this is not 100 % exact quote, but...
when you have high conjuration skill, random guard will coment: 'you are conjurer? Conjure me a warm bed, will you?'

There's was a guard in Dawnstar by the mines near the water that walked up to me and said this.
The way he said it made it come across like a double entendre.

"Think you could enchant my sword"? .... and then something else I can't recall...think I was too stunned by the first bit to pay attention. lol

And have to agree about M'aiq and Sheogorath. Absolutely love listening to them!

Was passing through Windhelm today when I heard someone say "I used to be a Stormcloak. Then I took a sword through the chest." Wow. Those Whiterun guards don't got [&@%!] on this guy!
“Fine day” said the young man.

“Gods!” hollered Zaki, sending the young man flying with a well-placed punch, and dashing away.

"...dull old thing can barely cut butter."

I also heard something when I was wandering around Markarth which I didn't really pay attention to at first, but a couple minutes later it sunk in and I realized it was a horrifically depressing statement (so its a great quote cause it was actually emotionally powerful to me, but I don't like it since its sad)

I know, if it wasn't for his blatant racism he'd be THE Skyrim BA

I feel like there was an older thread on quotes that I posted in, so I'll paraphrase: anything any Khajiit said anywhere, I still get a warm fuzzy feeling when I hear "Khajiit has wares, if you have coin"...but that might have something to do with my cat's habit of sleeping on my lap while playing...

"Remember! Hit the one in the middle!" - random spectator during a brawl in Markarth's inn

For some reason I heard this line from Rocky IV for the first time the other day, and I've had quite a few brawls since the game was released.

First time I heard him say that, I about fell out of my chair. All I could think of was the Terminator.

"These sands are cold but I feel a warm presence from you."

And every line that Hircine has.


Also the conversations with Vile were pretty funny.

Gabriella~the simple woman with refined tastes. "I enjoy moonlit nights, long walks on the beach, knitting and unicorns. In fact I once took a seaside stroll on a moonlit night and discovered a unicorn, which I stabbed in the throat with a crochet needle. I'm a woman of simple, yet refined tastes."

:lol: Would've liked it if my assassin of a Dunmer could marry her. But ah well.

Bandit Orc, after killing me: "And they call me uncivilized. Atleast I don't leave my trash around."

They only say this if you drop your weapon when you die.

"Might head down to the meadery later"

Also I met a Breton who told me he was returning to High Rock while he was walking to the west towards Morrowind :lol:

I heard a Thalmor agent say something like "It's amazing how some people will simply leave their trash lying around..." I know he was talking about my dropped weapons, but I cannot help but think he was insulting my electrocuted corpse.

going to Sovngarde, and when asked why you should be allowed in:

"I am dragonborn", hands down one of the better quotes. The amount of swag that quote holds is unimaginable. Because when you honestly think about it, you're some mortal strolling in Heaven and demanding to a God you gain entrance.

"I've seen fresh recruits with more skill than you." - Pretty sure that came from General Tullius during the battle in Windhelm. Made me laugh.

Sadly no quote in this game will ever live up to this memorable gem. Guards in Oblivion were just as awesome as they were game breaking, who doesn't love being hunted down by physic medieval drill sergeants.
