Who's your favorite (non-dragon) NPC?

[Ivory]

It doesn't have to be a follower either, even a generic one like the guards or a lowly bandit/enemy/innkeeper.

One of mine has to be the Innkeeper in Winterhold. Despite the hatred most of the people give, he's always kind to mages, including Nelecar who he lets live there. The dialogue between the two is hilarious sometimes and it always cheers me up in the cold land of Winterhold.

How about you?

 

[DestroyerDevourMaster]

Hmmm, I'd have to say my favorite npc is Cicero, just because of how hilariously insane he is. "And then he says to the man, that's not a horker, that's my wife! Ha ha ha ha... Ah... I love that one..."

 

[DarkEastwood]

Legate Rikke. She's got tons of bravery, seems intelligent, can obviously fight well, and is part of the Legion (a plus in my eyes).

 

[elias]

Heimskr, I love his sermons.

 

[ColleenG]

Master Neloth, by a long shot. I adore him.

 

[Kalin of High Rock]

Mjoll the Lioness. I love her stance against corruption in the most corrupt hold of Skyrim. She's got great courage, and she seems to be the only one able to stand up to Maven Black Briar (who I also really enjoy) and The Thieves' Guild.

I'd use her more as a follower if she wasn't such a chatter-box.

 

[raido KASAI]

Master Neloth, by a long shot. I adore him.

Neloth is a good choice. I'm always amused by just how much of an @ss he can be, but it's funny.

I enjoy having J'zargo around.

 

[ColleenG]

Legate Rikke. She's got tons of bravery, seems intelligent, can obviously fight well, and is part of the Legion (a plus in my eyes).

Not to mention Ulfric begs her repeatedly not to give up her life, he said it wasn't worth it.

 

[Derp]

Cicero

 

[FusRoDovah]

Serana.'Nuff said.

 

[W'rkncacnter]

Can I mention one from a Mod? If so, then Qa'Dojo (a Khajiit) from "Interesting NPCs" is, by far, my favorite. He comments on tons of things as we travel together, often giving cryptic advice in the form of a parable. He's a decent fighter as well.

Out of the vanilla NPCs I would choose Camilla in Whiterun.

 

[imaginepageant]

Ulfric Stormcloak.

Followed by Neloth.

 

[Snake Tortoise]

< M'ai. He doesn't understand what is so impressive about shouting; M'aiq can shout whenever he wants

Also Nurelion at the White Phial. He's so unpleasant he becomes likable for it.

'Why are you still standing around here? Go get me the phial, you fool!'

Then when you return with it he gives you 5 gold

 

[DrunkenMage]

Tullius. No nonsense, direct to the point.

Even during the Dragon attack of Helgen, he was rather direct to my character. Standing in front of him while Alduin is attacking, he'll look at you, then proceed to give his advice. "Run you idiot!"

If you pay close attention to Tullius, his very first order when Alduin appears in Helgan is to protect the towns-folk. He's a good man, and I do like him a lot.

Yes, I have noticed. I use that line quite a bit, when people argue Tullius doesn't care about the citizens.

How he acted under pressure, first order being for the civilians to be taken to safety. Shows what type of leader he is.

 

[FarmGirl]

Ulfric. It might be his voice, I don't know. I ask him stupid questions repeatedly just to hear him talk. Also, he's just cool and I am a rebel at heart.
