Who's your least favorite NPC?

Post by skillest »

I'm not sure if there is a topic like this for Skyrim yet... but I'm doing it anyways! So I'd like to know what NPC's you guys hate the most in Skyrim. My choice would be Nazeem in Whiterun. Just that one sentence with that obnoxious voice "do you get up to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying? Of course you don't."...arrgggg.

My Wife's butt-boy Aerin ticks me off pretty bad... As do most people with Nazeem's voice. It sounds so slimy! Especially the girl in Ivarstead that is connected to Mara's quest's suitor. Eew.

The children. All of them. I also strongly dislike... Whatever the name of the guy who runs the Thief's Guild is, those Nords in Windhelm who were harrassing that Dark Elf, and Cicero. He just annoys me for some reason.

1). Maven Black-Briar. Been thinking of taking her out...not sure if she is essential?

2). Bethelor. He and his assistant are annoying enough that I dread going to their store.

3). Brunwulf Free-Winter. This guy is always crowding me and getting in my way in the shopping plaza at Windhelm.

Honorable mention to Mila (kid at Whiterun) and any Thalmor Justicar.....

Edit: Wiki says Maven is essential. Unfortunate as she deserves to go. Too bad you can't hire the Dark Brotherhood for special cases like her.

Maven, definitely, and Delphine. Both essential, but well, that's what the console is for :3

The innkeep at Candlehearth in Windhelm. Also that patron there, who goes to the gray quarter and "Shows those greyskins what he thinks of them". I beat him up everytime I see him.

1. Delphine for telling me to kill the only dragon who's helped me.

2. That dude who goes around the Gray-Quarter at night shouting insults at the Dunmer. Seriously considering killing him if he's not essential.

3. Nazeem for being a stuck-up [@#@].

All the others aren't really too bad!

The lady Argonian out on the Windhelm docks.

Every time I talk to her I have to clear my throat six or seven times because she won't clear hers! 'Course, I could apply that to any of the female Argonians, as I find the voice acting mostly overdone and coming off as absolutely sickly. But she's the worst of them.

Personality-wise she's fine... but that voice!

Vignar Grey-Mane would be up there, as would Rolff Stone-Fist. Heimskr is also an irritating fellow, although not so much hateable. All in all, I have to say Vignar, for what he did

Hadvar's boss, the Imperial Captain who sent me to the block for no good reason. Always happy to make another new character just to so she can be my first kill again.

I need a mod where I can drag her down into the torture room instead./

I really hate that Maven Black-Briar....or should I say maven...she doesn't deserve the capital letters....she is so nasty don't she know that I am going to kill her when she is no longer necessary. She should though I've told her again and again. Then I'm going to drag her body to the lake and dump her for the slauterfish. I usually kill her after every time she talks to me, but alas I reload and endure.

The Dunmer-insulting guy, by far. Killed him without hesitation the second time he said it; didn't look back.

Delphine comes in at a close second. She is a you-know-what, plain and simple.

Edit: Edited post to remove "asterisk-decensor". My apologies.

Rolif Stone-Fist I hate him with the burning passion of a thousand suns. And he is essential.

Guards. They say annoying things.

Delphine and Esbern. They wanted me to kill my favorite character in the game.... I tried killing them.

The patron of the battle born clan. ULFRIND! PATRON OF THE GREAT CLAN BATTLE BORN!

Nazeem. I am the thane you....you are a farmer, learn your place in the aldmeri dominion

And finally Farengar Secret fire, I am the archmage, I could literally send you to a plane of oblivion or have you torn apart by angry atronachs.

Oh thank you for having the same opinion as me! As soon as I heard it I started thinking about how many people would do it thinking it was required or just because they are cruel.

But a bit more on the topic, I despise Nazeem and that's all. His humiliating voice... Just because he goes to the Cloud District doesn't make him any cooler than me or anyone really. Sliced his head off with a guard watching. Reminded him of who's the Thane and he just ignored the whole thing. First and last time I killed someone. Felt so good.
... and OUT comes the intestines! And I skip rope with them!
