Hello everyone.
I can see by the turn out that this terribly great thing has affected many elder scrolls players. But were here to help and if anyone would like to share there stories of TES addictions please dont hesitate.

Hi Everyone, My name is Neela and I am an Elder scrollaholic.

I went through all of these exact same emotions and waiting when Morrowind was due to release a few years ago. I was already a huge fan as I had played arena and daggerfall for years on end before. I am sure that Oblivion too will keep me occupied for a very long time.

my name is chips. if been a elder scrollaholic for 2 years i havent played morrowind for 3 months its been very hard but with help i think ill pull threw.

What language is that?

There there, be strong

Hello my name is DoomedOne, and I'm a... well... yeah *bursts into tears*

Oh God, it's just you know, I go through these cycles and its tearing my family apart. My wife kicked me out three times because one night while feeling really apprehensive I guess I just blacked out and ended up stealing all her jewerly and sold it so I could afford a new graphics card. And you know i can't think straight during class or at work, my mind's always on coming home to check for updates. I can't live like this... I need help.

*peers into doorway and listens to conversation for a second*

I don't play TES anymore, I only visit these forums....I must have the wrong room. Do you know where the guitaraholics anonymous room is?

Yes Dantrag, my basement, I'm serving punch tonight.

ohhh u pore soul be strong

well I guess its time I told my story.
I was 12 at the time, I was approached by a guy. He was selling TES morriwind I... I JUST COULDNT RESIST!
It was horrible. When Tribunal came out I just went crazy. I performed a game heist on the game train. Ive been living in a spider hole ever since.

Okies..here goes!

Once upon a time in the cold forrests of Skyrim, there was a young girl who borrowed a computergame from a friend. She started to play the game...and her younger sister also got to play.....The mother was watching with interest as the girls were playing....and one day....she decided to try it out!..

From that day the poor girls had no mother anymore......their lil´brother also became a motherless child...why you ask?

Oh but that´s obvious..the mother could not drag herself from the computer.....she even bought the game so she could have it for ever......and ..there were expansions as well...

Now what has become of that poor family deep in the nord forrests? Well the children live their lives......the poor husband? ahhh he is since long forgotten....Because the mother.....spends her days at her comp. playing mw....she even imagine she´s actually in the game......

Now what can be learned from a horrible story like that? Ahh well do not let your moms get into mw..or you´ll just loose them....

lol my mom wouldn't ever play the game....


Well, it all started when my dad was buying parts for his new machine. and Microsoft sends copies of games so that they would get customers to bujy the real pakage and all.

So with his video card, or something, came this mysterious game, called morrowind...

After he got it all set up I hopped on it at once, I mean a weird named game couldn't be that fun. Could it? SO I started it up and was struck down by the beauty of the game and all the stuff, I ended up in some strage fort city, Pelgaid(sp?) adn stole one of the steel bows and went on.


After that I had tons of other characters including a Kajiit that sucked at longblade, had two of them and was in the fighter's guild

It continued like this untill I got the box set and I read up and knew what I was doing. I've been addicted to the game ever since...... *Crys*

i originally heard about it on toonami back when i watched TV. they gave it a 9/10 or sometyhing and i saw the glass armor and i'm like"wow thats awsome." walked into blockbuster. looked at MW and i'm like "another time" and i rented a different game. that happened about 10 times till i picked up MW and "Screw it, i'm renting it"

got to the bonebiter bow quest, had to return it, bought the game several months later, got Dangerously addicted (i wasn't doing my homework and stuff.) got the GOTY edition, made things worse. now, i'm here.

My name is ShogunSniper, but everyone in real life calls me Dempsey, and i am an elder scrollaholic. specifically morrowindaholic.

BUT I AM RECOVERING!!!

i have been elder scrolls free for 1 month now.

good job and congrats.

I can somewhat control my gaming times.... Only because i've beaten the game 3 times already....

Err.. My name is Channler and well I'm.. or was.. I guess.. A elderscrollsaholic..

It started when my big bro came to visit, at the time he purchased an XBOX and a also a few games. Really just for the hell of it he bought morrowind too.

Well one night when he went to sleep early I got on his xbox and started playing morrowind. When he was about to leave I contemplated stealing the game, but I then remebered that I don't own a XBox, so I thought about stealing the console, but by this time he'd already left.

So I went on for a long while not remebering untill I made my first computer. I stole some money and went to EB and demanded that they gave me the last copy of Morrowind GOTY edition or I'd break into the game testing station and steal it. Well the cops were called on me and I was arrested for the better part of two months.

So after going through all that punishment I decided that morrowind wasnt good enough for me so I forgot about it and went on with my life. However at christmas the devils that are my parents stuffed this lil game right into my stocking, it had returned, and I saw the light.

But I've never beat the mainquest so...

Tommorow nights meeting will have some tea and jaffa cakes.
Good work all of you!

I'm not an elder scrollaholic, I'm just plain psychotic. I do however, have a passion for creating flawed modifications to my fortress within Morrowind, but since these flaws repeat themselves I continually rebuild them again and again? No I'm not a scrollaholic jeez. Oh does anyone know where the white robe is in Tribunal? Some kid said there was one and I WANT IT or at least the identification so I can place it in a modification. Hmm I'm starting to think about a good xbox 360 poll .... or not... or I am..... oh my god does anyone know where the nordic mail shield is? OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I'm not a scrollaholic you n'wah jeez how many times do I have to tell you?

But seriously, where is the "white" robe? And why does Minque have hot pictures? I thought hot pictures were not allowed.

heh heh, the white robe is on the one cult guy in Godsreach outside the bar.... (See i'm not a true aholic, I don't know all the names...)

You mean that cruel ordinator with the shiny indoril armor? Or someone else? Gulp I better pop in my Morrowind disc, NEED..... SEXY WHITE ROBE....

You have to play through the story a bit. Minque has pictures of a face, faces are allright. There is no Nordic mail shield.

Now I shall be gone from this wretched place. Trying to have peace from the madness, BAH!!!


Peace is a lie, there is only MW.
Through MW I gain strength.
Through strenth I gain power.
Through power I gain victory.
Through victory my chains are broken.
The Elder Scrolls shall set you free.




(yes, that was the sith code)

Hot? Nahh...I don´t think they´re hot.......and my char has a very nice white toga, it´s from a mod....I´m using mods frequently now. it adds a lot imo

This is the white toga I mentioned.....nice huh?

Very. But I wish it had two straps, one straps bring the word "slutty" to my mind. Not always though... nice character too,

Please! a toga never has two straps!....besides it´s a decent toga..reveals nothing of her except one shoulder.....

Didn't say it did, never meant I wanted a two strapped toga. Some young man told me that there was a white robe in the Tribunal expansion, on someone important but he failed to tell me whom. I guess he was lying O.o

There is a white robe in TRIBUNAL its on a nutty cultist who appears at the pub in godsreach when you get the quest from Almalexia. No, I dont think Im addicted, not at all, The fact that I have MW Goty on the xbox and Im writing this at the same time, has no relevance to anything, by the way, does anyone else have a complete plant collection of all the plant on MW GOTY?

That is the answer I wanted

"... mom!! can you make me some resist blight po.. o i mean soda!?..."

I never intended to answer you on the whereabouts of the white robe..because I haven´t encountered it, my answer was about the fact that my pics of my charachter are nice and not particularly hot..... That´s why I showed you the pic of Serene in her white toga!

Yeah, but have you got all the plants? and are they neatly placed on plain paper? I NEED TO KNOW!! NOW!! Its, its just, well, I need to know thats all, its not a problem...... the doctor said Id be ok, if I kept taking the pills, Im calm now, so, do you have them in a row, or do you scatter them on the floor, which house do you use, its really important, I need to know, please just tellme......

NORMAL SERVICE WILL BE RETURNED AFTER SERIOUS COUNSELLING........

there is no such thing as a two strapped toga, they are robes...



yeah I know, old disscusion but I wanted to say my two cents....

in MW i made nerano manner in balmora my home. i had all sorts of rubies and pretty gems set out on a shelf and a collection of keys. then that stupid hamster cave overflow sack thing popped up and ruined my immersion......honoured user....

That same answer was givin to you several times, one of them coming from myself, READ!

I meant your banner pictures, not your user posted images... and Serene seems kind of cute to me...

Where? I was informed that a white robe existed, but I cannot remember when you clarified who or when....

Here was when Soulseeker answered and you asked if it was one of Almelexia's personal gaurds, and then I said



Which I guess I should explain better. I was saying that that npc doesn't apear until you play through the story a little bit.

Oh....well one is from neverwinter nights, as is my avatar....Fuzzy made them..the other one is from sloganizer......

Oh and yes Serene is meant to be a sweet and nice woman....

Serene's face sometimes seems a little funky though, like the eyes are too big.. cannot figure out what it is..

hi p people m my name is um sp spizzy
aand i havennt played morrowind in a about 3 months.
i its beeen a r really horrible 3 m months. i i ve b been getting r really
tw tw twichy lately...

My name is Black Hand, and Im a Morrowind Junkie....sure at first a couple of hours a day was enough to get by, but then you start getting weird thoughts...like "I wanna see what its like to do every quest in the game, as an Orc with NO PERSONALITY!"...Dont get much info from the Dunmer, but it sure increases your skills with an axe.

Eventually your doing saves like "Good Werewolf" and "Bad Werewolf" just because you want too see both sides of the coin....my god its horrible....so wonderfully horrible. Stop me before I transform agi......


Quick cutscene of a Bipedal Wolf Howling, followed by several NPC's calling out threats.

"I got the curse for your cure right here!"

"Your cursed bloodline ends here!"

"Come here boy, I got a bone for you!"

Damn,....thats the last time I confuse Hircines Ring with Barlizars Mazed Band!

Oh well, as long as Im here, I gues Ill slaughter all of Pelagiad. Never liked the way Ahnassi looked at my Dark Elven Butt ayway.

*General Slaughter ensues*

*Milanius opens up the picture of Serene, takes one deep breath*

*Milanius melttttttttssssss....*

Milanius can have a peek in her private album if he likes!!!

Hello, my name is Kindred Spirit and I'm not an Elder Scrollaholic. Really. I swear to it on the name of Azura.

I've only played Morrowind, Tribunal, and part of Bloodmoon, as well as a (very) small part of Arena.

Before today, I was clean for a good few months, but I got bored of listening to my brother and sister fighting, so I popped Morrowind in the xbox and got lost again in the wonderful world of...Morrowind. Hmm...That was supposed to be alliterative. Oh well.

I used to play for the entire weekend straight, only stopping for showers. Then I'd play ~10 hours during every weekday. (It came out of my sleeping time, which is where I get my internet time from now) Now I only play once every couple days, sometimes weeks in between, so I am no longer a Scrollaholic. (Ok, the link in my sig will argue otherwise...) I do, however, know most of the lore fairly well, and I rp quite a bit for it. (haven't done anything over here, didn't want to try to figure out what was going on in either of those seriously long rps, and the others all seem to die quickly)

I'm more of a fanboy of the lore itself than the games, because writing is the ultimate form of rping, because everything is up to your imagination, which has an unlimited budget. (er, kind of)

To give you an idea of just how bad of a Scrollaholic I used to be, take my username. Kindred Spirit. Seems innocent enough. But now, just repeat the initials in it. KS. Still, depending on your accent and level of Scrollaholic-ness, it might seem innocent. KS. Kay Es. Caius. I just figured this out recently. Ironically, this was my username before I started playing Morrowind, before I had even heard of TES.

Minque- Serene is cool. What mods do you use? My pc copy of Morrowind is broken (none of the meshes will load, even after re-installing) but, if I get it fixed, I might want to try some of those out, if I ever happen to have a female character. (probably happen sooner or later, I tend to go through ~3 characters a day, when I'm playing, as well as having ~5 good characters at a time)

Hello i am Florodine, i have been an elder schrollaholic before, for litterally a year and a half i would rush home from school and pop it in. Then do my all my hw for every class, during health. However since i have been awaiting oblivion, i have stopped. I hope to control my self with oblivion, however when it comes out, i think i might trap myself in my room for three days, with some food, some drinks, and quick silent trips to the bathroom.

However for now i am free.

*brakes his legs while running toward that linkey, then gets 8 bottles of... whatewewer *

Hull....oooo... no, damn you, I am not drunk !! I am Milanius and I only need one more glass of shein (hiccc) no, curses, I am notttin the any Club of Eldars Skrol... wha ? Serene ? Aw, lad... what a woman ! The smell (?) of 'er hairs, that fiery look she can give you when you irritate her, and those angelic smiles, when you compliment her healing skills... wha ?! Not real ? Digi-tal ??? What are you saying, fic-tio-nal ?!? Get out'o here, you damn doggwoggle !! *throws a bottle, then falls to the floor*

Yes, I'm an Elderscrollaholic. I'm addicted to Elderscrollahol.

Hello everybody, I'm Proweler and I'm a Elderscrollaholic.

It started Summer 02. I had read in my game magazine that the huge world contained thousands of hand placed items and I figured that such a game has to be good. When I picked up the box I was blown away by the cover, a brown book with plastic golden inscriptions.

I installed the game and I kinda blacked out. I told all my friend about Morrowind and soon everybody was playing. We told each other the stuff we did. Most of that time was one big haze.

Once I finished the game I kept looking for more, I tried modding but because I didn't speak English that good I never bothered to publish them. After I got bored with modding Tribunal and Bloodmoon came out. I played through them as well, delighted with the new fix of Morrowind goodness.

Halfway through I got interested in Lore. I started reading and posting on the Lore forums. I joined in what I now consider the golden age, people were actively discussing lore and doing serious role-playing.

Once I finished Bloodmoon I took a break. It must have been Summer 03 because I went on vacation got a gf and a life for a while and I started playing other games.

Once that all was over I started looking back at the stuff I'd done and I started to play Morrowind again. This time I got really hooked on Lore and once you are hooked there is no way back. If you have been clean for a week you'll suddenly realize something that draws you back all the way in.

That is my story, I hope you enjoyed it and don't feel to bad about your own addiction. You could be me afterall.

Here's my mathematical explanation of Serene.

Sexy+Good Clothes+Good Mother+Uber Skill= Total Hawtie.

Serene has been with me all the time. She is my first charachter, and still the one I actually play , when I play! And the one main person in my fanfic....so she´s kinda important ..for me that is. And I´m glad you like her......

Did you use mods for her face and clothes or are you that good at editing with the CS?

Hi, My Name is Werewolfzz, and I am an Elder Scrollaholic...

BUT I'M REALLY PROUD OF IT..... MUHAHAHAHA

I was fortunate enough to have my hard drive completely crap out on me the last few months of my senior year in college, therefore allowing me to go through withdrawals from Morrowind and ultimately graduate!!!

But here comes Oblivion so I'll be screwed all over again!!! :rofl:
