Who is the best written character in ESO?

So many to choose from and can't choose just one but I'll add to the conversation with Lady Clarisse Laurent and her lump of a manservant Stibbon come to mind, hope we'll be seeing them again in Skyrim.

There is no way that Lady Clarisse will skip her adventurers in Skyrim, especially sending her trustworthy Stibbons to potentially be dismembered by Draugr in some crypt while retrieving some rusted relic that could look good on her bookshelf.

The best written is also the best writer: Narsis Dren.

I always liked Aranias in Greenshade (Wilderking quest). I believe she is voiced by the same actor that does Valaste (Mages Guild main character). The depth of the story plus the numerous range of emotions make this a winner for me.

I was not able to find out who did the voice for this character. Anybody know for sure?

(And why is it Stuga? )

Off the top of my head... Gotta be my cool cat Razum Dar.

Best written? For me that would be Abnur Tharn. He is one of the few ESO characters who comes across like, well, having a real personality.
This doesn't mean that I didn't like other ESO characters, but most are more like ... canvases for projection, and many are one-trick ponies.

Well that Inspector Vale certainly keeps busy no? Very popular even among Khajiit. Alas we do not know the name of the author or authors ...

They cannot hide forever though. This one is sure they will carelessly lose their cover at some point.

This one has five apprentices waiting outside the publishers office. This one has ruled out the orc bringing in coffee and the nord covered in ink stains and powdered sugar. Every one else is a suspect …

Wait. This is a mystery novel in itself no?

We all hope Zeni give us some more Sotha Sil content, someday.

I liked Drake of Blades.

Darien Gautier.

I'm EP through n' through and he's honestly, the only character I "care" about. I better have the opportunity to save him from the deceiver because she and I have some unfinished business.

Is it OK to include hirelings in the list?

I love Valinka Stoneheaver, I think using a point in this hireling was totally worth it just to read her correspondence once a day.

Who do you love? Valinka, that's who!

I would like to thank who wrote her lines

Cadwell is my favorite character, but I grew up watching a lot of Monty Python, so I may be a little biased.

King Kurog and Wrothgar were by far the best story writing in ESO though.

Of course!

Maybe one of the forum mods or a comminity manager could pass that on

Abnur, Cadwell, Razum-dar, are probably the top three but there are so many well written npcs. As annoying as she is, Lady Clarisse Laurent and Stibbons do have some well written and funny quests. And then there's Zhasim from Wrothgar's quest A Khajiit's Tail. I've always done this quest with all my characters because it's so well done.

Probably Abnar Tharn goes from selfish pompous know it all with a superiority complex someone that justifies his actions to restore the Empire to a decent person who genuinely cares for the people around him and ultimately sacrifices himself to protect those people and all of Tamriel I don't see main story Planemeld Tharn sacrificing himself for anyone especially not to save Elsweyr he has a great story arc and redemption if Tharn isn't mentioned or seen again we can assume he died and is death was pretty epic so I think everything worked out.

Abnur Tharn - best written and best acted.
I like Quen from Thieves Guild for some reason.
And queen Ayrenn - my favourite leader (king Generic is boring and Jorunn is the only person in whole game I wanted to kill from the beginning).

Raz

he was for most of AD back in the day the NPC we all had feels for.

we've been on so many journeys with him over 5 years and we even got to meet his family and go to his room.

Tinolyn

Walks-Softly. Always cracks me up.

Abnur Tharn is a very close second place. And Cadwell had to have been heavily influenced by John Cleese; great stuff.

Elam Drals, in the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary. Just such well written, droll, dialogue.

I opened this thread just to post Elam Drals. He is fantastic.

The voice acting and writing are SO good. I don't need 5 DB points or a rogue potion but I do these dailies over and over just for Elam Drals' responses. His comment on the Fighter's Guild is hysterical.

The one I don't get is all the love of Razum-Dar. I personally think the thick Russian accent is too campy and over-done and the writing is bland. And I grew tired of "this one..." after about the 5th time. I couldn't get out of Elsweyr fast enough.

Drake of Blades.
Sotha Sil
Malacath, even though I dislike him was written very well “what you want me to jiggle the handle?”
The Thieves Guild characters.
