Festus has got to be the funniest NPC in the entire game.

My question to you: Would you rather have Cicero as a follower or Festus Krex with a lot more dialogue?

Easy choice since I despise Cicero.

Same with me. Cicero is my least favorite NPC in Skyrim.

I thought that Cicero was the character that people liked.

I hate Cicero myself.

Another one for the Cicero Haters Club. Festus is pretty cool.

Cicero is fun as a follower for a few minutes. Then he gets really annoying.

Festus is pretty cool! He says some great stuff.

I like Cicero, but would probably prefer Festus as a follower, if only to see him actually try to use that spell that nearly turned someone inside out.

"When life gives you lemons, go murder a clown."

I'd take anyone over Cicero... even Nazeem.

Never spent much time with Festus though... I'm not in the habit of taking mage followers.

I don't recall the exact quote, but sometimes when you end a conversation with him he'll say something like

"Yeah, yeah, hail Sithis and all that stuff"

The tone is great! It's not like he's diss'ing Sithis he's just sort of bored with the formalities.

Quite! It's amazing.

I always save cicero, simply because i cant stand Astrid ordering me around with her "i'm all that" attitude, that being said, i only used him as a follower once for some DB radiant quests, he just got in the way.

I like both Cicero and Festus along with Gabriella, Babette, and Nazir. Festus reminded of a cool grandpa. As for Cicero I like him in small doses, I never used him as follower, since assassins work solo. Damn now I want to replay the DB questline.
