    Whilst this isn't technically an NPC one-liner. It's one of the funniest player responses in game i think..

    My favorite line is from a merchant in craglorn she says "My wife told me I need to move more product, so I took the shields out of the crate and put them in a barrel. I don't know how that's supposed to help our business, but she has always been the brains in the family"

    The first time i heard it i just wanted to sell stuff, then i processed what she actually said and i backed out and talked to her again to confirm what I thought I heard her say.... Too funny

    Neither a borrower nor a lender be

    Because many people hated it. I miss the phrase though. But it holds has some truth in it. Don't borrow from others and don't lend to others. That way you won't owe somoene and you don't have to worry someone who owes you won't pay back.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. 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."

    Well, if you also count irritating comments, that guy in the Bank of Mournhold who wants to know if you are looking for the banck of Mornhold.
    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 Draconis

    Good to see some gender non-conforming elements in the game. I'm sure there are plenty of Nord women who can grow some serious facial hair without a potion, but they probably Dreugh wax it off.

    I think repeats are cool, they show how popular some lines are. I was going to post the one about "cat p#ss" after going through Eastmarch again but also noticed it had already been done. I just love the way the actor delivers that line: "Cat p#ss? Who throws cat p#ss on people?!" Love it!
