As a prisoner not unlike the last became the champion of the Imperial City Arena, a young woodelf not unlike one encountered in the city of Skingrad, begged the hero to be allowed to follow him/her and quickly became a nuisance.
Even the Lone wanderer of the wastes was not exempt from annoyance, a teen from the settlement of Little Lamplight asked to be escorted to Bigtown.
The point I'm getting across is that for the last few games Bethseda has managed to create an npc that was hated by much of the fanbase for it's annoyance. I also believe that I might have some ideas one what the new nuisance of Skyrim will be.
1. It will be a Wood-elf
2. He or she will be from the Bard's College
That is all.
