What character do you dislike the most out of all of them, and why?

Gaenor from Tribunal. Not only is he extremely annoying with his impossible requests, but he later turns into an absurdly difficult fight in a public area, effectively keeping you out of a quarter of Mournhold until you can defeat him.

Delphine. Because she is more insufferable than *I* am. And more seriously, she is more important than I am, as enforced by her stupid Essential tag. Surely I could just kill her, kill all the damn dragons, and do it on my own?

Game designers serve up the "No" sauce.

I'm not sure if I should say Mariah from Redguard or not. On the one hand, she was the Most. Irritating. Thing. Ever. Surpassing Morrowind and Oblivion's Wood Elves by LEAPS AND BOUNDS... Mehrunes Dagon's Leaps and Bounds.

On the other hand, she is f*ing hilarious, purely by virtue of how incredibly irritating she was.

To not be so generic, I won't say any of the main antagonists, reasons being because are well conceived and definately not the most annoying or insufferable, at least by what I find, but in TES IV: Oblivion , it is pretty much that adoring fan, not only because he was eerily over-ecstatic to meet you, but just because of the constant "smirk-ish" look he had on his face if you agreed to let him follow you, not to say he should have never been made. I mean, how else would I have gotten a kick to start off my main quest by "Sparta- Kicking" him off the Jerall Mountains... fifteen times ... in a row... re-load after re-load...

In the expansion of Oblivion, I found alot of the characters amusing, not so much annoying, but I just feel that the Golden Saints of Bliss were very insufferable, the way they always seemed to snarl at you even when you had a high disposition with them, I even rose to be Madgod and still, they seemed to snarl at me and put me down with their words, over- confidence , and haughtiness. x.x

If it had to be TES V: Skyrim, I would say Endaari ( or Endari? Enndari? whatever her name is...) at the Radiant Raiment, they insult me no matter how much I buy their clothes and prance in front of them! D: Why so mean girls WHY?

If I had to think back to TES III: Morrowind it would probably be Crassius Curio, simply because I played a female dark elf, first time through, and seeing him and the way he talked to me D: ... he gave my character chills, I tried a second run through to see if the dialogue was the same with a male ,after I thought I had done all I could do, and it was the same, and my mind was made that I would officially avoid him at every chance possible. xD

I can't really remember any annoying characters in Daggerfall... I really need to play it again once more one day so I can answer questions like this and feel proud I know who is what. xD

The legion captain at the start of Skyrim. I wasn't on her list, damnit!

Orvas Dren. Slave owner, Dagoth Ur supporter, what's not to love?

Earana, from the 'Fingers of the Mountain' quest in Oblivion. I was very pleased when I discovered I could tell her 'nope, I'm not stealing the book back for you. Goodbye!'

Morrowind + Expansions

Vivec: He was wearing a diaper.. just insanely creepy.
Almalexia: Yeah I didn't really like the whole she goes insane and tries to kill me part. Which kind of ruined the whole "Hey baby, I'm the reincarnated form of your late husband. Wanna hook up?" aspect I was trying to play my Nerevarine as.

Okay to be fair these are just about the only characters I can actually remember from Morrowind. The only other ones I can really remember are ones I actually liked.

Oblivion + Expansions

blah blah Count Bravil: No reason, just didn't like him.
The Gray Fox: The weird cowl he showed up in just threw me off.
Thadon Duke of Mania: Bosmers, I generally hate them. Especially the male ones since Syl was one of my favorites. Only good thing about this character was that I got to burst his heart.
Jauffre: He got more lines then Patrick Stewart? Come onn now.

Most other characters did not rate high enough to count as a least favorite. Some were just blips on the radar.

Skyrim

Ulfric Stormcloak: I thought he was supposed to be charismatic...
Thalmer(Enter any name): My current "Quest" in the game is to slay all Thalmer in Skyrim. I am just on the verge of killing all Altmer and Bosmer as well. If anybody gets to screw the empire over it's going to be me, not some trumped up elves with a god complex.
Family Silver-Blood: Have me arrested then give me a pardon? Close to the removing the "Silver" part of your cities "motto"

Sheogorath. I thought most of his dialogue was something a 13-year-old might write, a stereotypical, pseudo-Hollywood attempt to "do" madness.

It's an unpopular opinion, but I share it too. I'd much rather Shheogorath's madness was more of an ineffable Lovecraft-esque madness, instead of the "wacky" madness we're given.

One would think Sheogorath would be comfortable with his madness, and good at covering it up with general wackiness, in the interests of being capable of interacting with mortals. But if you read about some of the stuff he's done to mortals, his madness isn't just "wackiness"...

Viatrix Petillia. Ungrateful snobbish cheapskate, but shes meant to be annoying.

i
always thought he wouldnt seem mad to the mortal he talks to, he would just drag them to maddness. though the pc maby he does seem that way for continuality after meeting him.

I dislike Gaenor and Orvas Dren the most. If I had to pick one, it would be Orvas Dren because he has Daedric greaves on a shelf right next to him and it's just tempting to grab them without getting caught...
