Favorite ESO dialogue and quotes

Malyore

I saw someone making references to dungeon dialogue, and others started joining in. I didn't realize other people liked referencing the game, especially since most folks seem to blast through dungeons and dialogue. Now I just wanna talk about people's favorite lines to say.

While I adore the ending dialogue to the clockwork city, I will say some of my favorites to think about is in the blessed crucible dungeon instead. Mainly the lady before the troll king. I can't remember her name, but I love the way she talks.

From the ashlands of Morrowind! T h e s e
c r e a t u r e s laid waste to an entire village before ~I~ captured them!

I also love the final boss. Without having really paid much attention to the story for that dungeon, it just is so cheesey to be playing through a dungeon called The Blessed Crucible just to be approached at the end with

I AM the Bles-sed Crucible. YOU are nothing.

I often refer to that one in real life with random objects. The other day I drove by a clocktower and said to myself "I am the clock tow-rah~"

Eisengreifer

"What delightful folly is this?"
Surely one of my fav lines from dungeons, thank you RiIlis

Also, the disappointed "Nooo!" from Xeemhok the Trophy-Taker when you kill him in IA.

And, of course, beloved Cadwell:
"You're as [...] bruised as a peach in a sack of rocks! Bit of the old derring-do, was it?"

Soarora

Sharp’s “Skill Issue”. I do quote dungeons though just because I’ve done them so many times it’s engrained in my head whenever something similar gets said.

"Half sister" - Abnur Tharn
(I always had to grin when he stubbornly corrected that)

Pixiepumpkin

"You think me brutish? How do you imagine I view you?"

--Molag Bal

sans-culottes

One that’s always stayed with me is Sotha Sil’s quiet piece of foreshadowing: “Almalexia does what she does because she cannot do otherwise. It will not end well. But then, even the best endings rarely bring joy.” There’s something deeply resigned in it, like he’s already lived through the aftermath and mourned it in advance.

Mesite

I always join with the end of Molag Bal's saying 'The skins of those you love....'

It reminds me that Molag Bal is really evil and not just someone we are trying to defeat.

However, it also sometimes makes me imagine the (awesome) actor who voices him, Malcolm McDowell from Star Trek, the Mentalist, and other programmes. That sometimes distracts me a bit. I saw the clip of him recording the lines recently.

"Mages are envied their power, and reviled for using it." - Shalidor

"No matter where the wind blows, leaves from the same tree always find each other again." - Eveli Sharp-Arrow

"Well, kiss a troll and call me Pumpkin!" - Skordo the Knife

That was such a fun prologue quest honestly, I loved the banter between characters and the running joke. A rare moment in ESO for me of genuine enjoyment in following along the story. I'd smile or laugh anytime Tharn corrected them.

"You'll leave nothing but a crater and a stain."
"You want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a god? Here I am."

"I'll blacken the sky with your smoldering corpses."

Let's face it, the Sunspire bosses have the best trash talk in the game.

Maggusemm

and your favorite quote about M'aiq the liar?

El_Borracho

Ash Titan in COA2 says something like, "Wake the valkyn, we have visitors." Always liked that, along with everything Sharp says.

alpha_synuclein

"This place reeks of wet dog and a fungal infection".

Followed by "of course they have a troll..." xd

With Lylanar and Turlassil as close seconds

"One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead kings got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their bows … and stabbed themselves!"

Cadwell's memento - it's stuck in my head since 2024 anniversary, grinding Geysers in Summerset for the style page while people kept spamming it.

emilyhyoyeon

All of Domihaus from Falkreath Hold's lines and all of Zaan from Scalecaller Peak's lines are my absolute favorite. I love their VA performances. They're epic and immersive.

FWIW I play the German translation so the VAs are different from the English. But from what I've seen the English ones are good as well; in fact, both English and German Zaan are really similar IMO with the VAs' deliveries.

I also love Orryn the whatever's line in Fang Lair when he does the something like ''the clanging and banging and ranging of old bones is music to my ears'' line.

WhiteCoatSyndrome

Rakkat has one of the most memorable lines IMO: “You will listen, mortals... even if it means peeling the ears from your scalps and shouting Namiira's will into whatever's left of your broken skulls!"

Cazador

I'm a fan of xalvakka's "I am but a herald! A horde awaits behind me!"

My boredom sack is engorged

Maelstrom Arena:

"It looks like ... yes, the challenger is trying again!"

I know it's cliche' to mention Raz, but...

"This one has no regrets."

“She’ll kill you allllllllllllllll.”


And she does.

Skill issue - Sharp as Night

Hehe heavy sacks - Tanlorin

Vanus Galerian is a G.O.A.T for these

Give you the—? What, do you think I have a boat in my pocket? That it folds up and fits in your backpack? Ridiculous!

Are you purposefully looking for trouble or are you as blind as a cave bat?"

Oh, you saw that exchange, did you? Why does every extraplanar creature I meet want to talk to me? Am I wearing a welcome sign around my neck? Do I look like I carry Dremora snacks in my pockets?
Where is the respect for my rank and my station?

Elvenheart

One of my favorite lines will always be this one:

Rilis: "Ha ha ha! What are you lot doing? Oh, I do so love to see magic. Is that what this is?”

Sometimes I do the Banish Cells I just to hear that line!

smallhammer

Guybert, in Southern Elweyr. He is fun, and well acted.

And he can NEVER stop talking about daedra in almost every sentence.

I also love Rilis and think of his departure a lot. "Oh my! It looks like you've won! Old Rilis' days of freedom are over it seems!" He's a classic. Seen a few people mention him here.

Npc in the tavern in Davon's Watch: "You throw it up, you lick it up!"

ellmarie

Undaunted in Davon's Watch - Kailstig the Axe - "Look, I got clean socks!"

Za'ji - wearing the new Dragonguard uniform - "But it looks so good on you!"
anything Za'ji says

anything Sharp says

READLER

"Ah. People. Great." - Sharp-as-Night

whitecrow

All of Heem-ja's dialogue in Ruins of Mazzatun, particularly the running joke about him intending to participate in the battle but always arriving too late.

Oblivion_Protocol

“What is this power? It makes me want to curl up and die.”

“Don’t look at me like that Martus, DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! Damn you…”

I don’t know why, but the acting on both of those lines from Lucilla in The Dread Cellar just sends me every time.
