...after spending a night at Cloud Ruler Temple, you awaken to find Jauffre sleeping in your bed.

...you have a horse, but Martin doesn't and you consider making the future Emperor of Tamriel run behind you to keep up.

...and then suddenly you're the only one in your party without a horse.

...you are prevented from saving the Emperor from assassination by way of cunningly placed super-glue on the dungeon floor.

...Baurus yoinks Captain Renault's sword from your hand after you've been using it for the entire first dungeon.

...you scream aloud when a guard teleports behind you into an empty room to arrest you.

...you accidentally hit Martin in the thick of battle and he stands in a puddle of his own blood glaring at you.

...you enter Oblivion at level one with barely a scrap of usable armor to your name and nary a health potion.

...you ride to Kvatch for the first time, to find Martin, fully and totally expecting to find a nice little town.

...you have to loot 5000 gold in loot for the Thieves Guild just to see/talk to a person.

....when you are left paranoid after seeing that your killing has been observed by forces unknown

—When you get into the castle room of Bravil and turn for the doors, only to notice one of the guards have a finger near his nose and you're like "...is he doing what I think he's doing?".

...you ride to Kvatch for the first time, to find Martin, fully and totally expecting to find a nice little town.

Yes. Just...yes.

...you're fighting a bandit on the road to Bravil and are just about to finish him off when Countess Alessia Caro suddenly comes running out of nowhere and knifes him in the back. You find her bodyguard a mile or so away.

...you discover that your Fighter's Guild roommate sleeps in the (near) nude.

...a wild boar comes charging at your raised shield and knocks out the last little bit of its own health.

...you can't figure out how to equip weapons in the starting dungeon at first, so you instead opt to punch a pack of rats to death.

...a troll comes charging at you and you run shrieking in the opposite direction before you remember that this isn't Skyrim.

...you spend an hour or so standing next to various Wood Elves in third person because of how tall they make you feel.

...you meet Sinderion and he isn't a corpse.

...a wolf growls at you and your Nord warrior growls right back at it.

You first try to use "Persuade" and are totally mystified, despite carefully reading the help info. (I just started playing yesterday evening).

I'm not even sure why it eventually let me exit the mini-game after numerous attempts. :confused:

I still don't know how to work the thing or what has to happen in order for the screen to close. I've just been bribing people nonstop. :D

...you find that you cannot bring yourself to strike Glarthir, even as the little crazy's pounding on you with his tiny elf fists. So you just keep blocking his blows for a full couple minutes and one skill increase before ultimately drawing him out into the open and deciding to let the guards handle him.

...somehow, you end up with four trolls after you. Frantically speeding down the road to Skingrad, you then encounter a legionnaire already locked in battle with a spriggan and a bandit. For a split second after you've raced on by, you turn around, just in time to see the thoroughly unfortunate soldier get curb-stomped.

...you hear someone pronounce the word "dreugh" aloud for the first time in your life and realize that the true pronunciation is nothing like the one you've been using for half a year.

I can't wait. I've been mentally "saying "DREE-oh."

My char closed his first Oblivion gate last night.

You can tell it's a good game when you stay up until 1:30 in the @$^#%& morning just to finish the current adventure.

I'm getting too old for this ****.:sleepyface:

Heehee. ^.^ I'd been saying it "droog."

Like that except underwater. >.<

And indeed, indeed, fellow sleep-deprived adventurer. *nods slowly*

...the count of Skingrad openly admits to being a vampire. o.0

...you wander into Castle Cheydinhal late at night, as the Count sleeps, to find both thrones in the Great Hall occupied by widely-smiling guardsmen.

...you run into Spider Daedra for the first time. T.T

The Count's a vampire!?!?! That's kind of stereotypical, don't you think? :)

I've been wondering about the Spider Daedra. They were mentioned in Morrowind and shown (I think) in a load screen, but I never found one.

Also, from the Late to the Party Dept., I've just started reading your Tanniel story. I'm riveted. Thanks much.

Not exactly. He's actually quite a friendly vampire. ^.^ But man, while he was talking, I was staring so hard at his fangs and mentally going "Is he really...?"

They first appeared for me last night at level 17 inside an Oblivion Gate. I was going for the sigil stone and thought I was home free when, gaaaaaaaaaaah. -.- Their venom is paralysing, donchaknow?

Yeeeeeeea! There's no such thing as late to the party. ^.^

...you hack and slash your way through a veritable army of daedra and triumphantly make it through the carnage with a silver of health left. Then, as you're attempting to loot the body of one of the fallen adversaries, you take a tumble into a lava river and die. -.-

...you release the prisoner in a cage at the top of of a tower in Oblivion, only to see him go tumbling down to be perfectly impaled on the central spike of the ascension below.

...the head of every other spider daedra you kill goes plunging into their behinds the moment they die.

...you wonder if your water-walking amulet will work on lava as well.

...you're oddly disappointed that the Game of the Year Edition doesn't come with horse armor.

...a character quotes a line of "Joy to the World" almost exactly.

...you realize that you can run faster than the paint horse that you've been riding all over Cyrodiil.

...the guard you were feeding on suddenly lurches out of bed, screeching, "THERE'S A PSYCHOPATH ON THE LOOSE!"

...you see a guard go hurtling down a road at top speed, like his pants are on fire. Thinking nothing of it, you continue picking flowers. A minute passes and you then witness a bear speeding off in the same direction as the guard.

...the Count of Cheydinhal is totally, completely, eerily cool with his son being dead.

...you decide to see what would happen if you poked Lucien LaChance in the eye with your sword and before you know it, the entire Fighter's Guild has descended upon him like an iron wave.

...you think, noticing it only after seeing his picture in the Wiki, "How the heck is Mankar Camoran wearing the Amulet of Kings?"

...you pull a lever hoping to pull a suffering prisoner out of a pool of lava but instead drop someone else in in his place.

...you're fighting your way through the daedra attack on the Imperial Palace alongside all of the palace guards and suddenly, you find yourself totally alone in the battle with a dozen dremora behind your shield.

...Martin decides to seek out and slay every single ogre along the way to Imperial City.

...a character you're attempting to safely escort out of Hackdirt somehow becomes even slower once she mounts her horse.

...you get a terrible sinking feeling when you finally realize that you must have accidentally sold your daedric longsword three towns back, Kynareth-knows-where.

You DON'T buy the horse armour dlc because you heard it was one of the biggest wastes of money in gaming history... Then your horse gets killed by a Minotaur.

Also Skyrim needs horse armour more than Oblivion did. I think they did it on purpose to see if they could make the fans actually ask for it.
