    I logged into the game after dealing with the frustration of a RL extended renovation project. My toon was standing in a city. Before i could even make a move, an npc approached and said, "How are your renovations going?"

    I seriously considered closing down the computer and walking away.

    "And as a little girl I wanted a pet guar I could decorate with ribbons and call Penelope. But we don't always get what we want. Especially in war."

    Now I want to decorate mine, too.. both pet and mounts. WTB ribbons^^

    What I also find kinda funny is when I hear NPCs saying "The Hero of Davon's Watch!" or "The Hero of Koeglin Vlillage!", no matter where I go (the first I've even heard in Coldharbour lol).

    Besides of that, I'd love to have these available as a title :)

    "What are you still doing here? The vampires won't bleed themselves you know."
    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.

    I don't quite remember but it involved a blood-soaking legend to keep yourself young and a vampire-related quest in Valenwood...I came back after completing the quest and finding out that the whole 'bathe yourself in blood to stay young' ritual was just a hoax. And you know what one of her lines said?

    "I tried that once, made me feel all crusty."

    And the bosmer try to convince us that they are not savage......

    Met an interesting Imperial in Cyrodiil, one Jaretius Illvina. He's hosting this ... party, and trying to be friendly:

    "It's good to hear party chatter at last.

    Oh wait, it's my turn isn't it? Well, I'm a necromancer by trade. I dabble a bit in taxidermy, but that's just a hobby."

    ... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it.Santie Claws

    "I bet you have to study just to be a half-wit!" -- Guard, Elden Root

    Also, has anyone noticed how every time you do something nice for an Argonian NPC, they reply with a version of "You are the sun on my scales!". I know lizards are cold-blooded but still... a little variety perhaps? Have yet to finish a quest involving an Argonian that hasn't mentioned the sun and their scales XD

    I also love anything a Khajiit says. "This one..." :)

    Well, I ran into an Argonian guard who warned me that I should pay my bounty because he is "an egg on a precipice" and is about to crack. Loved the voice acting on that one. I wasn't the sun on his scales.

    Favorite line is from Oblivion , still Elder Scrolls related. The Orc that says "Well ain't you the High Tom Titty?!" and anything about "taking an arrow to the knee". We still reference those in this house whenever I am caught in one of the back in my day lectures to our adult children.
