You know you′ve played too much Oblivion when...

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 7:52 am

...when you're struggling to carry water softener salt inside and wish you had a potion of feather.

...when you vacation at the beach and decide to improve your blade skill and kill mudcrabs.

...when you're parents are mad at you and you wish you had a charm spell.

...when you're fluent in written deadric.

...when everyone's gone to bed for the night, you sneak around your own house.

...when someone asks you who you're closest mentor(s) is/are, and you say Lucien Lachance and Vicente Valtieri.

...when asked what career field you would like to pursue, you say the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood.

...when you're at a job interview and the employer asks you what skills you have that would make you the person for the job, you say "I'm a master of Alchemy, Conjuration, and Illusion. I also have extensive experience with Light Armor and Bladed weapons. In addition, I saved the province of Tamriel at age 14 and foiled a Daedric invasion plotted by Mankar Camoran"

...when asked if you're religious, you reply "Of course! I pray to Sithis every day."

...when you get into a fist fight at school and you expect the battle music to start playing.

...and when the principal breaks up the fight, he says"come into my office, I need to have a word with you two." but you hear "You should have paid the fine!"

-When you're having a conversation and desperately start looking for the pinwheel.

-When you're surprised that a dropped paintbrush hits the ground.

-When you start following someone you admire, offering them backrubs.

-When you see a child and yell "HAAAAAAAAAAAX".

...And don′t understand why it′s not possible to just pay the fine when the local "guards" say you will spend the night in jail for offering that

...when you think you can improve your car to 125% of when it was new with a simple hammer

...when you notice that hair and beards actually grow as time goes by

you look at anything mechanical and think "those dwemer sure were inventive"

you know most daedric letters (i know all but a few)

you ask your freinds if they have any quests available

you look at all the abandoned mines on the coast of whales and wish you could explore them for loot (guilty)

Watching Sanctuary, you recognize the Daedric font used for the vampire language, and you pretty much can read it. Thats when.

A real one -

When you can close your eyes and visualize the entire route between any city and any other city - the hills and valleys, the trees and rocks along the way, everything.

When you are bored in your classroom, and you look at your classmates and imagine what race would they be, in Oblivion.


Haha! Guilty! I had one person last year who managed to look like a Bosmer! And my friend has the same skin color and hair color as an Altmer!
