Because you managed to apply your imagination to a DikuMUD....to combat. To me that's interesting because I cannot do that.
The only thing that is stimulated for me in ESO is my libido and only then by fantasy characters with dark skin.
When I see all those Redguard Wyrd sisters in Malabal Tor I imagine a culture in Alik'r that rejects lesbians. This suggests things to me when Wyress Rashan - gorgeous Redguard - talks about showing my very dark dark elf gal (Varlea in screen shot above) the hospitality of her sisters.
But, alas, Varlea is far more interested in Redguard men with large biceps. She hangs out in a bar in Sentinel but turns out, hung over and fortified with a nip from a flask, to the weekly sermon at the Tribunal Temple in Mournhold. She gets her dose of ALMSIVI and returns to Sentinel.
The sermon last week was about the loneliness people feel when they turn away from The Three. She considers this. Lonely in the morning, perhaps, but not in the evening, she concludes.
This sort of rumination is easy on the landscape. This is how I get a sense of my various characters' personalities....probably because so much of my youth was involved with seduction and sex and how a person prone to intense serial attractions copes with the fall out of people who develop feelings for you. But actual intimacy would ruin everything....wouldn't it?
Combat in this sort of game is difficult for me. It makes me anxious, not imaginative. When playing on the EU server with this guild, my main was Andala and, yes, she had fun in Dungeons but only after the final boss was dead and she could slip into another outfit.
Here she is with Halle Balle, one of this guild's founders and former guild master at the end of Direfrost Keep. Standing nearby is Gaius Sulla, another founder of this guild.
Or, before the battle perhaps....
But the actual dungeon was all business. No dreams, no RP, nothing imaginative. So many players find PvE in this game so easy they have room in their heads for such things
Or perhaps I misunderstood entirely. When you say, in dungeons, I assume you meant while fighting.
