"Would it kill them to run away? No, actually it wouldn't. Maybe they should try that."

Not sure if I phrased that (or my last one) exactly.

“The day is ours!”

anything mike the liar says. Those who don't know talking about M'iaq the liar. Just that appearntly Bethesda and ZoS have been calling him Mike since Morrowind when he first appeared instead what I always though it was "My-Eek"

That's because M'aiq pronounces his own name as "My-eek," but that could be attributed to his accent. I pronounce it that way too, just because that's how he says it, but it makes sense that it would be "Mike" as well.

nah. he is too exotic to be just mike.

I hear it more as if in Japanese, "Ma-eek"

"What do dragons want with gold anyway? They don't need to buy anything."

Astute observation, Bastian.

I hardly ever come across M'aiq. I did yesterday, and I just had to giggle.

And from the public dungeon "Hall of the Dead" in Eastmarch

"they always blame the priest"

Most of the following lines could be the one-liner in the context of the others... (I hope we get to see where is idea goes in a future DLC):

"I've got all sorts of ideas for a new book on ovamancy! Eggs with smaller eggs inside! Brilliant, right?

That one breton guy in Belkarth "You want to cry me a river? Go ahead. Maybe you can float out of Craglorn."

How I feel when I’m at work 😭

I love the Khajiit merchants in Senchal, especially these guys:

Sanuzh, the "enchanter," who really isn't:


"Our vast rune inventory includes rare selections such as this, uh, shiny strange rune … and, uh, glowing bobbly thing. Or even our bestselling squiggly swirl block!
Ziss, this one needs a new job."

"Listen, just see what we have. This one really can't pronounce any of the things we are selling. Sanuzh wants only to pay off a debt."

With the following lines of dialogue he pulls out a scroll and begins reading the prewritten store dialogue:

"Hello, fair adventurer! Please partake in our most illustorus … illustery … illustrious, yes that sounds right, illustrious store … ziss, why are there so many big words in this note?
Ummm, please buy something."

"Are you feeling disenchanted with your life? If so, this one has good news for you. Our products can enhance anything. Weapons. Armors. Lovers. You name it."

Mojaluz, the alchemist:


"Mojaluz tests all the potions he sells personally! In fact, Mojaluz just drank a potent one that heals Dragon burns. Oh no. Why do you have five eyes?"
"Mojaluz used to be a chef, but realized no money can be made baking treats. Unless those treats have special ingredients."
"All sales are final! Mojaluz doesn't care if you threw up the potion you drank or if your skin turns green. No refunds!"
"Listen, Mojaluz understands that better herbalists might work within Senchal, but at least this one's goods are legal. The Shields buy them often!"

And, lastly this gem from the banker, Murimdak, in the Outlaws Refuge:


"People told Murimdak he was crazy to open a bank in a refuge for outlaws. But do you know what's really crazy? Leaving your workplace to relieve yourself. Down here? Ha! The world is Murimdak's chamber pot!"

yeah the merchants in the chapters almost always have great dialogue, as if the writers feel like this is their chance to take risks and have the special kind of fun that comes with it
