You know you're addicted when...

[Raijin]

 

[Mr. Saturn]

you see a "harvest" prompt when looking at plants

 

[Moris]

You're cooking dinner and your spouse (who is playing on the PS3) calls you into the living room to ask, "Which ingredients fortify smithing, again?" and you name them without thinking.

 

[Zolo-Shea]

I had that Ragnar the Red song stuck in my head at work today. Without a radio, stereo, or headphones, I was powerless but to hum it pretty much the entire day.

Attempt a sneak attack critical on your neighbor.

 

[carz101]

When you haven't played Skyrim for a couple of months, realize this, and suddenly it's all you can play.

 

[Captain Nagisus]

When you hear your cat, wanting food, going "Ma-a-aaaowr" (like Maowr but with three jittery syllables) and think "That would be one weird shout" before you think "Better feed the cat."

True story.

 

[CliffyByro]

you dream that you are your character

 

[Irish]

When I joined this site...and spent more time browsing through the discussions here than seeing what's happening on Facebook.

 

[Exelex]

When you have the main theme for Skyrim as your ringtone.... (don't judge me)

 

[Daedra'Mc'Bitch]

When you propose to your girlfriend with this:

You think it is acceptable to put baskets on peoples head.

 

[Stigweard Ruadhan]

When you begin 'crafting' sandwiches and 'enchanting' a cup of tea...

 

[Shyrith]

When you are talking to someone, get tongue tied and end up talking with the accent some female nords have.

 

[Skyrimosity]

For about an hour, you truly and honestly forget that the outside world exists. Not my fault... was RP'ing a hunter and I had to keep my focus

 

[Moris]

When you wake up in a panic because you sleepily realize that in real life you've already completed most of the major quests and you don't just get to start a new character.

 

[CraftyAllie]

When you haul multiple tv's into the same room just so you and your friends can play Skyrim "together".

 

[ZE MELON]

Arrow in the knee jokes start making sense

 

[Stigweard Ruadhan]

When you take an arrow to the knee and hope that the doctor who deals with you is a Skyrim fan so you can both revel in the sheer unadulterated irony of it all...

 

[Moris]

You've been wanting a tattoo for 10 years, but could never settle on a design. Now, you're seriously considering an Elder Scrolls tattoo, but you can't decide which, and you're concerned about the ramifications. I mean, what if you get the College of Winterhold logo on your calf and you end up being treated (for that arrow in the knee problem so common to adventurers like us) by a magic hating Nord doctor who blames you for sinking half his city in the ocean?
