A few of my favorite (ESO) things

Minyassa · July 2017

I feel like I should do something positive and upbeat today so here are some things in ESO that really make me smile, and not in a mean or snarky way at someone else's expense:

Just looking at my favorite mounts

The cute little things some of my pets do if they sit there getting bored

Getting a new dye unlocked

Being able to make a piece of gear that someone is looking for

The sound and lights of leveling up

Running into a random stranger in a delve whose skills and mine complement each other and we end up partnering through the whole thing just sort of naturally falling into a team (I especially love this!!)

Learning how to handle something I wasn't sure I could do, like scary dungeon mechanics

The tuneless, cheerful humming of a Twilight

The whimpery crabby noises that someone with the Scholar personality makes on occasion

Chubby toons

NPCs accidentally doing just the right emote at the right time to look like they are commenting on local action

Peacatcher · July 2017

Getting a purple tannin from refining some materials

Hearing a skeleton break out of stun

I was misled by the title - could you possibly rephrase your list of favourite things so that they could be sung to the tune of the Julie Andrews song?

Pet animations
And unlocking new dyes
Crafting new weapons
And harvesting fleshflies
Having a twilight that hums and sings
These are a few of my favourite things

Got you started

Megabear · July 2017

Male Orcs in wedding dresses.

coop500 · July 2017

Seeing fellow Werewolves, triple that if a pack of them

max_only · July 2017

That one male voice in character selection that fits my Bosmer sons so well

Seeing another Nightblade Tank

clearing boss fights with 3 people after the whiner leaves.

I wish I could click on Awesome a few more times.

Successfully pickpocketing a particularly obnoxious NPC (bonus points if it's a guard)

Slaying the daedra
With friends in hard dungeons
Netches and skeevers
And killing worm cultists
Grouping with guildies - the knowledge it brings
These are a few of my favorite things

When the chain breaks
When the proc hits
When I crack a chest
I simply remember my favorite things
And it makes me feel the best

Nightblade tank deserves an awesome!

Your last favourite thing is one of mine too. It's often easier when someone difficult leaves. Maybe that's because I heal and it's easier to heal less people. Sometimes if they don't leave I let them die so they're not sucking resources from the team. That's a particular favourite thing of mine as they get a lesson out of it.

FloppyTouch · July 2017

farming it's a nice break from pvp and pve stuff

Azurya · July 2017

the cyrodil loading screen while playing the Elder Scrolls Loadingscreens

oaflet · July 2017

My main character's pet cat looks identical to my cat. Sometimes when game-kitty meows I look around because I'm not sure whether it was the ESO pet or my actual cat

SantieClaws · July 2017

Yarn balls and sweetrolls
And ev-e-nings fishing
Drinking and dancing
And for pretty hats wishing
Anniversary boxes, free daedric thrones and purple rings
These are a few of the favourite things

Yours with paws
Santie Claws

MarrazzMist · July 2017

Seeing lonely player sitting, enjoying the sunset on distant beach.

Finding group of roleplayers chatting away in inn. I usually grap a drink and listen awhile.

Farming wood and other materials in my favourite areas, it's the best time for scenary.

When my new house is starting to look like I hope it would.

Feeling of concentration, when running trials or with a group in Cyrodiil.

Finding anything even semi-rare, blue treasures while thieving, housing mats, gold tempers from writs and refining, crafting motifs from quests.

Titansteele · July 2017

Hearing a Nirnroot singing just for me.

tunepunk · July 2017

The sound of storm master set when you hit something.

The growl of a Troll being slain.

The tension of sneaking around alone in vet dungeons looking for chests.

When my canary is going crazy and start to sing when she hears the birds in the game.

I like the above too but bolded are my favourites.

Hearing my Argonian laugh.

Making YaYa, my wolf mount howl.

That crazy shuffle dance, can't recall which one it is now.

The sheer ludicrous over-poweredness of Secluded Glove.

The over-the-top sexual innuendo in The Lusty Argonian Maid

@VoodooPlatypus I cant awesome enough haha

Defeating a particularly tough boss - then teabagging him/her!

Completing particularly hard or tedious achievements, especially if they come with a title and/or dye.

Finding the nightmare in the Crown Store - my main has always ridden a nightmare since his first incarnation in Morrowind, modded in by me for each of the games. I just wish he could ride bareback, as the nightmare is his friend, not his servant.

Dwemer spider mount - I love the silly thing to bits! Some people hate it, but it's actually more in-keeping with the lore than the robot crate mounts, as the spider machines are seen everywhere in Tamriel, all sizes and fulfilling many different roles.

All the cats.

Getting revenge kills in PvP.

Defeating a player who is more experienced and skilled than I am - for me it is a matter of pride. I am mostly a very average PvPer.

Finally getting to run vMoL and getting the skin will be a big plus for me - I want the skin to complete the look of one of my Khajiit characters.

That one is my favorite mount. I just never get enough of seeing it. The clatter it makes...I had to get used to, but now it's fast enough not to be annoying. xD I adore its little jacking-up maneuver when you hit the space bar!

Farscape76 · July 2017

I never fail to get a chuckle out of the drunks who are arguing over the lyrics to the song they are singing in Windhelm.

my cute khajiit character
my kitty pet and kitty mount
khajiit speak (this one...)
the beautiful natural sceneries of Tamriel
the nice atmosphere in the crowded cities
dueling (even if I die mostly, if it is not a low level

)
doing the undaunted dungeons over and over for 2000 times and still enjoying it
getting my build and gear complete
killing monsters

I always say it: screw the bugz and lagz, I just love this game ♥♥

Ulo · July 2017

Nice topic, anyway

The Dark Brotherhood, seeing fellow assassins in the Sanctuary, people using the Blade of Woe in towns and cities always warms my heart

Doing a dungeon with a pug group that still goes really smoothly, it's rare but it does happen

About a week ago i was fishing in Craglorn and this other guy started fishing at the same spot as me and every time one dried up we would both run to the next one and keep fishing. Not sure why but i really enjoyed this, it was just so natural and calm, caught some good fish too!

Saving a fellow players life, in PVE or PVP there are those moments when someone is in peril and i can rush in, just in time, and pull them back from the brink of death to fight another day.

Oh, and most important, when another player saves my life. You guys rule

Mettaricana · July 2017
