Ambigous not really spoiler? More like a teaser for those who haven't plaid Gold Road yet. But just to be cautious...

"Guess the world's lucky we're not both necromancers or we'd be able to claim these ruins for ourselves." - Toutis Mido in the West Weald

Bastian, after I ran into some lost maormer on summerset and killed all of them:

"It's never a mistake to help others. One of the most important things you can do in this life is to let other people know they're not alone."

In this random encounter this sounds uncharacteristically dark and it always makes me laugh because of that.

"Skingrad? Who is Grad and why are we skinning him?" - Razburzog

Got a little behind. A quick one for now...

This to me is one of the best lines in the game. Just listen to the phrasing and the dramatic pause before the word... mudcrabs.

Myrnhiel

I really had to laugh about this one... thinking about the "hoarding problem" a lot of TES players have - me included, because... you never know, right?

I think, she really hits the nail on the head with this one...

"They say if the insects do not eat you, the forest will. I wonder if that is true.
Go find out." - Hantaari

' I have that effect on people, especially my relatives ' - Abner Tharn

Of course crime pays, otherwise there wouldn't be any crime!

Dallying with a light catch, sure!

there's an NPC in one of the outlaw refuges that tells you something like "You smell delicious"

auracite

Such dreams and aspirations, soon to be cut short

"After how many failed incursions should this Lord of Domination seek to change his name?" - taunt by Zerith-var after thwarting a Dark Anchor

Scruut: "Vomitous."

Moderators, I'm saying this now since we can't say it after you take actions. Don't you dare close this forum for being old. It's still entirely relevant, will remain relevant for the entire lifespan of the game, and is enjoyable to read through.

Some ones I enjoy come from the NPCs in combat. I often like saying "To the side!" "Flank, now!" Or my personal favorite " I'm hURT!~"

Noticed this while doing another play through of the base game:

"We'd better get going. You lot can murder your friend on the way to Velyn Harbor." - Glanir

After everyone is outside on the shore next to the entrance Crimson Cove chatting upon completion of the quest Export Business in Malabal Tor.

"Mara's Crotch! They've summoned a gods-damned Sea Serpent!" - Prowler Crew Member during an ocean battle in Malabal Tor.

"By Akatosh's scales your help is welcome"
"A'tavar! where are you" The delivery of that line is funny.
"Oh look its Meeerrill!" says it like hes entering the club and not some spider and vampire infested cave.

Two fun lines from the same encounter:

"I summoned the Prince of Mathness."

"Next time, I will endeavor not to bite my tongue when communing with Daedric entities"

I LOLed hard at that NPC, esp the name. Made me want to tag Matt Parker.

Ulozug the Jovial at the Everlasting Fair is great, too. I would like him as a houseguest.

Non-spoiler one that just makes me crack every time:

Sharp-as-Night "Skill issue." after we finish a group of enemies.

You'd be forgiven for thinking the ESO developers are all very prudish (given the various costume/outfit limitations), but that hypothesis is in for some stiff competition with NPC lines such as this.
