I used to be the best soldier in the Stormcloak army. Then I took a sword through the chest.

Mai'q was soul trapped once. You should think about that once in a while.

Yeah, all I can think of is "I am sworn to carry your burdens..." in Lydia's snarky and exasperated voice.

Why, it has to be Farengar Secret-Fire's 'Come to Dragonsreach to discuss the hostilities like the other "great warriors?"'

No, I've come to use your Arcane Enchanter. Again. Like the 3,646 times I previously did.

You seen those warriors from Hammefell?

They've got curved swords.

CURVED! SWORDS!

Just heard these two tonight.

One of the old warrior/patriarchs of Whiterun said to my PC, after catching me in a botched sneak attempt--
"(sigh) You're a bad sneak. You're not creeping up on anybody like that."

My follower, Illia, after stepping on a shock rune--
"Ha! like the bite of a flea"

"Well, you see, as it turns out, I had a pet skeever when I was a boy. And he used to wink."
".. as good a reason as any, I suppose."
"I thought so."

Made me laugh out loud.

The thing I love most about Mjoll is her sense of timing. I know its random chance but when she lets out a huge sigh after a long and boring speech from Ulfric I can't help but chuckle.

"There's no glory in war. It's just something they tell soldiers so they'll risk their lives."

"They call me a war hero. I'm no hero, I'm just a soldier who didn't want to die."

Both from Brunwulf Free-Winter, whom I think should be the Jarl of Windhelm, even if I happen to serve the Stormcloaks.

"Aw, must oil mother soon, get all the hard to reach places."
"...Cicero is hungry...need a sweetroll...or a carrot..."
"Let's kill someone."
"If it's any comfort, I do feel slightly bad about Veezara. Stupid lizard got in my way! But please tell me that hulking sheepdog has bled to death."
"Fall, damn you!"
"For someone called the Listener, you do an awful lot of shouting!"
"I saw a dwarf! I did, I did! Cicero saw a dwarf! There--oh, no... sorry, mhm, no dwarf."
-Cicero

"Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick. It's a very delicate state of mind!"
"You are the best Septim that's ever ruled. Well, except for that Martin fellow, but he turned into a dragon god, and that's hardly sporting..."
"Was it Molag? No, no... Little Tim, the toymaker's son? The ghost of King Lysandus? Or was it... Yes! Stanley, that talking grapefruit from Passwall"
"Now you. You can call me Ann Marie. But only if you're partial to being flayed alive and having an angry immortal skip rope with your entrails. I'f not... Then call me Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness. Charmed."
"Ooh, ooh, what kind of message? A song? a summons? Wait, i know! A death threat written on the back of an Argonian concubine? Those are my favorite."
"You know, you remind me of myself at a young age. All I cared about was riding narwhales and sleeping in honeycombs and drinking babies' tears..."
"And as for you, my little mortal minion... Feel free to keep the Wabbajack. As a symbol of my... Oh, just take the damn thing."
-Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness


"Too much magic can be dangerous. M'aiq once had two spells and burned his sweetroll."
"I saw a mudcrab the other day. Horrible creatures!"
"M'aiq does not understand what is so impressive about shouting. M'aiq can shout whenever he wants."
"Dragons were never gone. They were just invisible, and very very quiet."
"Nords' armor has lots of fur. This sometimes makes M'aiq nervous."
"Some say Alduin is Akatosh. Some say M'aiq is a Liar. Don't you believe either of those things."
"M'aiq's father was also called M'aiq. As was M'aiq's father's father. At least, that's what his father said."
-M'aiq the Liar

"A worker gets out of line? I get him back in line." the smelter overseer in Markarth.

All of Nazir's little puns, as well as his thoughts on Cicero & the night mother.

The guards response to the mace of Molag Bal.

Anything the imperials with Balthiers voice actor say. Ditto Delvin Mallory.
It's okay to disagree with me, you're entitled to your opinion. No matter how wrong you are.

Radiant AI response from bystanders to a confrontation. Any kind of confrontation, it seems. :wink:
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Everything that M'aiq says is golden. There are some others that have made me laugh, but I can't think of them right now.
