    "These warriors (combatants) are surprisingly fierce" Arena master from the Blessed Crucible. When hearing that I'm always getting fired up and ready to slay some more...

    "This knight (Sir Cadwell) is starting to grow on me, should I be worried?" Lyris Titanborn


    Ps Nice "necro"ing the "nerco"ed thread...

    Edit to make bold...

    Most of the things Abnur Tharn says, he's the only npc that seems to have any sense

    "You ignaminus corpse herder, you're delusions of godhood are laughable." I died during the battle the first time I heard this because I was laughing too hard after hearing it. The line was delivered perfectly. A lot of the insults Abnur throws out there are really funny.

    Like the OP, I like creating new characters, so I've run through the Wailing Prison a few times. I always laugh when Lyris says something like, "Tharn, you're the ugliest princess I've ever saved from a tower" and he replies with something like, "I can see your lack of education and repeated blows to the head haven't dulled your wit."

    All of Rilis' dialogue is pretty great, all thanks to a great bit of voice acting.

    I don't think they say it anymore for some reason, but that one guards said at one point that was something like, "want to loose ten pounds of ugly fat? I would be happy to chop your head off" was pretty good.

    On my thief in Daggerfall, a guard tried to catch me and said:

    "I was hoping for a different kind of contact."

    Thought that was pretty funny.

    It was in some delve or public dungeon. Perhaps it's relatively new.

He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Yeah, the guards have some interesting lines. I've actually chosen the flee option specifically because of what they say when they catch me.
