Are the devs having a laugh ? I mean how many time do you have to rescue 1 man ? You would have thought lady Laurent would have sussed that he's a total plank and incapable of looking after himself let alone her ! I guess he really must do a great job in the launders or something Surely I m not the only one who wants an option to put him out of his misery and introduce him to the blade of woe . Tho that I fear is too quick of a death
Anyone else have reoccurring npc you rather didn't

    Given who he works for, I pity him and would like an option to get him away from her.

    I'm not a massive fan of Stibbons and Lady Laurent because I just don't laugh at that kind of joke.

    Not sure of other repeating characters I didn't like though.

    I like Stibbons and Lady Laurent.

    Stibbons Coldharbor belt reward description: "To Stibbons from Lady Laurent for years of adequate service."

    Stuga!!!!!!

    I'd actually take the option of killing these people and locking alts out of an entire DLC questline if that's what it took.

    But yeah Stibbons is pretty weak, definitely one to send to the void. Although for such incompetence he should be subjected to either Uncle Sheo or the Bent Dance, which ever lasts longer / more painful.

    I'd much rather have Kireth and Raynor come back for yet another "Kireth fell into a hole and Raynor is too much of a weenie to rescue her" episode. At least they're goofy without using humiliation as an attempt at comedy. I could do without another Stibbons/Lady Laurent quest for the next few zones.

    Actually I like reoccurring NPCs as leitmotifs / guiding themes in this game. Not all make me laugh though, but it's not unpleaseant to meet them.

    Rigurt the Brash: Actually a funny NPC in my experience. Actually Rigurt is the reason why I have no Nord char.

    Stibbons/Lady Laurent: Actually I dislike Lady Laurent (I guess we all do) and the personality of Stibbons i find amusing. Not all quest lines with those are of same quality level though. Especially the Morrowind one felt put on or just added for the sake of a continuation.

    Razum-Dar and Naryu Virian: While I am neutral to Razum-Dar (ok, he is in the game, that's all for me), I actually damned like Naryu.

    I rather hate Stibbons and Lady Laurent. He's obedient to a fault and she's a slave master. Her wanton disregard for Stibbons' safety or well-being is truly appalling.

    We need more Razum-Bae in the world. Maybe if the next chapter is in Elsweyr or Summerset...

    Stibbons doesn't need rescuing - he's actually trying to run away and we keep bungling it and bringing him back to that witch.

    I personally find Stibbons and Lady Laurent highly amusing. I hope they live happily ever after for many years and DLCs to come.

    Perhaps it is because they remind me of Lady Audrey fforbes-Hamilton (Penelope Keith) and Brabinger (the late John Rudling) as her loyal and long-suffering butler, from the popular sit-com "To the Manor Born". :)

    Lady Laraunt is pretty high on my *** list. Darien isn't terribly great but I was at least interested in his character development. Just wish there was more of it.

    I love and adore Stibbons and Lady Laurent. I always get a little excited when I meet them. But there are recurring characters I can't stand. We meet Sheogorath too often, Naryu can fall down a well and never climb out again and Bumnog, while his second appearance is more like a cameo, needs to get eaten by harpies. Seriously hate that guy. So many times I just wanted to trap the poor harpies and he kept punching them to death.

    I'm sure there are more that I like but none comes to mind right now.

    I kept each piece of clothing you get from Stibbons, hoping to have a Stibbon's costume when I had everything, but no such luck. I collected the pieces from many characters doing the story line, and don't look Stibbony at all. Maybe they'll make a Stibbons costume for the Crown Store, complete with Vizzini haircut...

    The Vvardenfell edition of Stibbons and Lady Laurent's adventure was pretty lame and felt sort of tacked on because the devs didn't know what else to do in that area. However I did enjoy their past adventures. Maybe Telenger the Artificer would have worked better there, (or anyone else).

    I believe that the Lady Laurent/Stibbons dynamic is a refelction of Sheogorath/Haskill...

    Also Lady Laurent is in love with Stibbons but can't admit it (possibly doesn't even realise it) because he is of a lower social standing.

    Bear those ideas in mind when doing their sidequests and enjoy them from a different perspective :)

    There is no need for that. Stibbons has a crush on his master, loves to serve her and actually believes Laurent couldn't handle anything without his help. If you ever get to read one of her to-do-lists you might agree with him. She always moans while other people do her job.

    i like both pairs.

    was hoping kireth and reaynor would turn up in the morrowind chapter, esp given they're dark elves.
