You know you've played to much Oblivion, when... Options

[Abu the Cat]

Well, it's resurrected anyway.

You know you've played to much Oblivion when you start calling the shrimp in your PE class a Wood Elf.

Or when you start calling somebody a Dunmer when they're pissed off at you.

Or when you go to school with a hood on saying you're a Battlemage (with a wooded pole in a makeshift sheath!), but then being forced to take them off.

When you start saying, "For the empire!" and trying to draw your sword when someone gets you pissed off.

I can go on for ever!

[ThePerson98]

You know you've played too much oblivion when you kill some homeless beggar and your excuse to the police is you were trying to get the attention of the Dark Brotherhood.

When you give the checkout person at walmart 10 bucks to see if he'll let you buy everything for less.

When you get imprisoned you try and find that secret passage into the sewers.

You "save" and then go do something absolutely crazy until the police gun you down.

I'll make some more up later..

[The Vulture]

you know you have played too much Oblivion when..

you walk along a beach looking for Nirnroot plants.

when you won't go swimming because you are afraid of Slaughterfish

or when you go outside, and try and remember where you parked your horse.

[Abu the Cat]

I got more!

You know you've played to much Oblivion when you start calling everyone "Imperial" or "Redguard" (or "Breton" if you live in Britain).

Or if you do the Mages' Guild salute to a wussy (you're a wussy if you do magic ONLY, you're cool if you're a Battlemage or Spellsword).

Or if you demand 100 gold from someone in the halls (damn Highwaymen got me in that habit!).

Or if you start saying you're from Cyrodiil (if you're American), Hammerfell (if you're black), or from High Rock (if you're British).

Or if you call the swords the British used during the American Revolution "Longswords bought from Slash n' Smash if you downloaded Adonnay's mod".

Or if you start giving money to your cat, thinking he'll bring a warhammer down on your head !

[deemu]

when you hack off your leg and try to use a restoration spell

when you constantly look under the bed for rats

[Abu the Cat]

when you think your pet cat is a khajjit (no offence abu the cat)

I did that once. I said, "Hello, Khajiit... I mean, Abu!". Yes, one of my cats' names is Abu!

When you start calling some white place and Ayleid ruin, or Carac Agailor.

When you start asking for Mead instead of Coke or Pepsi!

When you correct your History teacher when she says that the British empire was the biggest and most powerful during the Revolutionary War. You say, "No, the Cyrodiilic empire is the biggest in the world! Well, on Tamriel, at least.".

When you ask your cat about the K'Sharra prophecy.

When you correct everyone when they say, "Armored pants", or "Armored shirts" (dumbasses, (in order) Greaves and Cuirasses).

When the teacher asks you a question, and you've been day dreaming about Oblivion, you say, "You kill the undead with a Silver, Magic, or Daedric weapon!".

When you start demanding gold pieces whenever your sister steals something from you, and putting the "Stolen goods" in a chest.

More coming up soon.

[Parkillous]

When you walk around with an invisible keyboard and mouse in front of you, with your face directly forward, holding invisible w a s and d keys as you move and pressing e when you wish to jump... when someone jumps you and you try defending yourself by pressing the left and right mouse buttons, as well as the c key, and when it seems to do nothing, you constantly press tab to try and stop them...

When your excuse for bringing a blade to school is to defend yourself against Dremoras (I didn't bring a knife to school, by the way).

When you write an ongoing story about the adventures of a Khajiit in your journal at school.

When you say you would never let a cat rape or do you (when someone says that one does) because of what you read in The Real Barenziah series (I believe volumes 2 and 3).

When you read the guide for fun.

When black people hate you because you say, "Imperials rule the continent!", and they ask, "What color are they?", and you say, "White! Oops!" for no apparent reason (they don't play any TES game).

When (counts for anyone buying a car, not me) you go to a car dealer, and you ask for a black horse.

When you go to abandoned houses, and you say you're looking for an ancient black door that makes weird sounds.

You know you've played too much Oblivion when you go outside, a storm is coming and the sky is cloudy and reddish (happens due to the dust in my area), and you start trying to figure out where the Oblivion gate has opened and just how close it might be.

[Jamie Charlton]

You know when you played Morrowind too much when you feel like saving in real life. I've had that a couple of times.

lol nice one, same here. i thought as my mum was shouting at me: 'I'll save it, shout at her then reload'. Oblivion brings on the craziest thoughts!

[Jamie Charlton]

When you think that the russian spy on the news was poisoned with Theranis, then you realise that Theranis was a character from Oblivion..............turns out he was poisoned with Thalium, oh well.

[The Metal Mallet]

You know when you've played too much Oblivion when you find a thread called "You Know When You've Played Too Much Oblivion" on a chorrol.com thread!

Oh zing!!!

[Taillus]

Hahaha nice Mallet!

You know you've played far too much Oblivion when:
-You stand on a manhole cover waiting for it to take you to another level of the Arcane University.
-You run into a table just to see how far the things on the top will fly.
-You go to the mall to buy a new coat but then ask the salesperson what enchantments it has.
-You run from an elderly man with a wooden cane in fear of him soultrapping you and sealing you into a black soul jem.
-When helping a friend move to a new apartment you tell everyone to wait a minute while you fortify your strength.
-You take an orange in one hand and a tomato in the other, smash them together in your palms in hopes that somehow you have a really good alchemy skill and some nice potion will come of it.
-You take a toy bow and arrow into your backyard to try the duplicate item bug with a twenty dollar bill.
-On a cloudy day you tell your friends "If I had a better video card and some ram then I could crank the draw distance up and be able to see down the road."
-You get robbed by a man in an Armani Suit that drives a Lamborghini Gallardo. (A la Bandits with Glass armor while you are still wearing steel.)

Sorry if any of these have been used before... I got on a roll and I didn't want to check all of these to see if they were used yet or not.

[Pisces]

-You go into a clothing store and ask the sales person to barter and expect to see a simplified list of their goods
-You can't understand why they won't buy your copper ring.
-You buy a skirt, put it on and wonder why it isn't turning into pants because your a male.
-Pissed off, you try to sell the skirt back at a fraction of the price you bought it rather than getting a refund.
-You email bethseda to tell them that your skirt didn't turn into pants.
-You see a goth and note that its silly that no one notices he's a vampire despite his obviously pale skin and thin mouth.
-You wonder what quests are involved with the goth.
