...You need to pass a test, so you attack squirrels in your backyard in the hope of leveling up and adding points to your wisdom stat.

You will activly seek out and distory cults because they might have some valueble equipment you can use.

You think that battle operate on a turn baised system of one type or another.

You think that sleep will cure nearly any injury you obtain.

You consider it a bad omen when you sleep in late and your Mom wakes you up.

You get hurt and cram all manner of food down your throat in a futile effort to heal your self.

You try to find people willing to join your party and follow directly behind you without missing a single step you made.

You fight people of authority thinking it is a boss battle.

You think it's a good idea to grab that sword in the stone.

You walk into Target and ask why their "armor" and "boots" don't have stats with them.

...And after you get a strange look, attempt to sell them your "basic sword" and "red potion".

...And finally, after being arrested for weapons violations, attempt to escape jail by first walking into every wall to make sure they are not fake, crawling under the bed to look for keys, mashing the "a" button to see if the guards will talk to you, and lastly touching everything in the room to see if it is a switch.

You douse red things with water, because it's super effective.

You answer all questions as yes and no.

If you make a request and the answer given to you will not suffice, each time the undesirable answer is given, you'll say something like, "But you must!" followed by the entire original question again until your desired answer is obtained. Only then can you proceed.

You wonder why the ribbon in your hair didn't stop the poison.

You walk into a car dealership and ask if they have any airships in stalk, then wonder why you've been asked to leave.

You attack PETA because they tried to interfear with your level grinding.

You walk into random people's houses and take their stuff. Then you wonder why they call the police.

Your backpack can hold 99 of a certain item and it would only take up the space of one.

Everytime you swat a fly, you see little numbers pop up showing you what damage you done to it.

....then, once it is dead, you try and sell bits and pieces of it for money.

You don't understand the concept of seasons, night and day cycles, or why it isn't possible to have a desert, jungle, deciduous forest, and tundra within a ten minute walk of eachother.

You wear the same clothes you wear during the day when you go to sleep. This includes accessories, armour, and what have you. This is so that when your mom wakes you up for oversleeping, you can jump out of bed and start bothering townsfolk.

You will take turns beating each other up until one of you passes out.

Don't worry about dying: You'll just wake up earlier in the day.

You will hear ominous music no matter where you go.

The days are extremely short.

You can cram 2 swords and a spear in your backpack, but you no longer have room for this piece of paper.

Bigger sword = More pain.

Villians will build intricate mazes to lead you to items that will aid in his defeat.

You can't get it through your head that you're not a tadpole.

You try to pick up a sword that's larger than you are.
You think that even if you pick up the sword, you'll know how to use it.
You don't manage to learn an ability until you level up or you use some kind of research thing on it.
You look for guilds
You use Gold Weapons even though it's too soft to actually use as a weapon
you wonder if you can take less damage from a gun than you can with a sword. (...debatable)
You try to use a limit break when someone's bothering you
You start wearing multiple belts
You develop a case of anemia, dye your hair white, start slimming down, and putting on Mascara and blue lipstick.
You wonder why people don't sound the same
You wonder why people react weird when you hold a weapon in their face to bother them
You start looking for the omnipresent camera following you before determining it must be a first-person.
You treat the library as an explorable dungeon and wonder why no enemies come out to get you, or why the walls don't look similar every step of the way
If you get someone to join you you wait for them to walk into you
You try to do stuff like carry a sled with you until the cows come home
You wonder why carrying a quest item actually weighs you down. It sure didn't in Oblivion
you start opening an instruction manual to find out how to do stuff like drop things because it's oh so complicated
you look for all the key bindings
And for the overcomplicated interface
You say your responses are preprogrammed when someone asks you a question.
You determine it was a saving throw for EVERYthing.
You announce your attacks
you attempt to shoot multiple arrows at once
You somehow attempt to be able to shoot a bow perfectly despite lacking the muscles or training.
You think all musicians and storytellers are spoony
You boot someone who starts off stronger than you into the reserve troops because they may possibly be a Jeigan who will leech experience.
If they aren't old, then they are an Oifey
you continue to train a weak looking little girl who joins when your day/adventure is almost over because you just KNOW an Est when you spot one!
You walk in place and wonder why no one else does that
You never trust the Church because it's corrupted 60-100% of the time
You never use anything that can cause an instant death because it will never work
You also will never fight with Poisons because they never work
You look for a kind of green vegetable to cure someone who's gone berserk
You turn around and run in place to get a running start when you want to run away
You expect anyone who is a dwarf to speak with a scottish or irish sounding accent and to be obsessed with drinking
you expect to look for elves in every forest
you are a human so you have a welsh sounding name or just a name that uses "Y" as a vowel like Gwynfor.
"Y" is usually a vowel for you.
Swords are always the weapon of choice. Even over longbows.
You try to knock someone up in the air with your spear.
You can always use a single edged sword made for slashing the same way as one would use a double edged sword meant for stabbing.
You can use ANYTHING as a weapon. Even dolls or bags.

You find it strange that people you've lived with for over a decade don't have trouble remembering your name.


EDIT: Ok, seriously. One-three per post people. No need to take every possible answer for yourself.
