Is it just me that cannot physically move on from a zone until I’ve completed all the quests, grabbed all the skyshards & found all the points of interest? It’s like ESO OCD!

    I'm the same. I think it's a completionist thing for me.

    At launch most of my friends were in Eastmarch by the time I was finishing up Stonefalls. I was even trying to get all the fish before I left but sadly they were bugged back then.

    Pretty much the same although I extend it to a couple zones at a time for variety.

    I have 4 lvl50 characters, and all of them have fully completed EP zones quests and delves/publics.
    One of the two of us definitely has gone mad. It only remains to define whether this one is the whole world or just me.

    That's awesome. I've done it with two of mine, the rest I levelled via dungeons but need to go back and do it.

    I keep telling myself if ZOS brings a Necromancer class I will replay the whole game and 100% every zone again, this time including Eidetic Memory (which I haven't on my main).

    Completionist mentality. I'm totally there with you.

    I started out that way but then I was advised to not do quests until I hit CP levels, and that leaves some skyshards locked, and I most often have trouble finding someone to help me with public dungeons or WBs, so I had to get over it just to keep from being constantly frustrated. It bothers the HECK out of me that some skyshards are gated behind quests, though!!

    lol same here, I got to the Alik'r desert on cads silver. I noticed I missed a Dolmen in Rivenspire, I had to stop what I was doing to go complete it real fast.

    call it completionist all you want, it's OCD.

    And not me, personally I finished cadwell's gold/silver back in 2015, at which point I did pretty much clear out all the major quest lines, zone by zone. But that was more because it's easier to keep track of what has been done at that point, than any sort of "inability" to move past something left undone.

    I am working on my 5th character now, and I pretty much skip questing in general now. I casually do quests in between dungeon/delve runs. If i'm playing a (fake) tank or (fake) healer I pretty much don't get time to do quests in between queues.

    I skip all the things, its fun to go back to a zone to grab a survey map and see something you missed

    Me too. I installed addons to show skyshards and uncompleted quests for exactly this reason - I keep them off most of the time and then when I think I'm done with a zone I turn them on so I can check before I move on.

    And yet somehow I managed to completely miss the Bonesnap Ruins dungeon in Stormhaven. Had to stop doing quests in Sentinel to go back for that one.

    This is the main reason I like One Tamriel. Before I was always over the recommended level for whatever I was doing, so combat was always easy and I got useless drops and little/no XP. I didn't care about the XP, but when every fight is easy the game gets boring.

    Yeah, the only zone I didn't clear on my main was Reaper's March as that was the very last zone in gold. By then I just wanted to gouge my eyes out. Did the main quest and got shards, but the rest I'll never go back too.

    Same here - each zone must be fully completed (bar fishing) before I will move onto the next. I have "Explorer", "Hero of Tamriel", "Savior of Nirn" on 3 characters now..... Those achieves include the Cyrodiil delves and dolmens and quests.

    Luckily this is easier on Xbox EU due to it being the quietest server, and having almost completely dead campaigns.

    I have every single mages guild lorebook, and on one character, almost every single eidetic memory book/note.

    The only thing I have yet to do on any char is get every single skyshard. I have *almost* all of them, but am missing 2 in IC and 2 in the Sewers on the most complete character.
