side, if this came out of nowhere, then it probably means there's been a problem in our relationship for a while that I'd been ignoring; and that would be far more upsetting than losing some pixels.

    To me it would show they didn't respect me, which would mean my breaking up with them. People who respect each other don't do things like that. You can't have a healthy relationship if your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend is willing to do stuff like that to you.

    this. if SO is feeling neglected, one would hope that they are mature enough to vocalize it and discuss it with you, instead of passive aggressively damaging your stuff - virtual or otherwise. luckily, both my SO and I talk before acting out AND if there is a problem with priorities - correct aforementioned priorities. but.. my SO and I are also both gamers, so we have been known to wait until whatever group activity was over, before asking for whatever outside of the game (also the reason why I schedule vast VAST majority of my group based activities, and make sure other priorities are taken care of first) its a balance.

    but seriously.. passive aggressive character deleting *** means that they will likely do something like this to you outside of a video game as well and do you honestly want to be with someone like that? to clarify - what I would be upset about is that they went behind my back and damaged something of mine. doesn't matter whether its deleting video game characters or throwing away a t-shirt they didn't like or any number of things i hear people do to each other, because apparently talking is too hard.

    Why does the poll ask if a GIRL deleted the characters? Contrary to popular myth, some girls with boyfriends and husbands play too.

    My husband wouldn't even know how to log into my ESO let alone delete my characters.

    Yes...Im a girl. Shocking I know.

    If ANYONE deleted my characters, yea Id be fit to be tied.

    I would probably thank her for freeing me at this point. After more than three years of this game, witnessing all of the neglect, corporate greed, development myopia, and seeing Zenimax take Bethesda's beloved TES franchise and dismantle it for cash, it would be a much needed wake-up call that there are better things to do with my time and money then play a game where the Key Players at ZOS have ZERO respect for the will of the community.

    I know, right? I'm a girl, too. Some guys think that females are only a tiny minority of gamers, when studies have shown we're about half of all gamers.
    I used to have a link to such a study, but my computer died a couple of weeks ago and I lost all my bookmarks. (But now I have an awesome new computer, so yay. ... And now I finally at long last have a computer that can handle Fallout 4, which is the game I'll be getting next.)

    If my BOYFRIEND (since let's be inclusive here lol) or my apache helicopter, deleted my characters I would be pissed but start again because I love the game. He wouldn't do that though because he plays it too.

    If my significant other had to take such a step, it would mean that ESO has become such a significant part of my life.
    On one hand, no video game should become THAT significant, but on the other hand, if it has become that significant, it means that there is something wrong somewhere, and my "other" isn't as "significant" anymore as he used to be. On top of that, such a brutal, respectless way from his part to "deal with the problem" would mean he's not someone worth sharing everyday life with.
    So the conclusion would be that I'd get rid of both the game and the not-so-significant other.

    Valid question, but if you take cliché references, deleting chars would be a typical girl attitude. A guy would throw the computer or the console out of the window.

    Honestly I just answered as if they said "significant other" or another neutral term like that. I'm 100% sure this is something my ex-boyfriend would have done if I gave him the chance back when we are together, since he always reminded me of how everything I liked and every game I played was complete garbage.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I would be speechless, confused, shocked afterwards. Then I will be angry, yelling and screaming inside of me, that I probably deserved it, then crying all my hard work, stare some more. After that a thought, then a wicked grin, at least I still have my secret account that she not knows about. Happy, relieved all is good. Then again I have no one to delete my characters sadly.
