My thoery is that it's not so much Fargoth that people find annoying, as Bosmer in general, it's just that Fargoth is the first Bosmer your likely to encounter in the game, indeed, typically the first person you see after exiting the office, so he tends to be the one who stands out most, seeing as pretty much the first thing you'll here after passing through the door that leads to your freedom is that horrible squeaky male Bosmer voice. Aside from that, hating Fargoth has also attained a bit of a memetic status, I think, so even people who have no reason to hate him still say he is annoying because it's the "politically correct" thing to do.

Personally, I don't consider him worse than any other Bosmer, it's just that Bosmer as a whole are rather hard for me to take seriously thanks to some rather unfortunate design decisions Bethesda has made with them.

Also, with his disposition towards you likely rising, you'll be hearing, "I have a feeling that you and I are about to become... very close.

" You'll not hear this from many Bosmer, especially in the start of the game. It creeped people out and made them go wtf.

But yeah, it's more a "must" to hate him than anything else. Or was. It hasn't been like that anymore in my short time here in the forums.

This is only sort of related but...

I think there was a quest in the underground mod where you meet this Mr. Evil Dark Lord who asks you to kill Fargoth and fetch his balls. Once you bring them to him, he devours them before your eyes.

I've never found him annoying either. I think most of the insecure adolescents who reviled characters like Fargoth and Crassius Curio have either moved on to other games or have grown up.

Since my first character was a female Bosmer it felt rather appropriate when I first heard him say that. ^_^

Fargoth actuallys helps to boost up Arille's disposition, so I don't see any reason in hating him. Butthe quest where you saw him sneaking towards his muck pool and out of it is pretty funny also.

The Bosmer voice actor sounded like Pauly Shore.

I actually liked Fargoth, he was just a friendly guy who wants his ring back :shrug:

How weird...I was thinking about this the other day.

Just in case it's a spoiler...

Spoiler

I did the "Fargoth's Hiding Place" quest and felt really guilty afterwards. I was hoping there might be an opportunity to return the stuff afterwards but there wasn't

I like Fargoth because of the discount he gives you at arriles

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:21 pm

Fargoth is good poor guy. I always help him. Even when playing a selfish character.

I've never found Fargoth annoying, just Bosmer's in general. The female Bosmer's with their gratingly high pitched voices are what irritate me the most - Oblivion just reinforces this.

I have a feeling that you and I... are about to become veeeery close.

Hating Fargoth is the Politically correct thing to do. Love it!

I'm pretty sure one of the devs has said that Bosmer are almost an 'inside joke'

Crassius did creep me out, but he was hilarious!
