Don't lose your head over it.


Sometimes guards say something like "What have you been eating? Your breath smells foul" after the Namira questline to get the ring that lets you eat corpses, you filthy cannibal.

If you hold the cursor over a locked door so it says "pick lock" for too long while a guard is nearby they'll say "Don't even think about it."

There's that one Argonian housing thing on the Docks of Windhelm or whatever. I went there just before they were locking up for the night to see what was up. There's this one Argonian there who is apparently really happy. Well, apparently immediately after the conversation they decided it was sleepy time, so this exchange happened..

"I enjoyed this conversation YOU MUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY "

It didn't occur to me at first that this was why she said the LEAVE IMMEDIATELY so I thought this was some kind of hilarious passive aggressive character trait they wrote for her or something but nope.

I've had similar ones before. When the NPC sees you, they go and say something along the lines of GET OUT OF HERE LIZARD SCUM. Then you talk to them "Oh hello, my dear friend!"

I also love having guards idly say "I wonder what the dragonborn does when he's summoned by the Greybeards."

Well Mr. Guard, the dragonborn goes and fucks around tamriel for about 150 hours before going to talk to them.

"It's locked for a reason!"

I cast a spell in Whiterun and a little kid came up and was like "WOW! Magic! Can you make me invisible?" Sure kid, poof, you're invisible.

"Really?" Yep. "I'm gonna go have fun!"

Shine on you, strange, strange little boy.

That entire conversation is hilarious.

My favourite is the bandit quote you hear whilst sneaking. I've probably mangled it.

"My dad always told me to stop being dumb and join the college. How am I meant to know which college he was talking about?!"

There's also a fairly amusing conversation between the necromancers at the end of Hob's Fall cave, with one guy being incredibly enthusiastic and everyone else humoring him, but I can't remember any of the details of that.

I can't quite remember where I saw it, but I'm fairly sure it was when I was approaching Rorikstead from the east. An old couple walk by in ragged clothing, you can't talk to them, but their conversation goes something like:

We walked all that way to see a wedding and didn't even make it on time, now my shoes are ruined!
Your shoes?! We've had our gold stolen by bandits, my clothes torn to shreds by a giant cat, our bodyguard eaten by a dragon, and you're worried about your shoes?!
I swear, when we get back to Cyrodiil I'm hiring a battalion of battlemages to come back here and set fire to the entire province!

The way he says "our bodyguard eaten by a dragon" made me crack up like nothing else has so far in this game.

M'aiq has been in every Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind, and is consistently the best NPC in the game. If you try to pickpocket him, all he has is a bunch of skooma.

Yeah, I remember his quotes about Levitation in Oblivion. And I think multiplayer in Morrowind.

He also has something to say about spears, crossbows, and mysticism.. all of which were dropped.

Pretty sure I saw those folks on the way to the wedding, with their bodyguard. They were quite rude, iirc.

The secret to good health is a balanced diet and unstable healing radiation


One time a guard asked me to enchant his weapon for him, but the game wouldn't let me.

I dunno, sometimes they get annoying but for whatever intangible reason the guards this time round seem more human than the Oblivion ones so quotes like the "took an arrow in the knee" one kinda work.

Still sick of BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE FLAMES, though.

Also "I am SWORN to carry your burdens..." Jesus Lydia could you be more grouchy about it, I was just trying to give you a new weapon <>

One of the guard observations about your skills is something like, "You're a conjurer right? Why don't you conjure me up a chair! " I swear to god, it's like being a cashier in real life. Everyone uses the exact same joke and thinks they are witty as hell.
