My favorite was from Oblivion, "Watch Out!! There's a psychopath on the loose!!!".

For some reason, people use to say this all the time when I stepped into town. :hubbahubba:

I used to joke about taking an arrow to the knee, until I took a sword in the chest.

I'm pretty sure it is one of the questions they get asked during the job interview -

What would you describe as your biggest weakness?
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Were you ever an adventurer and if so was the reason you stopped being an adventurer an arrow to the knee?
How would you handle an angry customer?


LOL

ps: pickpocketing a poisoned apple into someones Inventory was pretty hilarious. watching them die just like that, and the reaction of the NPC's was golden

"oh! what happend" *kneels by body* Hes dead ! *stands up and walks away* -nothing happend- :D

I wonder who this mysterious knee hater in Skyrim could be... Going around firing arrows at all knees found must be tiring business.


Me. See my avatar...

every time i go into a dungeon all i hear is 'You shouldn't have come here!'

My personal favourite from Skyrim has to be Nurelion saying 'Why are you just standing there? Got get me that phial you fool!'

In oblivion i liked the guy in tge feed bag that said somethinb like 'Hurray for the feed bag!'

They should be able to afford it. I mean they must be rolling in it seeing how well paid they are by the state to fearlessly they throw themselves at dragons.

That, or they see a dragon and think "Ah ha! A fight were there is no danger of getting an arrow to the knee, cheeeeearge!"

Of course they always get in the way of my snipey archer and... yeah, you know how it ends.

i used to be in the legion. i kept taking arrows to the knee. i hate archers, so i became an adventurer like you, till i took an arrow to the knee, then i became a guard and took a sword to the chest. all while my cousins' off fighting dragons. no lolly gagging. oh wait, let me guess, someone stole your sweet role. i mostly deal with dunken theivery, been a while since we had a good bandit raid.

i love the guards in skyrim. still, i wish that at least one imperial would say 'stop right there criminal scum' just for old time sake.

By Azura! Did you see those men from Hammerfell? They have curved swords. Curved. Swords.

The Gods gave you two knees, and you took an arrow to both of them. I can respect that.

I used to be a curved sword, then I took an adventurer to the sweetroll.

Patrolling Skyrim almost makes you wish for a sweetroll in the knee.

Ahh, Sweetroll armor. By Ysmir, 'tis a wonderous knee.

So you're the new member of the Whiterun Guard. What do you do, fetch the arrows in the knees?

Knee might get nervous, a sweetroll approaches with its arrow drawn

Disrespect the sweetrolls and you disrespect me

Used to be the greatest soldier in the Stormcloak army, then I took a sweetroll to the chest.

When the empire surrendered to the sweetrools, they shamed us all!
