Stupidest guard quote ever

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:46 am

The fur in the ears comment is stupid. It almost always occurs when you are wearing a helmet or hood. When no one can see your ears.
Especially stupid when said to a kad'jitt or argonian.

As lame as the arrow to the knee comments are, you have to admit they have kind of become part of the skyrim fan culture. It makes for a lot of great jokes. Heck, on youtube a guy made a video where he went on a guard killing spree with a bow and shot each one of them in the knees. I do hate the sweetroll comments, and how a lot of the guards sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Hate to be that person but... "stupidest" isn't a word.. unless I'm mistaken?

Uh, but for me, it has to be when they comment stuff like "Is that..fur?.. coming out of your ear?" , even when you've cured yourself of lycanthropy.

Seconded, thirded and fourth'd!!! That is the most vile npc I have ever met! I never thought I could actually really hate an NPC, but she proved me wrong.

For the life of me, i couldnt decide if the guard was being outrageously sarcastic or just plain dumb.
I definitely find it to be a snide remark.

First time I killed thugs in a city I got rather fun comments afterwards, though, as I was dumping the bodies in the graveyard (this was in Falkreath). One said "staying out of trouble?" as I came dragging a body, another asked if someone stole my sweetroll. Good timing, there, I think...
How are you "dumping the bodies in the graveyard"? Or "dragging a body"? Must be missing something here, I think.

I think the guards says alot of stupid things, but the one bothering me the most is the "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?"

Don't mind me, I'll just take this carrot and shove it down your throat.

Guard: "No matter what else happens, the guards will always be grateful for everything you've done!"

Me: "Oh, thank you!"

Guard: "I find your hand in my pocket, I'm going to cut it off!"

Me: Eh, what ...? Didn't you just ...

Guard: "I trust the day's found you well, thane."

Me: Sure, sure, until you ...

Guard: "Now, I know who you are. And... and I know your business... Just, please... These are good folk we got here. Mostly..."

Me: Ah, that's better, some respect, don't worry, I'm not gonna ...

Guard: "Don't cross me, Elf."

Me: You know who I am and still ...? Ok, that's it!

Guard: "You come up to me, fists raised? You looking for a beating?"

Me: Ok, ok, I guess I can't kill you, I'm thane afterall, let's hand forget this ever happened.

Guard: "Don't cross me, Elf."

Me: "You're seriously trying your luck here, mate!"

Guard: "Disrespect the law, you disrespect me."

Me: Just BLEEP off, I'm leaving!

Guard: "No lollygaggin'."

*I pull out my sword*

Guard: "Aye, now that there's a beautiful sword. Like a sliver of midnight. Takes a fair bit of strength to carry a greatsword like that. But can you use it?"

Me: "Yes. Yes, I can"

How are you "dumping the bodies in the graveyard"? Or "dragging a body"? Must be missing something here, I think.

Drag them the same way you move any object. Klick, hold the button a little longer than usual, then move (but slowly, they are easy to drop. And you can't move between cells if you're on console). Klick again to drop.

I was in Falkreath when this happened, and since that place has a graveyard, I thought it would be appropriate to drag them there. :)

After i finished kill the dark brotherhood quest a solitude guard said: You know, I could have gone into that Sanctuary, killed all those Dark Brotherhood types. But I was... sick that day. I guess this guard took an arrow in the knee that day.

I once met a guard who said he was a hero. Until he took an arrow to the knee

To be fair, just because hes using it doesn't mean he likes it. It could be military issue and so has to use it. Have you never said you didnt like something while doing that thing?

Yeah but that's not the reason is it though. It's simply a mistake like a whole bunch of other guard quotes.

The arrow to the knee crap, why the hell did they put that it. Since when did getting shot in the knee stop you adventuring.

He's not complaining, he's telling you how he became a guard.

Sergeant: "You have any combat experience?"
Applicant: "Yes, been wandering Skyrim for years, killed one of just about everything out there."
Sergeant: "Good, good. Can you stand in one place for months on end, with no food, drink, biological breaks?"
Applicant: "Oh, yes, I'm a veritable statue."
Sergeant: "Can you be bartered with, like one of those damned shopkeepers?"
Applicant: "NO! No one can barter with me! My prices are firm, don't even bother offering less!"
Sergeant: "Excellent. Are you a member in good standing of the Psychic Friends Network?"
Applicant: "I knew you were going to ask that. Here's my dossier."
Sergeant: "Let's hear your best Arnold Schwarzenegger voice."
Applicant: "I'll be back."
Sergeant: "Wow, very convincing. Okay, one last thing. Have you ever taken an arrow to the knee?"
Applicant: "Uh, no, never been shot in the knee."
Sergeant: "We're done here. NEXT!"
