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

I just bought Rosenthorn Hall last night and just now and was placing my books I had stashed in my anvil house on the floor to my character's right and was about to shelve them.

Well, my two dogs were play fighting and ran into my computer room and I actually caught myself glancing to my right like I had a pile of books beside me to make sure they didn't run into them.

Well, I was driving home from work today, and I saw a bunch of flowers growing in someone's yard and thought to myself, "I wonder what ingredients I can harvest from those."

You match people you know with races found in oblivion.

so guilty. my brother is a stunted scamp. no, a stunted, stunted scamp.

When you have loged over 500 hours into Oblivion.

you go to a church alter when you are sick and hope for a magical ball to come out of the alter and heal you.

You try to equip your favorite hat with your hot keys

you burn yourself with 'hot' keys (BOOOO!)

you go on drive by bow and arrowing on a horse.

you are amazed that you can shoot on your horse.

you are even more amazed when your bow doesnt disapear when you mount.

you expect the horse to move without kicking it, or using reigns.

you think black horses are very fast.

you know ancient aylied.

When you are surprised when sleeping after you murder someone the police force wakes you up, not a man in a black robe

When you send your character desperately running all over the Mages Guild looking for a bathroom because you really, really, really, need to go.

When you spend more time offering advice on the forum than you spend playing the game.

When you strut out of the shower into the bedroom and are disappointed when the missus doesn't say, 'Look at the muscles on you.'

When I've got something on my mind and the missus says, 'Is everything ok?' instead of 'What is it, Champion?'

When I genuinely consider having children just to name them after a character in the game. 'Lucien, Azura, Dar-Ma, Malacath! Dinner's on the table!'

When you go on a killing spree in real life and then realise you cannot load your previous save.

When you are surprised that you can put things on bookcases without everything flying around the room.
When you are surprised that you don't get arrested for examining someone's fork or book.

When something across the room is too much of a bother to get up and get it yourself and you want to telekenesis it.

» Fri May 27, 2011 12:16 pm

When you try to cast Night Eye or Starlight during a power outage.

When you hear something go bump in the night and try to cast Detect Life to see what it is.

When you go up to a cashier at a store and ask "How many Septims is this selling for?"

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:36 am

When you start looking at people and/or animals and comparing them to races/creatures in Oblivion.

"You know, I think that Pug kinda looks like an Orc."

"My iguana sort of reminds me of Amusei."

"Thank you for dining at Red Lobster, what can I get for you tonight?" "I'd like some Mudcrab legs, please."

when you start stabbing short people on impulse cause youre so used to commiting genocide on the wood elves

You know you've played Oblivion for too long if...
... you're keeping track of how many times you've seen "You know you've played Oblivion too long if..." threads.

wouldn't that be "you know you've lurked the forums too long if..."

... when your first thought when you see flowers are "I should pick them for my alchemy skills"

Ah let's see...

If your spouse has left you.

If you think eating wild mushrooms you find in the wilderness can be good for you

If you place explosives by the White House and say, "Oh don't worry he won't die, he's flagged essential"

If you think jokes on this thread about confusing God with TES gods are still funny

If you think rats really are that big

If you think you can eat all the crap you wanna and won't gain a pound

AND If you check all the rooms you ever go into to make sure they aren't made out of butterflies

"If you think rats really are that big"

Actually, I think some rats can get about that size.

For me, the only thing I've actually done in real life(not in my dreams) is look at the neighborhood plant life and ponder how it looks like certain plants in Oblivion, and like a previous post, I could probably identify more plants from the game than I can in real life primarily because I see the name of the plant every time I mouse over them in the game. That doesn't happen in real life for some reason.

I made a post like this in the TES General board.

For me it's swearing by Tamriellic gods, and absently quoting in game dialogue, telling people 'may Talos guide you' and such like.

i like this idea. mind if i borrow it?

Blessings of Julianos upon you! :bowdown:

When the music keeps rolling through your mind...on waking, before falling asleep....all day.

That is funny

when you think you could eat flowers or grass hoping to increase you alchemey

I will try that
thats why every cow is a master of alchemey

You are right

Well, I'll occasionally think that if I make a mistake in a real world event, I could just load a prevous save, and then I hit myself on my head... :slap:

Ya, I do that all the time too.

You think your using chameleon in some strangers house in the middle of the night.

Another one of these theads? Well, anyways, here are my most common real Oblivion habits:

Attempting to reload my save when I say something stupid,
talking in Oblivion dialouge,
judgine people by what race they are most like,
and thinking everyone has a preprogrammed path to walk.

Not to mention lurking on these forums all day :goodjob:
