Dagoth Ur.
I'm just annoyed that Vivec and Azura, forced you to kill him... I sympathize with him fully... All he wanted to do was get rid of the Imperialist dogs that had invaded his home, and forced their region and believes upon his people... With no regard to what the population wanted, whom, could quite happily kick the Legion's ass several time over...

How has no one said Crassius Curio? O_o

Anyway, he's no. 1, after that I'd say Carnius Magius.

Aelwin Merowald - I always found his story so sad. It resembles the mexicans in South Park when they were to read the Old Man and the Sea and write an essay for Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman and you can see how sad they are that the old man catches no fiiiish :(

No. 1, Martin Septim. I just love Sean Bean, he has the coolest voice.
Then, Uncle Crassius. He always took care of his little pudding...

I like many NPCs in Oblivion, so I find it hard to make a choice :)
As for the Adoring Fan, I never kill him. I seldom let him follow me though, but not because he annoys me, but rather in order for him not to get lost or killed while he is trotting after me on my travels; so I place him in a room in one of my houses - he has his own room, yay! He is hanging around there, keeping out of trouble, entertaining my guests and making me smile with his greetings when I drop by :)
Regarding Morrowind, I haven't played it all that much, but I have already managed to come across some interesting NPCs, like the Khajiit in the Balmora Mages Guild who writes funny reports about mushrooms, and the, uhm, loveable Dunmer robber (Nels Llendo I believe). The Spymaster seems interesting as well :) I still have to meet the one and only Curio though :P
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
But why bounce around to the same damn song?

M'aiq, Sheogorath and the Adoring Fan.

......Of course there's others but these are the best imo.

Ferul Ravel.

"Killed and ate a Bosmer there. But it made me sick. Saw Lord Sheogorath in the vomitus, so that's all right. Here to sacrifice? A limb would be nice." Should you choose to stop the conversation, he will say: "Then you should run along. Fly, fly! Take off, now. Scat! Make tracks. Get going. Run for your life. And have a nice day!"

Gogron gro-Bolmog.
"So, your first contract. No chance for a bonus, huh? That's all right, you're better off! Who needs magic items when you've got raw skill? And the great thing about killing a target up close and personal is you can talk to 'em before you do it! You know, say something scary! For example, this one time I had a contract to kill a little Nord girl at her birthday party. She asked me if I was the jester! So I said to her."No, I am a messenger of death." You should have seen the look on her face! Ha ha ha ha! Anyway, she won't be seeing age six!"

I love that quote (I think I may have posted it in the quotes sticky too :mrgreen:) and that character. It's quite ironic to have an Orc bookseller. :P

Jiub.

The first thing you see in Morrowind is this dude? Awesome. Just sets the tone for the game in my opinion. Shirtless men with blue/grey skin, red eyes, and a cool scar? Yep, gonna be a great game.

And Caius. And Sheo. And Martin.

Oh, and Jiub. Though I'd appreciate it if he drove out the cliff racers /before/ we got to Morrowind... I think that Todd was reading hatemail when he added cliff racers.
