What about this.
When I stopped playing Oblivion, and started playing a new game, my friend asked me what I should do (via private chat).
I told him what he should do. Told him some places to shop, some places to raid, some towns to visit...

And at the time, I haven't played Oblivion for a while (more than 5 hours!) at least a month!

And you know you play TES to much when a month without TES is torture for you.

when you're sneaking up on someone and you yell "**** YEAH, SNEAK WENT UP!!!"

when you say "screw drugs and booze, skooma's a 2 in 1!"

God- I am guilty of at least 30 of these I swear.

Below are more that I am guilty of.


...When you prefer your characters name over your real name.
...when your screen is permanently marked by a little Red, Blue and Green Strip
...When TES seems to permeate all other entertainment (e.g. have you ever noticed the the movie 300 is really about Morrowind- the Man God Xerxes is really the Man God Vivec: they look and talk the same).

Or even Worse, he actually wants you to sit next to him, to help him and your like:"DUDE, YOU CANT EVEN FAIL A QUEST IF YOU INTENTED TO!"



DUDE! I do that too! Like the spartan soldiers is the Imperial Legion Soldiers and the persians are daedra army!

Well this happened to me today...
I was in Physics today, my teacher has a southern accentant so I asked him where he was from in England, he said down south in Summerset :blink: he's also really tall!!!
I think my teachers a High Elf...

Oh, Haha I've sat next to a friend. Through out his entire playthrough before......... Whew. It was fun though ^_^

You know you play TES to much when...

...Your TES characters bleed over into other games. Like D&D, WoW, Dragon Age, (I don't play the latter two... But examples they were none the less!)
...Instead of writing your own fantasy world, you choose to write fan-fictions all the time.
...You start comparing other games to Tes, Even ones that are not RPG's.... "Sure, I can snipe that guy. But if this was Tes I could do it with a bow, requiring more skill. and that wouldn't have a scope!" or "Pfft. These 'infected' Have nothing on the zombies I've came across fighting necromancers!"
...When you frequently dream about TES. ( I don't but I know some people do..)

Most intense time I had with TES, was dreaming about Daggerfall six times in 10 days :bolt:

When you and a buddy are making The Elder Scrolls: Tabletop Edition 1.0 (private game, we will not market it.)

Not even for a cookie.

Oh and


Doctor:Look Bill your drug test came out well you know?
Bill: Listen I didn't mean to do-
Doctor:No listen we don't know what drug you have been taking.
Bill: Alright I took some skooma out back with some Argonians I won't happen again I swear.
Doctor: What?

... you can give your friends acurate and descriptive directions to almost any place on Vvardenfell using landmarks and giving a rough estimate on what they will have to fight on the way.
Example: (last night)
ME: Alright spell it.
FRIEND: A-s-h-a-l-m-i-m-i-l-k-a-l-a
ME: Oh, Ashalmimilkala...
FRIEND: How the [censored] do you remember that?
ME: Don't ask. You know the small fishing village, Hla Oad?
FREIND: Sure. Why not?
ME: Ok, go there, and take the road directly north until you reach a large mushroom tree butting out of the middle of the road and a large death-fortress a bit behind it.
FRIEND: Okay.
ME: From there, go left, following the only land route and you'll run right into it.
FRIEND:Alrigh--
ME: Also, about a quarter of the way there, you'll run into a nord named Fjol. Don't talk to him. Just continue down the road. If he talks to you, you are either going to have to fight him or pay him 50 septims.
FRIEND: What are Septims?
ME:[inward sigh] gold coins...
FRIEND: okay
ME:To the left of Fjol is a different daedric shrine, but you don't want to go there for your quest. The place is crawling with decently levelled orcs. At your level, you might not be able to handle them. But the only other things you should encounter are cliff racers, a nix hound, and netches.
FRIEND: So, just travel down the road until I run into a big fortress and turn left?
ME: Yeah.
FRIEND: Okay, how do I get to Hla Oad or whatever you called it.
ME: Where are you now?
FRIEND: Vivec.
ME: Okay go to the docks and just sail to Hla Oad.
FRIEND: Okay thanks!

...when you wonder why you're cat and iguana have been so quiet.

...When you run out into the road and try to re-load after you get hit by a car.

Although this works for most games.

... When you start buying or making Argonion plush toys.

And things like that I guess.

you know you've been playing too much TES when you have dreams of Jagar Tharn telling you that his minions are coming

When you feverishly deny that you play too much TES

When you bring in a picture of an ES hairstyle to a barber to get it done to you. (havent done it, but would be hilarious)

You know you play too much when... you make an excel spreadsheet with the names of all the skills and you put a tally down every time you level up so you make sure you get +5 amplifiers every time you level up.

haha they work though

that didn't make sense. I meant you put a tally down every time you advance in that particular skill so that way you make sure you get +5 amplifiers every time you level up.

When you can ramble off how to complete every quest from morrowind and oblivion, know where every item is, and know how to exploit the system to make your character a monster.

I've totally done this, i love it lol

guilty

You know you've been playing TES too much when your sitting in work and asked pay the fine or else

when your mates call round and you see an orc, a high elf, and a mage.

come on in the mead is brewing boys!!!

when you think eating nightshade will fortify your magicka

When you go to the mayor of a city and ask if there are any houses for sale after Telling him jokes, coercing, admiring, and telling him stories, all at the same time.


I once wrote a six page essay on the history of Cyrodiil in the voice of a mage guild instructor. My english teacher assigned a project to write a manuscript in someone else's voice, so that's what I choose. I got all fancy too, I got real parchment, a quill, and everything. I even had a family friend bind it in leather. My teacher didn't even bother to read it, he just glanced at it and gave me an A.

I'm also guilty of swearing by the nine divines.

I may have called a few people 'n'wah's, s'wits, or fetchers...

I hope you kept it.
