Most memorable NPCs from Oblivion

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:02 pm

What's yours, or have there been any instances of AI that might not be scripted, but still made you laugh? One that I remember is the NPC you buy the Deepscorn Hollow housing items from. He's supposedly a secret salesman that can hook you up with what you need. I went to him and bought the items I needed, then when I left the conversation he said "tell your friends about me". Yeeeeaaaaaaaa. Oh, and this woman:

Mazoga.
She's classic.
I would go out of my way to protect her.
Very, very much out of my way.
I thought it was awesome we became 'knight errants'.
That's a special kinda knight, right?
:wink:

It is just Ra'qanar, the poor porter. Do you wish to beat me? Punish me? Of course, Ra'qanar deserves your scorn... but pity this one, please.

Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak. His malapropisms are hilarious! :laugh:

Falanu Hlaalu. She brings a smile to my lips every time I see her. Then I cover myself in baby powder and lay really, really still... :hubbahubba:

Theres an NPC in I believe Cheydinhal that sings about cliff racers. First time I walked past him, I stood there and listened almost hyperventialting from laughter. Apart from that one, the person who had Umbra. Interesting talking to a person who has almost absolutely no sense of self anymore

Glathir.....I really relished his death,the paranoid little freak! I waited in the shadows behind the chapel and caught him quite unexpectedly with a fine steel arrow shot from the only Black Bow I kept in my inventory. An extremely satisfying kill...... :foodndrink:

That would be Falanu Hlaalu. Another funny thing is that some NPCs refer to her as 'him'. They do the same for City-Swimmer (she even calls herself 'him').

A malapropism is the use of a wrong (but similar sounding) word, often to humorous results. Like this: "Bears have been known to herniate through the winter months." or "My doctor diagonaled me with the flu."

My favorite malapropism is still from a local t.v. commercial by a now defunct company: "Take my brother, the mathmagician. He can tell you all about Einstein's fear of relatives, but he cannot resuscitate a single word of the Highland Appliance money back guarantee."

Hmm, to me, memorable is slightly different that favorite. So. . . I'll say Emperor Uriel Septim VII and Savlian Matius.

That. Is. AWESOME! :rofl: I would love to have seen that commercial (and normally, I'm like "Aaarrgh! A commercial! Kill it! Kill it with fire!!").

Cutter, the psychotic bosmer smith of crucible.

Yngvar doom sayer - topless Nord who wanders the shivering isles.. even more interesting cos he's the author of 'the predecessors' one of the in game books which talks about apocalypse.

Hirtel, the Altmer who runs screaming out of the refugee camp. "Come on! Run while there's still time! The Guard still holds the road, but it's only a matter of time before they're overwhelmed!" I've only done the main quest once, but he has managed to stick in my mind for all these six years.
