    They really do give Argonians some of the best dialogue.

    From the Bends-Iron, the Blacksmith in the Hollow City...

    Vestige: What brought you to Coldharbour?
    Bends-Iron: A portal. How did you get here?
    Vestige: No, I mean, why did you come here?
    Bends-Iron: Because that's where the portal sent me. Aren't you listening? Did you get hit in the head? Perhaps you should go over to the Mages Guild and see one of their healers.

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.

    In Craglorn there is an Argonian refugee trying to sell his valuables to a Breton to be able to leave Craglorn. However, the Breton isn't interesting in helping the poor guy..

    "You want to cry me a river? Go ahead. Maybe you can float out of Craglorn." :p

    In the Thieves Guild DLC, Lithindur inside Thieves Den has some funny lines, although not exactly one liners.. and his voice makes it fun to listen xD

    "Mad Alchemist? Do they really call me that? No? Well, they should. I think the title suits me."

    I laughed hard when I heard Molag Bal say this, seeing me in the mainquest.

    "What is this? Has your tiny mortal mind snapped?"

    The sheer arrogance and bewilderment. Its like he looks at you and he is genuinely rattled that you would actually dare to challenge him.

    I think this one was from Oblivion, Rockmilk cave, was it? This guy goes "You walk like a pregnant cow." That makes me chuckle to this day.

    Lyris: "Hey, Tharn; know why the Gods gave you a nose?"

    Tharn: "And why is that?"

    Lyris: "So you can shut your mouth and still breathe."

    I actually laughed at that one. Well written, and well timed by the voice actors. :D

    I passed an NPC and I thought they said to ME, "One more drink and you'll look good". I dropped everything I was doing at that moment, my jaw dropped, I am standing there as he walks away with not even a glance back at me. I'm suddenly mortified that I'm not as beautiful as I believed myself to be... And now you tell me it was about someone else? :dizzy_face: Well good!

    Gotta say Razum Dar is a charmer, but I also love the things Pacrooti writes to me about his stealing opportunities, if that counts.
    I loved getting mail from Pacrooti.

    Sadly, that witty furball no longer sends me mail...

    Upon asking Velsa to
    be my date to the wedding she and telling her "She's very important to me" she replies:
    "That's... no. Absolutely not. Pull those thoughts back inside your trousers, set them afire, and bury their remains."

    I apparently missed a lot of good dialogue when Craglorn I missed when Craglorn first came out. Comes with some great advice:

    "A spike in the arse will kill you just as dead as a sword in the belly." - Sellineth Skeever-Face

    "You don't think there are trolls in the arena, do you? I hate trolls. And ogres. And ducks. I really hate ducks. I guess I hate all the things. " -Legodir the Daunted

    Legodir has multiple dialogues that pop up randomly. Not sure if my fave is about the ducks or wanting to use a spear to avoid spurting blood.

    Naryu is OK, but there is a drunk Argonian in a tavern that is hilarious. Forget his name.
