There's an Ordinator quote in Mournhold "What are the Altmer so proud of? They're just arrogant, ancestor-worshipping fools" or something along those lines (I'll have to hang around Mournhold when I get home to write it out).

@KenjiJU, aren't you a brave one.

OP, it's between:

"I don't like to drink....I...like to drink."

and

"This one knows you had hoped for something more personal."

"So you're the one who saved the queen aye??? You don't look that special." - Random AD guards.

Only once I heard a female Nord in Eastmarch say to me sarcastically: "So I heard you touched a glowing egg and talked to a tree... Must have been strange."

"Who wants to see how hard I can punch!??!" - Randon drunken Nord.

I've had one of my personal favorite in my signature for some time: "I don't know why I bother guarding you horrible people...." A personal guard to 2 Dunmer snobby chicks.

Anything by Raz, Naryu, and Irrai the Twighlight as well.

Yep! Exactly! LOL! And the actress who did her... they really need to keep giving her work. She nailed that character perfectly. I do hope to see that character and actress return in future content.

Absolutely one of the best played characters in the game. (Far better than slow-speak-Azura, which was quite disappointing. (Where is the ominous voice from TES III?))

Had just the right amount of attitude and 0-to-crazy in 2.3 seconds to fit the characters perfectly.

Almost offed her on autopilot when the barked at me "Do it! I spent a thousand years..."

When the game elicits a direct emotional response from the player, it's spot on.

From a bank guard in Rawl'kha: "If your gonna climb the ugly tree - trim the lower branches first!"

I was in The Rift (in the city of Riften) playing a female Argonian character who was riding past a guard who said, "So tell me, are (young?) Argonian maidens really..." I was riding fast and missed the end of his comment, though.

I think he finishes "...you know." There's a significant pause between "really" and "you know".

I kinda like the drunk woman in Coldharbour who says (to my female char) "You look familiar. Were we flirting just a little while ago?" I did stop by and see her after she relocated to the Hollow City.

"Too many Argonians about these days; makes me nervous." - heard in the Davon's Watch branch of the Mages Guild on Halloween as an all-Argonian guild was meeting up their to show their costumes. There were indeed quite a few Argonians about...

GRELL!

I didn't see it listed so forgive me if I repeat but in Craglorn last night, I heard a guard say something like, "If you were to speak your mind, would you be speechless?"

Whisper292

"A little less drilling and little more action would suit me just fine." Daggerfall guard


"They say an undead werewolf attacked Camlorn. An undead . . . werewolf? How does that even work?"

tinythinker

Visit the Crossroads Tavern in Belkarth (Craglorn) and speak to the drunken Argonian named Laughs-at-Turtles who is staggering about the place. He has several potential responses that would fit in this thread.

Someone stole his sweetroll...

Recently I've been enjoying the messages from clicking on the Argonian guards in Cyrodiil...

"Proper behavior is like an egg that hatches good citizenship."
