What's your least favorite dialogue line in the game?

AlienatedGoat · May 2018

I'll start:

"You wanna cry me a river, go ahead. Maybe you can float out of Craglorn."

To be completely honest, I hate this entire exchange. With a burning, fiery loathing. Back before you could turn in max level writs elsewhere, we were stuck in Belkarth, and I'd have to hear this exact conversation multiple times a day. I would yell "shut up" in real life out of frustration every time I heard it. I owe a debt of gratitude to ZOS for rescuing me from that torture.

Even now...it still haunts my dreams. My nightmares.

Whats your least favorite line of dialogue in the game?

Any long, unskipable dialogue in the middle of a dungeon. Not so much that I don't like the content, it's just a pain to have to wait
around for a few minutes.

"Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

Oh, yep. That's a major annoyance. If I have to hear the charade at the end of Banished Cells one more time, I'm going to go insane (well more so than usual).

Lol, the stalkers in this game are the worst.

Streega · May 2018

Every time you enter Stormhold:

Stalfgrif: "They say the Hist weeps with happiness when an Argonian hatches. How can a tree weep?"
Skeeheieeus: "What nonsense. Everyone knows the Hist isn't a tree!"
Stalfgrif: "Oh. Maybe it's a giant Argonian dung pile! Now who's the silly one?"

That dialogue is so painfully stupid I have to go and meet Stuga to hear something smart.

Red diamond in certain cities.

You been quicker than me

That NPC is annoying as hell

NBrookus · May 2018

That quest giver in Riften "***! I've been sent to speak with you!"

Favorite: "The skins of those you love shall fly as my banners."

adriant1978 · May 2018

A lot of Seryn's dialogue in Vvardenfell. She has this odd, stilted way of speaking and it feels like names are being constantly and unnaturally dropped as a way of reminding the player who these people and things are.

"My brother, Chodala"

"The staff, Sunna'rah"

Puts me in mind of what what Harrison Ford supposedly said of George Lucas' script for Star Wars: "You can write this ****, but you sure as hell can't say it."

Xuhora · May 2018

I hate the line "keep your tails low" from Heem-Jas in Mazzatun....
First off, Heem-Jas is a very unlovely character...
Second: The guys i usually do Mazzatun with are the kind of People, chuckling at everything that could slightly be a Synonym for, well you know what i mean...

Heem-Jas: "keep your tails low"
Team: "heheheheeeee keep your tails low, got it?"
me: sigh....

MarleyRain · May 2018

Comrade the guild has need of you!!

Beardimus · May 2018

Anything argonian

Lysette · May 2018

"Help! Help! I need help"

... over and over and over and over again - from an NPC, which wants to tear me into a trap calling for help this way. Really annoying, because it is non-stop, no pause inbetween and can be heard even from further away. Bad enough I got into this trap the first time, but to hear it again and again and again at the location over and over and over again can drive me nuts.

Gythral · May 2018

Any thing the random NPC repeats incessantly while you are the victim of being in hearing range:
currently 'Hold mighty warrior!' to my wimp Vamp. Apprentice Sorc.

Really needs a 'I heard you' option to silence these repetitive options (but I guess that deceases the ROI on Voice acting), which after 1 play of any monologue turns it off

but what really gets me is the number of quest giving NPC that can out run a galloping horse for such huge ranges

Yuls · May 2018

"No one keeps their forge as hot as an Avani."
If I could turn Merail Arvani into a smoldering heap of ashes, I would.

And then that awful khajiit sentencing poor Finedrin over and over again.

...and then every other khajiit (sorry, I just can't stand their voices...)

Feanor · May 2018

„Hold there, sera!“

adriant1978 · May 2018

The Prophet's overly shouty lines ever since the Wailing Prison was remastered in 1.6

maltinkilic · May 2018

The guard's better give me a cut from your bounty. After you've been put me all through.

Every Argonian in every sacrament after detecting you.

feyii · May 2018

There are definately a lot of annoying lines, but my least favourite - it is not annoying, but I don't like it - is "I want the book", as option for the player at the end of the Mages Guild questline.

themaddaedra · May 2018

"... and what am i supposed to do with a wagon full of goods and no one to buy them, ha?"

Everytime i hear this woman going hard on that poor Khajit i get triggered. Thus i avoid certain areas close to Belkarth wayshrine.

Lysette · May 2018

And pretty much any commentary of shipping masters near the delivery location for crafting writs.

What did you expect between a Nord and an Argonian?
A discussion of the nature of the Mundus?

I erect the spine of agreement.

"Too many Argonians about these days" - Dunmer Guards

This is made better when a Flag guard says it whilst stood next to Argonian Pact soldiers.

Edit: In my sleepy stupor posting I read this as "favourite line"

Least favourite would be any of the repeated lines in Craglorn.

adriant1978 · May 2018

"Do you know the old saying? Neither a borrower or a lender be? Rubbish! Without borrowers and lenders, how would we ever be able to buy or sell anything? But pardon me. Welcome to the bank of Daggerfall."

Showing my age here.

Marabornwingrion · May 2018

"Did you get it? Did your invitation arrive!?" in Deshaan.

Goshua · May 2018

Anything Shalidor says, stupid ol git.. oh and nearly forgot, all the dialogue for the prophet and companions (except Abnur Tharn he makes me chuckle).

RubyWarfare · May 2018

Any song sung by the Breton bard in his whiny nasal tone, but this song is the top of my hate list:

From dreaaad Daaaedra saaaaaaave us
From Daedra keep us saaaafe
Forsake the ones that maaaaaaaaade us
To fight a wrongful fate

It is especially terrible when this bard's voice spawns into other people's twilights and there is a cacophony of nasal whining everywhere. Ugh.

The runners up are the dunmer who yells "HOLD! Hold there sera!" Stuga's "DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU!" the "cry me a river" jerk the OP mentioned, and the whiny whine dog in Daggerfall who whines at you if you ignore his quest.

Ilithyania · May 2018

Did you get it? Did your invitation arrive?

Rub it in, why don't you? If you must know, Shad Astula has rejected me. Again.

RANKK7 · May 2018

Rolis Hlaalu "None of us is getting any younger, you know."

No, really? Why the hell are you telling me this ?
It's not like I'm old but it's damn sure I feel like I'm wasting my time with the game every time I hear that and I'm tempted to log out. Bad line to hear so often.
