when you find out can't wear red freaky armour.

when you realise you have to go to school. killing trolls isn't on the curriculum

when you question what people mean by 'social life'.

when you realise you're not born with big biceps

when you arrive home and you are greated by a loading screen when you open the door.

when you wonder you can't find 'mysterium zarzes' (sp?) in your local library.

when your reply to 'whats new' is 'the emperor is dead'

and when you can kill a fly, just to be in the dark brotherhood.

:rofl:

You know you've played Oblivion too long when you:

Name you first born either Uriel or Barenzia. And, Then their first words are 'Oblivion'
When you walk up to automatic doors and just for fun of it cast an open spell. (It works every time.) :clap:

you know you've played oblivion to much if...

where ever you go you have a multiple plans if theres an enemy around the corner or on the other side of that door

you fall asleep for 6 hours and find out when you woke up its been 10 hours and you wonder what just happened

you have played enough to know where you can find what you need at any giving moment and know if that store is out of stock

you get out of the game and find out that its night already but seems like it was 1 pm just an hour ago

you dont dare hit any one with out them hitting you first cause you dont want to get charged for assault or murder

you find yourself looking for a spell or potion in another game or real life only to find out you dont have it

When you start hitting on you girlfriend to level up your Blunt skill.

When you used to keep a chart of all your skill points (for efficient leveling) and took notes to help you remember where things are... but you don't have to anymore.

When you keep an updated DVD backup consisting of:

- Oblivion DVD.

- SI DVD.

- Mods recopilation DVD.

- Quests recopilation DVD.

- Multimedia recopilation DVD (which includes the full series of "The Drunken Argonian", "Ken Do'Zin Must Die", "Orc-Blivion", "Bargonian Adventures", and many more, plus all the misc videos of the authors of those series).

*True story*

... if you spend 3 years trying to make the best possible mod build.

And then start again. And enjoy it!

And when you end the week disappointed that there were no major release or update.

When you're playing a game other than OB and scream "You move like a pregnant cow!" at your enemies.

When your best pickup line is "I saw a couple of mudcrabs the other day..."

When you walk in on a friend playing OB and know exactly where they are without them telling you.

When you think eating bread will detect life for you.

When you paint a red hand on every item you own so it doesn't get stolen.

When you have a dog statue named Barbas.

When in your free time you find yourself thinking "Block, Slash, Slash" over and over again.

When you meet a new person and you say "By Azura" and so on.

When i go swimming in a lake i sometimes quicly get out say SLAUGHTER FISH and then hit myself on the head cus i just realize that im in real life

Once I told a girl I have the giant slaughter fish...



...she then slapped me, and walked away




:foodndrink:

you know you play too much oblivion if...

you read some of the other post in here and all you can think is thats so true

you dream about oblivion and the adventures you'll have tomorrow

(you know its kinda hard to think of new ones when so many of them have been taken)

:hehe: I do that too. It doesn't help that while I'm in bed trying to fall asleep, I can't help but start thinking like my character and planning their next moves.

if you are with your girlfriend and say: "You have the eyes of a trained marksman".

You know you've played Oblivion for too long if...

You start learning how to use medieval weapons so you can RP Oblivion in real life. (I haven't gone quite that far. Yet.)

You explore caves and hope to find good loot.

You won't go to the basemant of your church because you don't want to encounter the undead.

You go to the basemant of your church because you want to get Ectoplasm from the undead.

You look for Guild halls whenever you travel to another town.

if you kill someone and expect them to be back in 3 days

...if you wake up and are faced with your mother saying "You realize that all your life you have been coasting along as if you were in a dream. Suddenly, facing the trials of the last few days, you have come alive." and asking you if you'd like to add to your Strength.

Also, you know you've played Oblivion for too long if you can remember the level message I just said about, word for word!

the keyword is yet here and ive fought with wooden swords alot when i was younger me and a friend sparred all the time lets just say we had alot of bruises for a while but we did become pretty good at it

you know youve play too much oblivion if...

you think about what you'll do when you get home once you get back from work/school

you mutter "by the nine" after something bad happened

you try to haggle cashiers to lower the price

you try to use speechcraft skill on cops to get out of speeding or stealing (only if the cop would like you that much to over look it (havent tried this yet but some of you have probably))

You're being chased by the police and drop all of your stolen items, thinking that when you get out you'll just go back and pick them up them.

You're surprised when you're beaten up at the gym for commenting. "Look at the muscles on yooouuuu...."

There is often an awkward pause after telling your doctor. "You have the hands of a healer..."

You've played too much Oblivion if..

If you think taking a stroll in the rain is not a problem at all.

If the weather has been acting oddly for the time of the year you wonder if your mod is broken.

If you gaze at the reflections on water thinking the graphics are pretty good and wonder who designed them.

If you actually spend time watching trees waver in the wind in Oblivion, but in real life you hardly notice it or think it's nothing special

If you're annoyed by the lack of fast travel when going on summer vacation.

If you are actually interested in reading the books of Oblivion, but couldn't really care for that library in your local town.

If you plan your current characters actions ahead and are still excited in doing so.

If you remember your first murder(in Oblivion that is =D)

If you plan of purchasing the goty edition just in case your old dvd starts acting up

That's all I can think at the moment^^

If you decide to kill somebody you don't like, because you think you can get away with it by paying a fine.

:lmao:

When you dedicate more time plotting your character's builds than you do planning on how you're going to go back to school.

When one reason why you want to go to school, is to become a programmer so you could be involved in making mods for your favorite game or be involved in making the next one.


This is my status right now... -looks at notebook and hangs head-

You tell your older brother "What do you want, Breton Trash?" and then get punched.

1. If I see a Roman ruin I think it'll have imps/Daedra/bandits/timber wolves outside.

2. When I see plants growing by the water I think 'Nirnroot!' and have to stop myself.

3. Try resist looking for the Fighters Guild to repair my weapons XD I've done this once or twice.

4. Walking in the woods is not the same... I want to see deer and hack at them! I want to see mountain lions and wolves! XD

5. I think of farms I've passed and wonder if any of the crops would be good in alchemy.

6. Everytime I think of chavs, I think they resemble hooded goblins minus the rusty war weapons.

7. I meticulously plan a day's Oblivion session before anything else. UESP Wiki is standard reading material.

You know you've played Oblivion for too long if...

Something funny happens in game and you immediately quit playing (after saving, of course) and look for a Forum thread to post it in (or start a new thread).
