I did a quick search of the forums and this thread didn’t come up, so hopefully I’m not being too unoriginal. I thought what we could do, is share our five favorite NPCs from Skyrim and some reasons why we like them in particular. So without further ado here are my selections for the most interesting people in Skyrim.

1. Ulfric Stormcloak, love him or hate him, the man is as dynamic as he is divisive, I personally want to know what happens to him and more about what made him the man he is.
2. Kodlak Whitemane, to me the guy oozes grizzled veteran and wise sensei vibes. How did he become Harbinger? What epic deeds did he perform in his prime?
3. Madanach, to me this guy has so much history that I want to know. I also think he’s a compelling character in his own right, an exiled king who is a slave in his own kingdom, all kinds of possible character development.
4. General Tullius, he is one of the main players, but we learn almost nothing of his character throughout his associated quests, we do catch glimpses though, of a stern and reserved veteran soldier whose devotion to duty is inspiring, but that’s about it.
5. Vignar Gray-Mane, he has some great dialogue and he becomes an important character if you side with the Stormcloaks and his embittered curmudgeonliness appeals to me.

Well there you go, my criteria for interesting characters seems to include undeveloped potential and old age. Who are your favorites and why?
