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...3 -

✭✭✭✭I'd expressed my ... pleasure ... at finally meeting Narsis Drentinythinker wrote: »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...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis1 -

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.One of my favourite NPC lines is a background conversation in one of the EP cities, I forget which it's been a while.

Flyzardi✭✭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"
"Where are you aiming? Focus on the DOOR you fool!"
"Are you listening? Hello? Oh! You're dead...typical"
"These daedra plot and whisper, you see, and The Rat listens. He always listens."
"I'll try to thin the heard before you arrive-- by that I mean I'm going to kill them all, in case that wasn't clear"4 -
Flyzardi✭✭Oh also thought this was quite clever, found in an Orsinium quest:
"the best strategies are passed on by the survivors...adhere to the style that defeats your opponents"3 -

"Where are you aiming? Focus on the DOOR you fool!"
I think that one is a sly nod to the film "The Italian Job" (the original with Michael Caine, not the remake) in which during one scene you see them blow up a cash in transit van and then Michael Caine says "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."6 -

✭✭✭✭✭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."❤Experienced, new, returner?❤ Help keep ESO's community strong ᕙ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ᕗ -- share what you love about the game, offer constructive feedback, and make friends.ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
