Do you ever log your characters out in odd places to surprise you when you next log in?

Do you log out your characters in weird places as sort of a prank on yourself when you're in some out of the way place?
Sometimes I'll put a character on a cliff in Eyevea, or in a box in Khenarthi's Roost, or way down by Bravil in Cyrodiil and every single time I'm surprised when I log back in.
My first character I stuck way out in the ocean in NE Vvardenfell because I saw a ship with a rat on it just about where the slaughterfish begin. With 14 characters - even though most hang out by The Bequeather in Craglorn for writ turn-ins, I still occasionally find a reason to be out in the middle of nowhere.
Even though ESO doesn't reward it I can't help exploring so sticking alts in weird places so they have a nice scene to view when next I log them back in is a nice surprise. I have lots of odd screenshots from this admittedly bizarre hobby.

✭✭✭✭✭NoNo, but I know some people do. You can spot them complaining on the forum that they can't log in and blaming it on ZOS.4 -

You're thinking of Cyrodiil, not out of the way places. If you can get into a place it's not a problem to load back in later. A long time ago they seem to have resolved the Z-axis problems on load-in we used to have.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭NoNot intentionally, but I sometimes log onto an alt and have absolutely no memory of why it is where it is.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche4 -

Sometimes when I log in standing in an Altmer town, I can't tell which one and get disoriented, though.Shadow hide you.0 -

I got lost the first time I logged in the Anvil Outlaw's Refuge, but... it was pretty dark down there.Classes that don't need any class ability nerfs: Nightblades, Dragonknights, Sorcs, Templars, Wardens.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yolokin SwaggonbornSometimes I am surprised by where I left my character.
Not because I planned it. I am truly puzzled as to why I was there.

That is truly a great way to log in.
I oftentimes visit houses of endgame pvers I barely know, and befriended years ago, and crouch where they won't notice me right away and watch them.6 -

✭✭✭YesEven since posting this I realized I did this to myself, but this one alt I'd logged off in some Dark Brotherhood quest mini-locale as it has lots of nodes to harvest and not many people coming through there.

Jiandao✭✭✭NoI don't really log out anywhere in particular, but I always try to log out of alts next to a stable so that when I log back in I remember to train.1

auronessb16_ESO✭✭✭YesWhen I was playing in Cyrodil, I'd always log out in a castle. It was always a guessing game if the castle would have stood the whole time or I would load back at the Gates.0

If you log out in a PvE instance in Cyrodiil, like an Inn by Weyland Priory or a cathedral or whatnot you'll still be where you logged out later, as opposed to being kicked back to queue all over again or perhaps at your Alliance starting area.1 -
Muramasa89✭✭✭NoI log in too much for it to be a surprise and if I do eventually drift away from ESO, I don't want to come back and have the panic of thinking I got hacked.0

Sixsixsix161✭✭✭Yes
Yes, but to me it doesn't matter.
I log out wherever I am around 9 pm, which normally is the end of playing day for me.
So, on top of a mountain, inside a delf/dungeon, etc.
Wherever.
