I'm obsessed with eficiency, I take time to see which spells will have the most effect if I use an entire mana bar casting it, to the point where I only use like 6 of my 30 spells, I also heavily weight my items weight-to-possible-profit ratio, for every hour of adventuring I have 15 minutes of inventory management.

I also like to put on normal clothes and walk around and enjoy the scenery, catch some butterflies, a few fish, and pick flowers.

I don't like talking to people with my helmet on or my weapons drawn, it's just rude.

Like the OP I've got a sleep schedule going and don't adventure at night.

Finally I won't ever travel at night, this is a mostly practial thing, but I also have to find an inn and sleep there. Somehow I've unintentionally ended up roleplaying day and night cycles pretty well.

So what are you're weird character quirks you've developed?
This happened to me too until I joined the companions. Then once I no longer got a bonus from resting I gave up and just wait now. It's quicker.

Quirk of my character: To always try and complete as many Misc tasks as possible. I hate having a long list of quests in my system and try and get rid of as many as possible. It looks horrible having so many quests. However this does mean I have only done like 7-8 important quests, 10 side quests and nearly 200 Misc quests...

My character has developed this odd quirk where he will occasionally freeze in place mid action and be unable to account for what he's done to his enemies. And now he has apparently acquired the power of a wind god because he insists on making this loud whistle-y noise everywhere he goes.

...actually, I think that might just be the ferocious lag on PS3 causing my game to glitch like a mother fucker.

I think mine may may have some personality issues.
At one point, he's spreading the word of Mara, happy happy all around.
Then he goes and murder people, or sacrificing friends, for some daedric princes.
He's also an extremely kleptomanic thief.
Many are now walking around naked.
One would think they'd notice after a few days, but I guess I'm just that good.

I concur. It's kinda odd to see people referring to them in third person. Isn't it your creation, therefore a virtual you? Weird.
On the contrary, this is something people have been doing for years. Decades even. It's called role playing. You create a character and pretty much pretend to be them as you play. Might not seem normal to those that don't do it, but it's just another way to make the game more fun to those of us that do :D

Besides, if we cared about what's normal we wouldn't even be here.

Well, my current character is pretty standard Nordic hero stuff, with the exception that he has a severe gambling addiction (that has lost him his entire family fortune) and he's an alcoholic. He also doesn't have the magic-phobia most Nords seem to have.

I really wish they had some gambling mini-games in the cities. Seems like something the Khajiit would introduce.

No, Raj have no quirks. Pretty normal person.

Other then when on moonsugar. Or Skooma.

Ok, Raj have many bad habits. Cant help but eat everything pick up. "What giants toe taste like? BLARG! Taste like Damage Stamina!"

Raj also collects Buckets. Wife Mjoll complain. "Why you must have room full of buckets!?!?" she always ask. "What if person want to steal Raj bukkit? Must have many in case they do!" i tell her. She not understand.

Worst habit of all? Raj hate wearing helmet. To confining. So when combat start, Raj not get any armor bonus. Get butt kicked because leather hood cramp style.
Make me look like necrophiliac. Raj not want to look like necrophiliac!
Time he sleep with corpse was complete accident. Honest.

..... Should probably lay off sweetroll. They make Raj do strange things. Stick to moonsugar from now on.
I love how you take pains to consistently answer in character. Never had the guts to do that outside of roleplay circumstances.

Black-Scale: "I must steal ALL THE THINGS. And never sell them, for they are MINE!"
Me: "Yeah, but you're poor as all shit and you've almost killed Titus Mede by now. It's kinda getting problematic-
Black-Scale: "MINE!"
Me: "Uh, yeah, sure. Whatever. What about you, Speaks-With-Fire?"
SWF: "Oh, nothing much." *shifty look* "I just kill Thalmor on sight, and I go out of the way to Shout in the air, when nobody's around, so I don't disturb or hurt anything. I tried using Wuld in town, but it's gotten me in trouble a few times."

*he makes his neck crack a bit*

SWF: "I, uh, tend to use Wuld in the worst places possible, too. I had to gurgle for some peasants to cart me back to Whiterun because I'd broken my neck after falling off a cliff. It's happened twice already. Thank the Divines for healing magic!"

I am a master of Smithing and a master of Destruction magic, yet I only make iron daggers and leather helmets, and I only ever use "flames". My use of flames has nothing to do with a lack of skill, I am just too lazy to put a better spell in my favorites menu. More than that, I call myself a Pyromancer, making an effort to only learn fire-based destruction magic.

My character has many quirks of a stereotypical dnd PC.
I have to enchant EVERYTHING I get my hands on. It subsided a little since my enchantment hit 100, but everything I carry with me MUST be enchanted. I got an enchanted pickaxe. Why do I need my pickaxe enchanted? I dunno, I wanna drain 18 points of health from the silver vein apparently.
I'm a pyro. My favorite spells are fire storm, fireball, firebolt, and incinerate, in that order.
I'm incredibly greedy. I'm at 70,000 septims, and I can't stand it when my bartering with a merchant leaves them with more than 20 gold. I have to sell them something to make up the difference. I also can't stand getting a bad deal out of it. I have a masque of Clavicus vile and some other items enchanted to get me better deals buying and selling.
I approach most quests as either "How much XP do I get?"(In the form of training destruction magic or the sort), or "What kind of phat lewts am I looking at getting?". As a byproduct, I go out of my way for quests to get houses (Got one in solitude, markarth, whiterun, and am arch-mage of mage's college, so that's my character's home there).

My guy, when finding something to wear, doesn't care what the armor rating is on the attire (well....not that much). As long as he looks good while wearing it, he will take it with him or put it on. If he can't carry it, he gives it to Farkas to wear.

Everyone at my shop is looking at me like I'm an idiot, cause I can see a Khajiit eating it and them going 'BLARG!' I can't stop laughting.

Despite the fact that Argonians and Dark Elves don't have a very good history, my Argonian actually likes Dark Elves. He had a Dark Elf follower named Erandur who helped him in combat until he died fighting to save the College of Winterhold. He was very saddened by his loss.

And now he is strangely attracted to Breylna the Dark Elf student there. Despite the fact he is now the Arch Mage and a teacher/student relationship between an Argonian and a Dark Elf wouldn't look good to anyone. 0_o

Now if only Bethesda would just patch her quest already so I can finish it! >_<

My Imperial Katniss (in game called Soren because I wasn't able to think of a different name until after I finished creating my character) besides her habit of taking pretty much everything that isn't nailed down to a corpse and/or dungeon, everything in her house in Whiterun has to be arranged just so. Soul Gems and jewels go in the nightstand on the left, jewelry in the nightstand on the right, weapons in the chest, clothes and armor in the dresser, scrolls and notes in that one cabinet, potions in that other nightstand, random stuff in that dresser downstairs, books in the bookshelves, ingredients in the chest in the alchemy lab, and food stuff in the cabinet by the cooking fire.

It only makes sense!

Relax guys, we're just having a little fun is all.
