Parthy shall be added to the list.

Mai'iq has been voted 7 people's fave.

That is 7 people who failed at reading the thread topic/question - "Who is your favorite SKYRIM character?". Those are seven people who cant read, and/or are basing their answer on a character who appeared in earlier ES games and NOT this one other than to just stand in one place and DO NOTHING, which pretty much means they fail at answering the question. Or, they just think that a guy who they randomly encounter in the game who says nothing, does nothing, and is basically like a tree is the most awesome in all of this huge game.

Please enlighten me, what did Mai'iq do in Oblivion that is different to what he does now apart from run faster?

Dont know, I hated both Oblivion and Morrowind. Im trying to understand what he does in SKYRIM that makes 7 people here vote for him as their favorite SKYRIM character. Maybe you can enlighten me on that. After all, you thought highly enough of him to include him as a choice in your "favorite Skyrim character" poll.

So then how can you say that people voted for him due to his actions in previous games without even knowing what he did in previous games????

Dude, he tells you random facts and then tires of you after 2-3 facts. He is extremely cuddly and....he's a cat called Mai'iq. WTF can't you love bout dat KEWL KAT?

He's the developers making fun of everyone and their silly little nitpicky complaints. I think he's hilarious.

He breaks the fourth wall and cracks jokes at the complaints and wishlists TES fans berate Beth about.

Mai'q all the way. He so totally rocks.

Well, I'm number eight. I voted for him became I like his wit. I consider him a Skyrim character because he is in well.....Skyrim. You know? A character in Skyrim? Skyrim character?

Ulfric Stormcloak. Love him, or hate him (I love him ) no other character is talked about more. He has the best voice actor and is a complete badass. Even when he was about to die, he stayed defiant and awesome til the end. Which is why I have done one and only one imp playthrough ever. Not trying to make a CW debate again.

Ralof is my second. He's very "bro" like, and it's a damn shame that he can not only not be a follower, but he also is seen very little in the game. Also his dual axes is badass and I wish he'd keep them.

Farkas, Frea , Aela , Arngeir (even if I don't like the greybeards for what they stand for, Arngeir to me is pretty likeable as a grandfather figure), Esburn, Galmar and Vignar (I like the grumpy old man routine, and Galmar is badass), Heimskr and Runil are also characters I enjoy.

edit: Oh, I forgot Serana, of course. And Paarthurnax. And NELOTH! I'll put Neloth as my second favorite character. Badass and a [censored], lol.
