There is only one spoken language in all of Tamriel.

Don't dark elves have their own language?

If you hit a random guy magical armour and a weapon will magically appear on him, if you kill him it will disapear but you can get by touching other peoples stones.

If you insult someone and they attack you no one gives a ****.

As long as you sleep for an hour that arrow hole in the eye will be absolutely fine and the eye will be fully functional.

You can only sleep in beds or pieces of material on the floor.

Enemies can see you from 500 miles away.

The invisible orchestra can see danger before you and play music accordingly.

Cabbages can stop you from dying.

Gods are real.

Don't dark elves have their own language?

But they don't converse in it, only greet others, and occasionally swear.

You are the only person in the world who can actually jump.

Wraiths can drown.

It is impossible to climb trees.

Leaves do not fall. Ever.

Some slaughterfish are suicidal.

Enemy lairs are strictly unionized: When you wipe out all of the Bandits in a Bandit lair, the Bandit Union will send new members to resume operations, and prevent the Marauder, Necromancer, Vampire and Goblin unions from using it. Other unions do the same for their lairs/hideouts.

There doesn't have to be anything in the mug for you to drink.

I've learned that law enforcement share an unseen neural network which allows them to know when somebody somewhere has done something wrong.

The more you sell your product short, the more people will praise you for it.

Damn straight.

That when you fire one of YOUR arrows in a shop then pick it up you get arrested for stealing the arrow from the shopkeeper, or possibly for stealing it from yourself. :facepalm:

That although you have to open a door before walking through, it actually helps others if it is closed.

That a horse can balance on one hoof on steep slopes. Most quadrupeds can manage something similar with a bit of practice.

That people in a city only exist if you enter through the gate. The same seems to be true of doors, windows and a lot of other things. Once you're in a city, the rest of the world gets its turn to behave strangely.

That rocks and trees can fly, and square holes appear in the ground, if something called "masters" are missing.

People (or somebody) often leaves gold pieces in chests, even if they're left unguarded in an outside location.

Npcs always have about 15 arrows in their quiver, even if they've just fired 100 arrows at you.

Spoiler

NPC Adventurers (the orcs who we occasionally find in dungeons) don't really seem to go anywhere.

-Don't buy a house cheap. It's probably haunted.

-Even if you're the Arch Mage, and several newer members have joined the Guild. You shall be regarded as the 'newest addition'.

-People never age, and hair never grows.

This is the one that gets me, and Im surprised noone has posted it yet. (Least I didnt see it)

...

A suit of Armor Made out of GLASS is somehow more protective than a suit or armor made of Iron.

When you swing your sword and equip some arrows, everything you drop is instantly duplicated in front of you.

I learned how to live a game.

That a swimmer swims just as fast as a runner.

To me it feels like swimming is actually a bit faster.

Important people can NEVER die. NEVER. EVER.

Except when they shatter an amulet.

Beggars will ask you in a weak, cracking voice if you can spare a coin but when you ask about a rumor their voice is as strong as the mightiest warrior.

Guards will tell you that you have their ear but when you say bye they call you scum.

you don't want to be adored. EVER.

Here's one no one has said yet, or I think:
Once you go swimming and go under water, you come out perfect and dry right away.
You're hair never gets messed up- even when you're fighting.
For the girls, their eyeliner and lipstick never get smeared.
And there are only a couple of hair styles in existent.
:frog:

The children are a lie.
There are no seasons.
Nourishment isn't needed.
Trolls can't swim. (Or never follow me into water)
The bandits never hit the traps in any of the ruins.
There is only 1 type of aquatic life, it is prone to suicide.
You can run and jump off water, but can't climb up a steep hill.
You can make an amazing game and people will still find fault with it.

All Orcs and Nords(?) have the same voice.

Making a decent looking face can be a very tedious task.
