Here's an idea for a longish thread -- what are some of the names have you been called by NPCs (including cases where the name is only used to describe you to a third party)? And, as a trivia challenge, who calls you these things?

For starters, there are:
  • Vestige
  • Comrade
  • Adept
  • Initiate
  • Undaunted
  • Wet one
  • Soulless one
  • Citizen
  • Traveler
  • The pebble in my shoe, the thorn in my side
  • Good-looking
  • Dog(s), filth
  • Murderer
  • Puppy-killer
  • New meat

Also, although I'm blanking on who exactly calls one these things:
  • N'wah
  • S'wit
  • Hero
  • essi2

    N'wah is a Altmer slur used against newcomers/outsiders.

    S'wit is Dunmer, and as afar as I can recall is similar to calling someone an idiot/moron.


    Hero, multiple people I think, Naryu I think calls you Hero multiple times.

    N'wah is Dunmer, meaning idiot/fool or something like that. The word you're thinking of is Nebarra, which means unwelcome

    N'wah is the Dunmer slur for outlanders.

    Nebarra is the Altmer equivalent.

    Hero, multiple people I think, Naryu I think calls you Hero multiple times.

    Of course on the first two. I THINK guards insult you in those terms, among others, when you're caught stealing.


    Naryu sounds good for "Hero". I seem to remember it being used by a moderately important female NPC, who wasn't Lyris, Gabriele, Ayrenn or any of the Stros M'Kai folks.

      Thanks!

      But what is S'wit if N'wah is moron? Do Dunmer have 2 insults that mean roughly the same? :P
