    Yep. Nicolene. With her schoolgirl crush on Kaleen. Meanwhile, Kaleen has a schoolgirl crush on Faharajad. I'm not sure which of the two I like less.

    then she pops back up in Shornhelm like "I hate you but help me anyway."

    Help you with what?

    "Save Kaleen"?

    why should I?

    Should have an option to tell her to kick rocks, cause didn't you say you never wanted to see me again?

    Nicolene stands out because the rest of that group is pretty awesome. Still, she didn't come to mind when I was considering obnoxiousness more broadly across Tamriel.

    To pick somebody who hasn't been mentioned yet, I really hate Vila Theran.

    Warlock Carindon is pretty bad too. He's one of the Vanus/Neramo kind of smug and supercilious Altmer mages, but actually evil to boot.

    Maybe not an npc but... main protagonist. I love my main but in each dialogue he behave like a total idiot, not because I choose to roleplay idiot but zos is unable to create choices or even a hero who is smart and don't need to ask "what is necromancy?" while being a necromancer.

    Aren't these questions usually optional?

    Question like example above would be optional but often game forces you to be stupid to push quest. Most player dialogue options are simply bad (intimidate and persuade are often great tho and introduce a little more character to your char)

    Those in my opinion are the two most valuable passives in the game! they cut short long winded missions or can stop a mission progressing dead if you don't have them.

    I agree with everyone who's said Lady Laurent, I can't stand her. It's not even 'love to hate', I get no joy out of any encounter and just want her to treat Stibbons better.

    For one that hasn't been mentioned yet - Jakarn. I'm not really sure what I was supposed to like about a guy who lies to people repeatedly to use them. Reminds me of someone I used to know who hurt some of my friends and I just can't with him, sorry.

    All the hate that Abnur gets is totally unmerited. He is not only well written, but the voice acting is top tier. And he acts the way you'd expect a Tharn to act, if you know the plot of Arena.

    Khamira. Don't understand why my imperials must help her. Took me 2 month to force myself to finish Elsweyr with one character, and looks like it is also the last character that have done that quest line.

    Queen Ayrenn. She is too... excessive. So good, so progressive... So indifferent to her nation. Run away to have fun, returned back to clame throne, spit on traditions and culture, start a war... She doesnt know how to rule at all. She does all she can to *** off her people and wondering why they are angry. Alliance with some "low races", war, job losses, opening borders... It like a list of "what shouldn't be done". Though the game is convincing that all that is "good". And all who dislike are just narrowminded... stupid people.

    The two characters above (and there are others) ... Whith them I have the feeling that the game is trying to force me to like them. It is poking them in my face "look how great they are! You must like them! They are ideal! Like them!". It makes me feel nauseated when I see them :/

    And all NPC that are running around and shouting. Stuga, from FG, about dragons, about Alexandra Conele greatly miss an addon to shut them up... :(

    Stuga of course. But also most despised, is the bard outside of the Flaming Nix in Mournhold. Athanas Samori has annoyed me for years with is horrible howling. He is the reason I have asked that we have the ability to shut bards up. I have always wanted to be able to bash them once to send them running away. I don't care if I get a bounty. It would be worth it!

    It just baffles me that NPCs like Stuga and "Dragons?!" aren't on a timer or a trigger. No one took the time to say "Huh. That might get annoying."?

    The Mute NPC addon for PC is my favorite mod by a mile.

    I was playing on PS4 back at launch and I guess I just snapped one day when I went to Vulkhel Guard too many times. I quit and didn't come back for five years - after I couldn't remember why I quit. Stuga reminded me in the first hour. I would have turned right around back to GW2 or FFXIV if it wasn't for Harven. o7

    To you Francis, @Hippie4927 & anyone else for that matter, if you have not seen it, then I would recommend that you watch a few episodes of the British sit-com, "To the Manor Born."

    Lady Laurent reminds me so much of Lady Audrey fforbes-Hamilton (played by Penelope Keith) and Brabinger her put upon yet devoted butler. Keith was made for the part, so I just imagine her speaking Laurent's lines. Then it all makes sense.

    Verandis Ravenwatch.
    "I'm the noble ethical vampire!"

    Uh huh.
    First impression on finding out he's a vampire: He'll chide his people for being overeager while feeding, but doesn't care that the village right below his castle is suffering from the blood-curse. Screw you, Verandis.
    Then come to find out that he lacked the courage to hold to his convictions about not turning the Montclairs, thus precipitating the crisis in Rivenspire.
    At every turn, he was completely played by Reezal-Jul. Why does Emeric think so highly of him again?
    At,the Doomcrag, he fails to predict an obvious trap my Vestige saw coming a mile away (curse you, limited dialogue options!) and then makes the "noble sacrifice" to save everyone that somehow ends up handing a powerful artifact over to Molag Bal. Hmm...

    Yeah, my Vestige was not happy.

    As a player, I'd have been more okay with it if it it weren't obvious that writers loved Verandis and wanted us to love him too. I didn't. I thought he was a blatant Gary Stu who everyone in Rivenspire gave a free pass despite obvious problems with his actions.
    Yeees. I've recently done Rivenspire and I can't fathom why people like him. He hit the top tierr of the most disliked list fast.

    Yes, Nicolene. She's there with Verandis.

    Along with:
    Lady Laurent, for being an awful person who gets no conseqences for her horrible behaviour.

    Sheogorath. I dislike the change in voice actor and find it badly exaggerated. "Oh, I'm so random and mad! Heeheehee". He's used way too much aswell. No thanks, even though they made him a bit better in Elsweyr.
    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!

    Amelie Crowe. I am not a murderer or assassin and woud never join Dark Brotherhood with any of my characters in any of the Elder Scrolls games. And she waits for me in every Outlaw refuge with her "psssst". I wish there was an option to get rid of her, declining the quest once and for all, or even an optional quest line to destroy the Brotherhood, like in Skyrim.

    Rigurt might be a dumdum, but he always means well. He gives nice presents to other NPCs, he wants to make peace between the alliances, he seeks out the best aspects of the places he visits, and most of all he really likes his job and is 110% enthusiastic about it.

    If more people were like Rigurt, the world would be a better place.
