You know you play too much TES when...

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 11:52 am

I sometimes use phrases/obscure words NPC use.

CONCERNING THIS...
CONCERNING THIS...
CONCERNING THIS...

It's a pretty decent phrase on its own, but I just can't stand the inflections used by the male Bretons when they say it. Not to mention they say it every time they refuse to tell you something. I know Oblivion has limited dialog, but it becomes maddening after a while. :read:

When asked in ur geography test "What is the name of the largest city in your home country?" u answer "The Imperial City".

When u walk straight into buckingham palace and start a conversation with the queen while she is on the throne.(I live in england by the way :D)

When u walk straight into someones house and ask them about "rumours".

When u start offering hotels 10 gold pieces for a room.

When u start trying to open doors without touching them.

When u ask someone for directions to the town castle.

When u sneak into someones bedroom while their sleeping, and try to svck blood out of their neck.

When u see a white building in the distance and think its an ayelied ruin.

When u are talking to someone u visualise a circle next to their head which is split into boast, coerce etc.

When u see someone uv never see before u automatically start a conversation with them.

Rather, when you mod a flashlight into the game, and then carry that instead of a torch.

Actually, you pretty much can pay to get rid of your crimes. It's called BAIL.

...You play the "Battle Theme" from Morrowind just as you're getting ready to fight someone.
...You ask for Mudcrabs at the local Red Lobster or anyother seafood joint.
...You tell your local psychologist that you have a deep fear of Cliff Racers.
...You try to use speechcraft or "Bribe" on the local Police in hopes of getting their disposition high enough to let you out of a ticket or anyother crimes you've committed.
...You hope you're athletic enough to survive a 5 story fall.

You know you've been playing TES too much when you...

... go kill someone and then you think you can pay 40 gold pieces to get out of it.
... sneak around your house.
... always move close to a thing and look at it for 3 seconds before picking it up.
... frequently say "by the nine" or "s'wit".

When you cast an invisibility spell to get out of embarrassing situations...
When you try charming the ladies with a charm spell...
When you try using a fire spell to cook your food...
When you scream whenever someone mentions the words 'guns' and 'TES' in the same sentence (i actually do this one)...
When you think that you can repeat an exam or test by loading a saved game (oh how many times have i wished i could do this)...

- When you think buying a car is a waste of money because it won't increase your Athletics skill

-When you call Norwegians "Nords"

-When you call Asia "Akavir"

[EDIT]: - After fighting melee combat in Fallout 3, you try to cast a "Restore Health" spell, and when it doesn't work you yell at the game

I love these. Okay, here's ones I actually do.

- You use the phrase 'By the Gods' in normal speech.
- You constantly see places in everyday life where Magicka would make things so much easier.
- You discuss the lore at length with your friends on a semi-regular basis.
- You find yourself using bits of game dialog at random. (e.g.: Invisible on Halo, muttering "You can't see me. Neither can He. No one can see me.")
- You start having discussions with friends, pitting your characters against things from other games and the conversations get rather involved.
- After beating The Shivering Isles, you've developed an obsession with cheese and sticks.
- You use 'A Wizard Did It' as an excuse for things.

EDIT: One more: You occasionally speak Ta'agra without realizing it.

When you spend 5 days perfecting your character, only to turn on god mode.

Every youtube suggestion you get involves TES.

You can recite every ending in Daggerfall on cue.

You spend more time with your High Elf than your own family.

When you've played enough to regress your social maturity.

You spend a month trying to find an old computer just to play Arena/ Daggerfall without an emulator.

You fantasize about Virtual Reality TES.

You post more than five Adoring Fan Death videos on the internet.

...when you desperately wish for a detect life spell while hunting birds. Ones who seem to have invisibility on!

You know you've played all sorts of games too much, when you wish you could quick save and load just to try something stupid.

Once I woke up from a dream thinking I figured out how to do this. It remains the greatest goal of my life.

...When you try and cast a lightning spell at someone you're fighting with and get floored.
