The ESO Bankers!!!

anothername

If those bankers tell me their complete biographys I can nod & grin friendly the first time I talk to them, but every time after that a simple "Welcome" should be enough.

This one really irks me. Especially when 5 times every 10 seconds, I hear one of those lines. My GF really hates it too. I wish I could mute specific NPC's.

I'm in the cities doing inventory management so often, I've memorized the idle chatter in every faction.

"Do you know the old saying 'Neither a borrower, nor a lender be'? Rubbish. If there were no borrowers and lenders, no one would ever be able to buy or sell anything! But pardon me... welcome to the bank of Daggerfall."

"Did you hear? Some stranger saved King Cassimir's life!"
"Really? Any idea where the stranger came from? I'd like to buy that hero an ale!"

"Auriel knows I'm here to serve. What can I help you with?"

"Five-fold venerations, my friend! You'd like to make a deposit, yes?"

"You are here to make a deposit, yes?"

"Customers aren't allowed back here!"

"Please stay on the customer's side of the counter."

"If you insist on breaking the rules, I'll have to call the guards!"

"I can assure with every confidence our vaults will never be breached. And I should know, as a reformed robber of banks."

"Take it from me: Your goods are safe here. Especially safe from me; they don't let me handle anything! I have to pass it all to a trusted intermediary."

"Ugh, Mauloch's Jawbone! Needled myself again. You look nimble though. Need anything?"

"Your goods will be safe here. I swear on my mother's egg-tooth."

"No one keeps their forge as hot as Avani. You'd have to travel to the heart of Ash Mountain to find a fire this strong. You're welcome to work... if you think you can handle it."

The voices... I can still hear them all...

Wow.

ESO: Inventory Management Simulator Simulator Deluxe Edition, eh? This post makes the point perfectly.

RunAway

Indeed. I'm being honest when I say, about 40-50% of my game time is managing my inventory. Switching characters, arranging items...

Brakkar

I wouldn't mind the annoying Davon's watch banker's threats if he actually called the guards, who in turn would attempt to clear the bank of all unwanted customers :-)

Squishy

The voices keeps me company... I'm more worried when it gets quiet... I Wonder what the voices are up to. *rocks backs and forth*

All work and rune gathering and no play makes squishy a dull girl...All work and rune gathering and no play makes squishy a dull girl...All work and rune gathering and no play makes squishy a dull girl... REDRUM...REDRUM...

So yes, I agree, the repeating single dialogues needs to be toned down a bit, just a small bit, like... oh... Once every 6 hours maybe?

michaelpatrickjonesnub18_ESO

It is annoying, because they have their dialogue on a 30 second loop or some crazy thing like that. Who makes these decisions, my god.

Tack on some time so the NPC's don't recite their lines so often!

Sakiri

The guy in Davons Watch goes off when someone steps between, behind or on top of the counter.

Keiffo

The massive tree bank in Graahtwood I think it is, that one is actually amusing the first 70 times.

Something along the lines of "Your goods are safe here, have you seen the trolls? We have trolls guarding our vaults. Nowhere else can you get the troll security guarantee. NOWHERE.

WilliamTee

Oddly... the bit that annoys me the most is the way the Daggerfall one finishes.

Just something about the way she says 'welcome to the bank of Daggerfall'.

The tone or something. Like fingernails on a blackboard.

ShinChuck

And it's NOR, lady, not "or". "Or" is a positive. You're saying something like, "Not a borrow, but possibly a lender be". It's not proper grammar, and it's not an accurate quote, either, as it was "nor" in the Shakespeare quote it comes from. It's dumb on two fronts!

They are going to implement NPC killing with the justice system. So then you can maybe kill the bankers. But then you shouldn't get in trouble for killing them a guard comes along and congratulates you as he can't stand the bankers either.

I can 100 percent guarantee you will not be able to kill the bankers, quest givers, or vendors. If you could, there would be that one griefer that ALWAYS kills them and people will never be able to bank, shop, or get quests.

But we'd have silence... and peace

I say Stonefall's bank and Eastmarch has some of the most annoying bankers. Stonefall because of the annoying guy telling you to stand on the other side of the counter or he will call the guards (empty threats) and the khajiit in Eastmarch that boast that no one would steal from her. They need to shut up or be toned down

YES! DEATH TO THE DAGGERFALL BANKER!!!!!! /doom

Ageless

Oh, thank your sanity for this thread. Or mine.
I didn't know how quickly to get away from Daggerfall just because of that "conversation" between Orlugash gra-Bulz and Esteve Brousseau, who owes me an Ale brewery by the amount of Ales he likes to buy me. Go into the Daggerfall smith and be prepared for the onslaught you know is coming.

No, then it's better in Wayrest... but is it? No. Here there is a sorcerer outside the city walls who you can hear in the bank, at the mages guild and in the orcanium (or whatever it's called) and in all the streets around those buildings. He'll tell you of his pierced veil over and above the speech of NPCs and whenever you really don't want to hear him. For you who want to go help him, he's outside the city walls, behind the bank, towards the bridge. Mind the two assassin beetles scurrying around there, and perhaps the one or two wisps.

And we won't even start about the "hear ye, hear ye"... I think Sky Radio isn't so bad, all of a sudden. At least they don't play the same song every 20 seconds!

At least in Skyrim the NPCs had multiple lines. And that there are NPCs with multiple lines, you can see (or hear) from the guards, as these will tell you something different every time you pass them.

This is one that I mute as well. Amussa in Davon's Watch doesn't annoy me (she has a nice voice, and she's kinda funny even after innumerable times hearing her), the bankers in Vulkel Guard, Skywatch and Mournhold don't annoy me (their lines are short), but that .... woman... in Daggerfall has the longest, most irritating greeting, and a voice which grates on my nerves telling it. But she's the banker (and the only banker in the building) so even if I want to, I can't kill her (therefore mute, which I consider extreme, since the sound design and voice acting is otherwise so wonderful to listen to).

I swear, if NPC killing is implemented, this guy is the first to go. The lady he's talking to might or might not survive, but he is dead. First of all, he says this over and over, outside the blacksmithing station in Daggerfall. And that's all he says. Second of all, even if I come out there, he never buys me the damn ale! If he did, I might not kill him... much.

This is more funny than annoying, because if you've been in the Davon's Watch bank, you'll know that it is 1) so small, 2) so understaffed (one banker only), and 3) so crowded with players that you can't even walk in the door without looking at the back of somebody's teeth that if you want to treat with the banker in a relatively normal manner you have to cross the counter. I find the assistant's completely useless warnings as hysterical as he sounds making them.

I don't even talk to this guy. I sell/buy implements from almost anybody else to avoid hearing this stupid story.

Unfortunately, I can't avoid the other annoying merchant in Davon's Watch--- Davon the Mystic from Davon's Mystic Emporium ("am I going too fast for you?") who seems to have missed the list. Basically I just shop from him and it goes fast enough that I'm finished just as he hits the end (so essentially he's not going fast enough :-) ), and because I'm buying multiple soul gems (which demands a lot of attention with those tiny plus and minus signs) I don't really have to listen to him. But I dread shopping with him.

Blackwolfe5

I don't mind the davons watch bankers that much, even if both their voices are annoying. What I do find annoying is that bloody door that keeps opening and closing over and over and over and over again.

Not that it bothers me much since I use Dhalmora in Bal Foyen for all my crafting/banking needs. All the crafting a person needs, in one big room! Or well, gotta go down to the beach for the cooking and there is no stable, but that's not as important.

My keyboard mute button has lost its paint as a result of this.

"See those trolls? We have trolls guarding our vaults. Nowhere else has the troll security guarantee. NOWHERE."

But seriously, I love this guy. And Satuhaz, who says their bank is better because the trolls are also VAMPIRES.
