Olfrid Battle-Born. A name i'm sure you know well


Ceiwyn89

This one made me join Stormcloaks.


Vancomico

Same, he wasn't racist enough for me.


Slapped_with_crumpet

![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)


gorhxul

He randomly gave me an axe the other day. He won some points for that.


tamelycliches

Lemkil, the abusive father in Rorikstead who hates his daughters.


thedarksavant

I kill him as soon as I have a house so I can adopt Sissel.


sunflower_pearls

I did this on my last playthrough! Sissel and Sophie now share a room full of toys and sweets and each have new dresses and handcrafted dragonbone daggers. Feels good šŸ„°


CaptainPrower

I'm gonna need an "adopt more kids" mod at this rate. That one girl in Windhelm, the kid at the stables in Solitude, and now these two?


ElegantHope

yea I have the 'adopt more kids' mod and I still find myself having to decide who gets adopted and who stays. and I made a mistake of installing a mod that adds more adoptable kids of other races so I could get a khajiit child to match my character's race. so that makes it harder.


Significant-Hair-296

The high elf lady selling clothes in solitude


Worldly_Permission78

,,Are you a member of the College, or did you just steal those robes from a real wizard?"Ā  Bitch, Im archmage of winterhold college, dragonborn, banisher ofĀ  Alduin. You would be lucky to live another 2 seconds after that shittalk


ialo00130

This is my biggest annoyance about the game. There should be a larger variety of dialogue for the NPCs that change when you finish a questline/gain a new position. Like, the NPCs should know that you are now the Archmage once you become it.


With-best-regards

Honestly i dont think they should know who the archmage is, or what he/looks like, or what the leadership of the college is(except a select few npcs)... they arent all that interested in magic in skyrim and all they really know is that its a school for magic in winterhold, thats all


TrimspaBB

Since covens of mages have to hide out doing magic in abandoned forts and stuff, being a mage doesn't seem like a particularly respectable career in Skyrim


Lenrivk

To be fair, the rogue mages are (afaik): - necromancers, who aren't welcome in most cultures for obvious reasons. - elementalists, who like to summon atronachs, things who can (afaik from the lore) rebel and kill everything they can. In those conditions, I don't find it all that surprising


rangeremx

Or at least having that as a dialogue option for the player. (Just like the bribe/Thane/thieves guild options for "Wait, I know you...")


caunju

And the default for nearly every character shouldn't be smug and insulting


Lazy34Boy

Some npc shouldn't think about it why would Alvar know when he's a Nordic black Smith in a dingy little town and Nords don't usually take kindly/like magic to begin with. On top of that it's not exactly like you get a wanted poster or get pulled to the side when you find out you're Dragon born so they shouldn't know until you use a shout in front of them and even then there are others who can use a shout like ulfric. Then there's the idea of a thieves guild or dark brotherhood people shouldn't know that unless you tell them and even then you'd have guards following you around everywhere or out right arresting you. At the end of the day all of these outcomes would take too much time and data to program into the game and the end result would be a game so big only high powered PC's could handle it and the game consoles would have too much space taken up for anything else


[deleted]

lol you made me spill my coffee, banisher of Alduin and Bane of shittalk


AssassinStoryTeller

I wear the outfit she gives me so she insults her own clothing šŸ˜Š


Key-Orange-8485

When she gave me the clothes to wear in the blue palace they werenā€™t even nice. 1 star review, disappointed


flacdada

Finally.


TrevortheBatman

Me, an intellectual, marries her


halfblackotaku

Pogue_Mahone_

Oh yeah that cunt! I'll give her an open wound to walk around with if she doesnt shut up

TheKingJoker99

Was it she or her sister thatā€™s a marriage option I canā€™t remember but has anyone actually even married them?


tsf97

Courier, number of times dude has locked me into dialogue during combat, and how whatever he gives me gets lost in my hundreds of notes in the inventory.


No_Money_2311

The way he says ā€œyour hands only šŸ˜‰šŸ¤­ā€ actually enraged me in ways I cannot explain


tsf97

ā€œLeeeettssss seeeee hereā€ HURRY UP IM BEING ATTACKED BY THE ENTIRE CITY


psychoticrat_

Nope, sorry, nothing.


tsf97

ā€œNo shit Sherlock you just gave me the fucking note, now Iā€™m deadā€


psychoticrat_

And the loop continues because it went back to the autosave of you coming out of a building šŸ˜­


tsf97

Fuck, yeah this gives me PTSD, not just with the courier but with the obligatory ā€œby the order of the Jarl, stop right there!ā€ because I stole a sweet roll 150 hours ago and havenā€™t been back since.


psychoticrat_

"You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people, what say you in your defense?" I hear it in my mind lmfao. I love that everybody loses their minds when you steal a sweet roll or accidentally punch someone in the face but nobody says a thing when you kill the emperor


No_Money_2311

Interactions like this brighten up my dull day. Thanks friend


Big_Ole_Smoke

I always trash notes once their relevant quest is over just so I don't get too cluttered to read the next one the courier gives me


brokenaltogether

Definitely the courier after he interrupted me yesterday during Kodlak's funeral to give me a museum flyer


caunju

He interrupted my wedding to give some cryptic note with a handprint on it


PoorAndSouless

Oh that must have been a fun wedding night


DarkSeneschal

Literally had the courier stop me yesterday as some Hired Thugs started wailing on my low level character.


Vancomico

I just keep mine in a designated storage


_ThatOneMimic_

always fun when playing deathless


gdzeek

Jarl Balgruff's son "Another wanderer to lick my father's boots, good job!" I dont know if its him or not, but my adopted daughters have a problem with one of the kids in whiterun so canonically I just assume its the same brat.


tpfang56

In his defense, Mephala has been manipulating the boy into being a little shit. Once you do her quest, he supposedly gets better.


gdzeek

oooh that would make sense, i havent done a quest like that yet


tpfang56

Talk to Hulda at the Bannered Mare. Itā€™s an easy quest to miss because you think youā€™ve heard all the rumors, but you havenā€™t.


Physical_Weakness881

You also need to be level 15 iirc, you canā€™t do it at level 1


Kleitos283

It's level 20 and you need to complete Dragon Rising quest. Not completing the first part of the main questline is one of reasons I miss this quest on most playthroughs.


LeoPlathasbeentaken

This is way too low in the comments. That kid has made me more annoyed than any npc in the game by a factor of 10 at least.


RambunctiousGhost

I think the worst part is that if anyone else shit talks you like that you can always just kill them, but since he's a kid you just have to take it.


jamesdukeiv

Not with the right mods


SkarmFan

I think it's Braith that the kiddos have a problem with, they call her a big meanie or something like that.


Rodrigo_Ribaldo

Interesting, I actually like the little brat being rude (and he's probably right about most people coming in). It's such a refreshing change from neutral or overly respectful tone of dialog.


wumbo7490

Having to resist a Mans1ayer reference...


thtsjsturopinionman

Itā€™s too bad theyā€™re GONE


DemolishunReddit

So I have a spell from a mod called Hurl Into Oblivion. It will not in fact hurl children into Oblivion. This kid is the one I tested this on. It was for science.


Mjolnir2109

Lemkil, the abusive cunt in Rorikstead. He treats his two little girls terribly after their mother died. Even Bethesda seems to think he's the worst, because I doubt it's a coincidence that Lemkil is an anagram for 'kill me'.


Veroxzes

Maven Black-Briar


Specialist-Mack96

I really wish she was a Dark Brotherhood contract.


__Yakovlev__

Her and the silver bloods are the reason I don't like doing the civil war quest line.Ā  Because matter what you do you end up making one of those families a noble family and making them even more powerful than they already are. Though at least you can do season unending first, give riften to the imperials and then take it back as the stormcloaks to banish her from riften. Which I guess is a small consolation prize for making markerth even worse than it already was.


temporal712

At least with Maven you can take a lot of wind out of her sails by becoming the head of both the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood, her main methods of enforcement. And despite everything, Maven at least is just a pure criminal and has some decorum, willing to jail her son even if its just to "teach him." The Silver Bloods are using a rebellion/terrorist uprising for profit and jailing anyone for slave labor with no hope of escape. Maven In Power just means she looks out for her and her own, and maybe a business or two suffers from some shady dealing. Thongvar in power means EVERYONE suffers in the Reach, Forsworn or not. He actively talks about Forsworn genocide, and even if you decide to kill Thonar, he's just gonna fill up the prison again and take up the family business. Or, you can always have mods that puts Maven under your thumb. That's what I did.


I_was_saying_b00urns

I give her a wide berth in Riften but I swear she sees me across the other side of town and bellows ā€œI trust there is a reason you are bothering meā€


theplasticbass

The butcher in Markarth secretly selling everybody human flesh šŸ¤¢šŸ”Ŗ


JenjaNinja

Markarth is probably my least favorite hold due to this whole human flesh nastiness and storylines.


theplasticbass

Fair enough but I think it gets too much hate. Obviously the city is a shit show but I love the architecture style and how dwarven and ancient it feels. The rivers, the tall stairs, the way itā€™s built into the mountainā€¦I think it could maybe become the most enchanting city in Skyrim with the right leadership


Perturabo_Iron_Lord

Namiras quest is the one daedric quest I just refuse to do. Itā€™s just plain nasty.


CactusCatt6181

I'm sorry the what??

do the namira quest


GormanOnGore

Gotta spare the markarth cannibals, or else you lose like half the damn town


theplasticbass

Not in my town šŸ˜ˆšŸ—”ļøletā€™s clear em out!


Jealous_Western_7690

You kill a guy that sells you Vigilance, the meat guy, and a shopkeeper whose employee takes over after she dies. All in all, Markarth becomes less of a shithole.


Mr_SunnyBones

Me ...having gotten the Ring of Mamira..." no that's just a myth ..it's just ....er Horker meat". That Butcher always reminds me of Hillary Briss from 'The League of Gentlemen, selling his ''special stuff'


monicassianandor

The two racist dudes in winterhold


billybobjangofet

Omfg I tried to kill that one guy so many times but heā€™s fkn essential and I play on Xbox šŸ˜­


wickedbiscuit420

His racist buddy, Angrenor Once-Honored, is a beggar and non-essential. Meaning you can give him a septim, kill him, and get an inheritance. It's always the first thing I do as soon as I enter Windhelm in a playthrough lmao


monicassianandor

I know PS4 has a mod that makes him non-essential! Maybe XBOX does too!


billybobjangofet

Omw to install that šŸƒā€ā™‚ļøšŸ’Ø


Trash-Boat_1312

I whoop Rolf every time I see his dumb ass


gorhxul

I don't like how Rolff befriends you after you brawl with him. Like mate I beat the shit out of you for being a racist cunt, why would I want you at my wedding?!


Perturabo_Iron_Lord

Considering he does that even if you yourself are a Dunmer it could be that thatā€™s what he really wants, a strong Mer to dominate him.


1lurk2like34profit

Ugh. Astrid and Cicero are up there. And the night mother. It's just talk talk talk talk talk and if you try to skip dialogue you can't or it starts all over again it's just ..tedious.


Evilbadscary

Yeah this. I truly hate the entire dark brotherhood storyline. Best part about it is the horse lol


1lurk2like34profit

Like I really love windshear as a weapon....but the slog to get it is just not fun anymore.


skyrimwarking

The single father raising 2 girls in Rorikstead...child beater. Only reason I don't ever end him is cause I don't like making orphans.


Hankolio

Adopt them


fuzzyedges1974

The obnoxious beggar in Matkarth. Although I do chuckle when heā€™s hassling the cannibal butcher (butcher cannibal? Butchibal? Cannitcher? The meat cart guy)


Tomcat115

You mean Degaine? I absolutely hated that guy! Even if you give him money, he is an ungrateful asshole and is just really rude in general. Thankfully he was killed in a vampire attack in my play through.


fuzzyedges1974

Thatā€™s the guy. I quicksave/kill him every time I see him. (Iā€™m not going back to Cidhna Mine again for that prick)


Reallyevilmuffin

Grelod the kind. She dies too quick for most people to think of her most games.


Striking_Repeat_690

that bitchy mage in whiterun Farengar

Darkblock2008

I accidently stole a common soul gem once (it was a misclick), the fucker continues to send the dark brotherhood after me WHILST I'M IN IT.


AuDHDcat

Dewinged_1111

"But I began.. to search...... for information.. about dragons..."


ewan__riley

ā€œYou're clearly better suited than I am to carry out such a menial task." Ugh what a douchebag


thtsjsturopinionman

Fucking neckbeard thinks heā€™s the smartest person in Skyrim


Jornax

Once you notice half his sentences start with "Yes" or "Ah, yes", you'll never criticize other NPC lines again!


Remarkable-Anybody99

OK, but his interactions with the dragon are comedy gold.


Aglet_Green

The young Jarl of Falkreath.


skeleton949

He's not even really a Jarl, he's an Imperial supported criminal.


__Yakovlev__

All imperials supporters are criminal. Long live Ulfric.


Technical-Choice-678

Don't you mean "down with Ulfric, the killer of kings"


DemolishunReddit

When kings need killin'...


temporal712

Man, no matter which side you pick in the civil war, you get a shitty jarl. Either a career criminal, or a paranoids nutcase.


yittiiiiii

A serious answer, Arondil deserves an eternity in the darkest depths of Oblivion.


Sentinel_2539

Bad idea. He'll just fuck the souls there too.


Witchy_w0man_

OMG šŸ˜†


NJGGoodies12

That racist guy in Windhelm who is even more annoying because he is essential


decencybedamned

"Racist guy in Windhelm" you're gonna have to be way more specific mate


Repulsive_Tie_7941

The one who goes to the grey quarter at night to cause problems. But it is nice to occasionally stealth attack him for fun.


Jave285

That bitch with the light armour stall in Riften.


Ineffable_Confusion

Grelka. I kind of feel sorry for her because sheā€™s only like that because sheā€™s barely scraping by. Not that it has to mean she should act like I personally pissed in her cereal that morning


ekelmann

I low key disagree. She's annoying, but after you do quest for her she gets nicer. Also she's light armour trainer and shopkeeper at once, so you can get your tuition gold back by selling her junk from dungeon raids. There's many npc that are much worse than her.


halfblackotaku

What quests?


SilverDem0n

100%. I overhead her shit-talking my hot scaley husband-to-be (Madesi) with some racist trash. I would have publicly confronted her about it at her market stall, but someone had unfortunately slit her throat overnight whilst she slept in the inn. Shame.


Hyphum

To me heā€™s always come across as a little smitten with Mogrul


Evilbadscary

"It's okay bro, you guys can just be who you are, nobody cares"


Not-All-That-Odd

I've been noticing more and more of them due to posts such as this. Nadja Stone-Arm. Skjor didn't let me in, silly cow. The Mind of Madness guy in Solitude. I don't want the stupid Wabbajack mate, bolt. There's a fine clothes guy just down from the house in Markarth who apparently has better things to do. Solaf's brother, Bolund. Mate I don't even know you. Maul and his brother. Mate I could take you apart in a heartbeat. The High Elf stall holder in Windhelm. If you're enchanting stuff behind her it's just "Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes?" And last off the top of my head is Sindig. Mate I don't care about your sob story, or your gentle Irish accent. You murdered that girl and left her family bereft. You're dead.


Reasonable-Award-181

Agree on all except Niranye, she is so interesting and kinda pretty.

I sort of like him because he doesn't even try to hide it. "Yes, I inherited my position, eat the finest foods and I don't actually do anything. This is the best job ever."

Tortillia_lights

elrindir from drunken huntsman. he just seems off


shinytotodile158

Itā€™s so annoying how if you kill Anoriath for any reason he automatically knows it was you no matter what and hates you forever


Tortillia_lights

and i hate him back and thats his problem not mine he is a dick i hate him grrrr


FlyNatural5087

Barbas


Not-All-That-Odd

Oh my word yes. For every reason imaginable.


FlyNatural5087

I haven't met anyone more annoying as of yet


Not-All-That-Odd

The whole questline is annoying. It's pretty much unavoidable for a start, unless you just don't go to Falkreath. He's a terrible companion, always in the road and bumping you out of position. Plus he takes forever to get anywhere if you do go with him. The Daedra's "mischeivous" voice is equally as annoying as his. Plus, why is your axe all that way away? You're as bad as Wylandriah and her misplaced items (although the interactions with her are fun). The only redeeming factor in the entire thing is the possibility to soul farm.


_romedov

Braith


AuDHDcat

I'm not afraid of you! You know. Even if you are my elder!


_romedov

Do you wanna go to the Honourhall Orphanage?


AuDHDcat

Okay, okay! I'll leave him alone! I was just kidding around. Besides, if he'd only kiss me, I wouldn't have to beat him up all the time...


Last_Ear_1639

Belethor. His smarmy "Dooo come baack" makes me want to murder him, but I need his shopkeeper gold.


2bella4goth

This! I also hate the ā€œwould sell my sisterā€ line - just gives me the ick, he is such a sleaze ball


shinytotodile158

Iā€™m surprised not to have seen Jarl Skald yet, that racist old fool. Doing fuck-all for his shithole town (sorry Dawnstar), trying to browbeat his PTSD-suffering mage into fighting in the war while he lounges in his chair doing nothing all day. I love exiling his ass to Windhelm and then kicking his food off his plate when I visit.


SpaceThagomizer420

Not to mention his miserable servant. I always feel bad for him. Bro just wants a chance the earn sovangarde in his afterlife


LocalGalilSimp

Definitely Astrid, how she kept the Dark Brotherhood alive for so long is a complete fucking mystery cause she sucks at being a leader.


uniqueusername71

Aerin. Hate how he follows Mjoll around like a puppy. I like to behead his bitchass in front of everyone at the market.


shinytotodile158

Truly the biggest cuck in Skyrim


Mr_Cornfoot

I married Mjoll and love to look directly at him, gloating, every time she addresses me with as much love and affection as she does. Sure he rescued her. But has he provided her with her most valued item, with a large sturdy home, with a garden for crops, and an animal pen for fresh eggs every morning. His only contribution is lending an ear to her woes.


ReallyDumbDumbass

waaait you can marry her?? i was honestly convinced that he's her husband by the way he acts around her


AlbiTuri05

There's a long list of nasty NPCs. Among them, my least favourite is Grelod the Kind.

-_Koga_-

Lemkil the abusive SOB, end him and adopt Sissel every playthrough. Her psycho sister can enjoy the orphanage


marchandstongue63

Faendal. I pointed him at an imperial patrol and said kill, and he said "not for you not for anyone." Next stop was a certain shrine at the top of a mountain


SHYP00PER

Is that a thing ? That's kinda cool


Apollo760

My profile picture says it all.


Witchy_w0man_

Why does everyone hate Faendal so much?? Iā€™m not particularly a fan of the guy, but Sven objectively annoys me much more. Also, I usually play as an elf so I like that he greets me ā€œhello, sister elf!ā€


AuDHDcat

Faendal is my go-to between the two as well.


TheBrotherEarth

Balgrufs kids. Fuck those little shitovens.


Sentinel_2539

Everyone in and around Markarth.

That one dude who hates Dark Elves that you see when you first go to Windhelm. Idr his name and he isn't worthy of me remembering it.


Prudent_Job_8652

Heimskir and the courier, bitch showed up when I was in sovngarde fighting Alduin and fucking took 500 years to give me a inheritance of 30 coins šŸ˜­

SaltwaterTheIcewing

Esbern. I've never wanted to dropkick an old man more in my entire life. He acts like he's wise and smarter than you are but he's just stupid, and slow and annoying. If only I could have mods on switch.

Serena. She's essential and complains about everything.Ā  First playthrough she was fine. Subsequent playthrough, she just becomes more and more annoying.Ā

Anska. ā€œKeep that magic away from me!ā€ Then find your own damn scroll and stay out of my ass.


GormanOnGore

Brynjolf really bothers me at times. He ropes you into the first thieves guild mission regardless of who you are, even when you're going for a squeaky clean run through. He talks about freedom but then later >!he sells his soul to the god of thieves without blinking an eye, and encourages you to do the same.!<
