"Every notch in the shield has a story. The last story has no notch."

because I still don't know what it means all these years later. The last story hasn't been written yet? The last story is so epic it doesn't have a notch? The last story hasn't ended yet?

The final blow that should have been blocked by the shield (and thus left a notch) wasn't blocked and killed the owner.

That's much better. I was thinking in terms of the owner adding notches rather then then the shield getting "notched" naturally by the hacks and slashes of actual combat.

OHHHH..it's not his shield originally then? I never thought of it that way.

Cadbury

"The skins of those you love will fly as my banners!"

Nothing more to add to this:

Katahdin

The Imperial City quests are probably one of my most favorite. There is some great dialogue in them.

The intro quest:
"I tell you, soldier, a city like this....its just foul. The stench in these sewers--- what have these people been eating?"
- General Nedras

Because you're not an idiot? You're not an idiot are you? Sorry.
-Drake of Blades when asked why she needs our help

Are you joking? Oh. You're not. - Drake of Blades

During the Memoral District quest
Drake: "The worm cultists were storing bones there for a while, but now they tend to avoid it. Locked up tight. It's not all that surprising. It still smells of incense. It feels holy."

Us: "That's enough to keep them out?"

Drake: "Well, I also hanged a few of their leaders in there. Right over the altar. That made an impression."

Later on:
Drake: "It's probably full of cultists. I'll try to thin the herd before you arrive. By that I mean I'm going to kill them all, in case that wasn't clear."

Veles

"My friend! How good it is to see you!"

That one or better... this one

" I took an Arrow to the knee" - O wait, that was Skyrim ;-)

"A realm needs a strong backbone! Well, unless the support really IS a backbone...ever been to Malacath's realm? Nasty stuff."

Anything thr lord warden says. He sounds like he's having fun.

Lord Warden Dusk: "You fools are beneath me! My shadows will contend with you. What did Lyranth promise you? Why aid that wretch? There are no spoils here but death! Her clan deserved their fate; their souls will serve me unendingly."

The goblin interaction with the warcheif in frostvault is funny.

"This won't end well for your majesty. Leave the scroll! Stop this! "

"ATAVAR. WHERE ARE YOU!?"

and a recent one that's grown on me after hearing it at nausium

"Can you believe it? DRAGUNS, in your own homeland. What are you going to do :0"
"This one does not know. But, he hopes his family is save in riverhold :c"

Oh OH!

I'm really fond of the little rhyming attacks from Caillaoife
"Fly away, fly away~"
"Rumble rubble, crash and tumble~"

I have more. But I'll cap it here

"you want to cry me a river? maybe you can float out of Craglorn...."

RoyalPink06

Trade with khajiit? Hmmm?

And every other line the alfiq merchant says

Crucified4sin

For me it's gotta be the simple, Abner Tharn''s some-what derogatory term of "cat" when referring to a khajit. It had me rolling on the floor. xD

Also, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the infamous 'ATAVAR WHERE ARE YOUUUUU?

Ive been in runs where the chat was just quoting the dialogue a couple seconds before the npcs would say it.

psycoprophet

" I used to be am adventurer just like u......until I took a arrow to the knee"
Classic lol

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

Wind-in-Sails, a smuggler on the beach east of Dhalmora in Bal Foyen, after he evacuates you and the rest of the population of Bleakrock at the end of that island's questline:
"I'm so glad I could save all these lives.
And all these coins as well. These poor, innocent coins. I will protect them."

Hapexamendios

Corentin Clavarie: "You want to cry me a river? Go ahead. Maybe you can float out of Craglorn." Love it

This line has haunted me in the past :

Pay attention you daedra, it’s never the same twice!

Look, the challengers trying again.....

My all-time favorite quote is from the Dark Brotherhood DLC:

Spoiler

XIIICaesar

And that's when I said that's what she said

BlueViolet

Abnur Tharn: "I find it hilarious that Mannimarco chose such a massive projected appearance. He's obviously overcompensating for something."

Rozag gro-Khazun: "You desecrate a few old graves, and already the Bretons are back to complain."

InaMoonlight

lion_heart_2000ub17_ESO

Zayaza, the traveling merchant in Wrothgar.



All of her lines have a certain charm in them to me, but this one especially gets my attention:

"This one is certain that she can fulfill your every need and desire. What? I am talking about my trade goods. What did you think I meant?"

I think we all know what this pretty kitty was really getting at here. ¬_¬

Feral

My favorite, which I use oft in RL is, "To Oblivion with you!"

FrancisCrawford

During this event I've become reacquainted with "We stole from the rich and gave to ourselves."

Meanwhile, I see that UESP has one of my favorites, which indeed was in my signature at Tamriel Foundry until I thought about inappropriate it could be for a message board:

"I highly doubt that the God of Schemes is engaged in banal conversation right now. Perhaps we should follow his example?"

Even if you don't know that latter quote, you can surely guess who it's from.
