    When you finally meet Narsis Dren..... OMG

    Oh. My. God. I did only couple of quests in Orsinium so far, but this man is gold.

    My favourite - I start fighting mobs, he just stands around and screams: "Aim for the knee! Aim for the knee!"

    ... i feel pity for the coffin i stuck him in...

    I'd expressed my ... pleasure ... at finally meeting Narsis Dren
    Yeah, I dropped and redid his quest a few times to decide which ending I wanted. He is great on many levels, not just a self-absorbed coward and braggart but also a kind of meta-commentary aimed at Elder Scrolls players. A guy who rolls in, messes with a crypt with no thought for the consequences, and expects levers/panels to lead to a boss fight and an adjacent treasure room. Some gentle poking at the fourth wall.

    and so now I must encourage everyone to take a gander at a truly philosophical look at the metaphysics of ES:

    https://fallingawkwardly.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/the-metaphysics-of-morrowind-part-1/
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...

    One of my favourite NPC lines is a background conversation in one of the EP cities, I forget which it's been a while. When walking around the city you will randomly hear someone yelling "Oh look it's that fancy sot who was in our camp! Hey fancy man, fallen on any swords lately?" makes me chuckle every time.

    anything Skordo says. For example:

    Me: "Why are you in a cage?"
    Skordo: "I needed some quiet time. What do you think?!"

    And High King Emeric's famous line when he's at the Far Shores:

    "Your death matters little, Emeric.. Bah, I can't believe she said that?"
    "We're all born under the same sky and on the same earth. Therefore, we all deserve the same amount of respect."

    That's from a quest you pick up in the town of Ebonheart called "Restoring Order", which has three subquests in which you have to convince groups from each of the three Pact races to work together to protect the town from the Covenant. Then you need to follow the person involved in sowing doubt and distrust, a dunmer named Drathus Othral, who is mocked, as per your quote, by some Nords while he walks around town.

    Mad props to the voice acting done in IC, so many hidden little gems in the combat, quests, and ambiance :)



    "The Elder Scroll is mine!"

    "Fear kills..much to my amusement"

    "Are you listening? Hello? Oh! You're dead...typical"

    I haven't been quoting her, but the Orc chef Orzorga is fun to talk to as well, a great combination of clever writing and excellent voice acting. I like how when you keep pushing her on whether an ingredient is cannibalism, she insists that two Daedric princes confirm that it is not. But when you first meet her, you get started with material like this:

    "Wrathberries are like sharper-tasting snowberries. If you chew a mouthful, they stain your teeth the color of blood. A great intimidation tactic before battle.

    "Or a wedding...if it's a good wedding."
