"what do you want my love", when you hear it 10 times in a tow you start to wonder why you got married.

Ugh. The ones in Riverwood is pretty close to that. He says something like "you and me, we're the only ones who aren't fools." I wish I could say this is unrealistic, but lots of real merchants and customers have talked to me like that. Unless you're my best friend I don't appreciate it.

Every single line Lydia says annoys me. I left her sitting in a chair in my house where she couldn't annoy me too much. I just got a message while playing this morning saying she got bored and wandered off. Nothing of value was lost.

I also agree about different voice actors with the same lines. That's just silly.

"Be careful with those flames!"
And
"Go cast your fancy magic somewhere else"

Haha, I thought he sounded like James Woods too!.

Me, I hate Lydia's line about carrying my burdens when I try to give her better armor. Also many of the guard lines do not fit my character, mainly the one that says I'm a sneak-thief. I am no thief, I am a ranger, that is why my sneak skill is so high!

I am generally disappointed in the voice-acting and generic lines, I expected a much better improvement over the previous games.

Ugh my worst line I came across would be: "If I find your hand in my pocket, I cut it off".

I hear it like 10 times in each city I come in, like it's really that bad that I tried to put an Amulet of Mara in a female guard's pocket and see if I could marry her...

Or that little girl in Dragonsreach, my God the next time she says: "A new servant? Remember I like my meat rare".
I'd chop her head off with a Rare Meat Club...but they are invincible :banghead:

Yeah and they are invincible!!! Pffffffft!!!!

LOL I was thinking James Woods too.

Have you been to the cloud district? Haha what am I thinking, of course you haven't.

Sounds like M'Aiq the Liar to me. This made me laugh; He is amazing.

I use the enchanting table in Whiterun all the time, and I swear to god, I am going to snap and shove an ebony sword directly up the behind of that stupid court wizard with the Coen Bros. movie accent:

"Here to discuss the ongoing hostilities with all the other "great warriors?"

I love how he nudges close to me while I'm working and blathers on... I'M ENCHANTING HERE, CREEPY ACCENT GUY. PERSONAL SPACE!

I, too, am also totally mystified why they once again had different voice actors record the exact same lines for shopkeepers.

all of the racist bastards who hate dark elves. I kill them all myself after they tell me how unwelcome i am ;]

Anything by that court wizard in Whiterun. What a terrible VA job, by an annoying sounding actor.

Yeah, thats a tough one, they could have added different lines, altiough the same happened in Oblivion.

Regarding voice acting, I love it this time, the nord accent, the bigger ammount of voice actors... not to mention Ulfric's voice, DAT TONE! The lines could have been more varied, though.

"another guy here to lick my father boots, good job..."

Shame we can't kill kids.

This one by far. But also the guy outside of the General Store in Whiterun.

"You know whats wrong with Skyrim these days!?"

Every. Single. Time.

There's a spoiled upperclass brat in Solitude that says he "doesn't have time for people who are too lazy or cowardly to make their way in the world". That's why my beggar drunken woodelf is on his way to Solitude right now armed with his woodcutter's axe.

Seems every guard also has a cousin that fights dragons. Small world, small world.

"I am sworn to carry your burdens."
"You're damn right you are!"

"Stay out of trouble, elf."
"Racist."

"Orcish armor, eh? I had me a set of that once. Ugly and strong, like the people who make it.
*angry orc face* "I MADE THIS! ORC SMASH!"

This one is especially stupid when your companion tells you this after you come out of the cave, having just cleared it.

Any companion after turning them into a Blade: "I can't believe I'm a Blade".
Well you are! So get over it!

*walk out of cave*
Lydia: Ohh a cave, i wonder whats inside
Me: /facepalm

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the ABYSMAL sound of the guard complaining EVERY TIME YOU USE A SHOUT IN A CITY.

>Dragon attacks Whiterun and is perched on top of a roof, torching people.
>I use Unrelenting Force to try and knock it off.
>A couple of minutes later, when it is dead, guard runs up to me screaming that I used a Thu'um...

I laughed so much reading this thread... i just need to imagine those lines in the game... I'm totally glad Bethesda kept themselves to this crazy style... I laugh a lot at ingame lines.. there are many funny and annoying ones, just like in Oblivion... This is something that i would miss from TES games

Some examples i found funny:

Just after devouring a dragon's soul while some guards were staying around me, they started yelling "I can't believe it! Dragonborn, just like in the legends!" Then i went to talk to one of them and he said "Let me guess, someone stole your Sweetroll?" ... So much for the Dragonborn hype...

Guards also often say "No lollygagging!" .. I didn't care much about it until i found someone in prison who said that he was there because of lollygagging... Ever since then i make sure i don't do lollygagging around guards xD

Also, check out the male Khajiit traders... i can't keep myself from smiling everytime they say "Take a look." They have a pretty funny accent

Oh and M'aiq the Liar is awesome, i always have to check him out when i'm around there
The last time he told me this: "Don't try to block when you have two weapons, you will just get confused. Hitting twice is better anyway."

The more simple ones were mentioned already in the thread ^^


Edit: Oh i got another one... In Whiterun there is a guy who i only talked to once and only asked about his family for like half a minute. Ever since then he always greets me by "You were a good friend to me, that means something."

"THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU FALL DOWN AND BLEED TO DEATH >=D"

And then there's this guy in Whiterun...

"You know what's wrong with Skyrim these days...?"

Nope, and I don't care. Shuddup.

That must've been Maiq the Liar, he's a recurring character from Morrowind and Oblivion, and now Skyrim, that was a reference to Oblivion where NPC's would say the same thing over and over again, lol

^^ This!

I can only conclude that the child actors employed for the job were friends and family of Bethesda.....appalling absolutely and utterly appalling!

Whoever it was at Bethesda who was responsible for deciding that "hey i know! We have this great RPG set in a Scandinavian style wilderness, how about we give the NPC's children with modern American accents and colloquialisms" should be hung, drawn and quartered!

I feel like beheading the little bastards everytime one of them pipes up!
