i change my outfit when I do thieves guild/dark brotherhood quests

...Because I went straight to the USMC recruiter office right after high school. That's why I do what I do, when I do it.

Wow, that takes me back.

I change outfits on my characters to fit the area/temprature I'm questing in. I also like to put on a costume so they wear something closer to normal clothes when doing writs or spending a longer time in a town.

I thought that was normal I just can't watch someone running through snow and ice with short pants and a thin shirt only.

When I make a new character, I always play whatever the immediate tutorial is.
If said character does not loot a blue or better recipe/motif book/pattern, I reroll them because I believe their "luck stat" to be too low.

I do the same. In some games I have outfits/costumes specifically for cold areas because watching my characters run around in short sleeves in snow makes me feel cold. In ESO I haven't got anything especially for that purpose, but I tend to use something like the warden costume.

Especially my main char has several different clothes (be it outfits, disguises or costumes): A lighter formal outfit if he stays in towns for a longer time, a sturdier one for travelling, one for really hot climates and one for cold, icy climates. And a few others for different occasions.

What always bothers me: If he has to travel between different climates very often for some daily quests... I'm always torn between taking the time to dress him in his winter clothes even if he's only in the cold for like 10 minutes, or watching him freeze

I'm the same. It's actually something I started in Morrowind - I'd carry around a set of regular clothes to swap to in towns because my character just looked so out of place in their armour. (And I think I only started that in Morrowind because it was one of the first games I played where you could both see your character in that much detail and customise their clothing. In older games you either couldn't tell or didn't have any choice, or both.)

In ESO I like to make sure each character has a range of options for different activities and occasions, like less formal stuff for when they're at home or blending in with commoners, more fancy options for formal occasions or meeting royalty or whatever, ones I use like disguises to make them look like a pirate or bandit or whatever and I try to make sure it matches the weather and terrain too. (Even my khajiit will wear closed toed boots in some places, because she wouldn't want to touch whatever's on the ground...or the ground itself.) I even got both the tavern singer's dress and the Bleakrock dress which are almost identical because they dye differently, so one is much fancier than the other. I change their hair too, like putting long hair into a pony tail if they're going into a cave or delve where I think it would catch on things or get in the way.

For me, it was even "worse" with Morrowind than with ESO. I normally lived in Ienas Sarandas' old house in Ald'ruhn (before joining house Telvanni and finally moving into my own tower), and had all wardrobes, chests and sometimes even barrels stuffed with clothing (robes and skirts mostly) until they were full Which is funny, since I don't care that much for clothing in real life (as long as it's clean and fits the occasion).

The only thing which I collected even more obsessively were books.

I guess I'd do that too, but unfortunately the choices for male chars are a bit limited.

@Syldras Trust me, it's not. I've seen so many characters that should have gotten frostbite in awkard places

I train mounts when first logging in because I always forget to do so before logging off. Is that what you mean?

I have to log off each of my characters in specific places.

My Wood Elf Magika Necromancer, Elsandrah, logs off inside her home (Serenity Falls Estate), usually near the fireplace on the first floor.

My Orc Stamina Nightblade Werewolf, Jhania, logs off inside the guest house on the second level of the barn at my Necromancer's house. (She doesn't sleep in the main house because being a werewolf she wanders at night and doesn't want to disturb the household. She also feels uncomfortable in such a fine home, and plans to get her own small home soon.)

My High Elf Magika Sorcerer Vampire, Annalyssa, logs off inside her home, Proudspire Manor, but not in any particular room.

For some reason that makes no sense, none of them log off in their bedrooms.

Anyone else here who feels uncomfortable if their char falls down a cliff or any other place with a high altitude? No matter if 1st or 3rd person view, no matter if main char or some rarely played alt - I just can't look. Actually I have to close my eyes until it's over Already had that in Skyrim. And I'm not at all afraid of heights in rl, which makes it even weirder.
