Poll: Most annoying guards in TES

[Andrew Vandersteen]

What do you think is the most annoying guard quote from either Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim?

 

[Scrustle]

I never had problems with what guards said... But I hated Ordinators in Vivec because I WANTED THEIR ARMOUR SO BAAADDDD

You can get the armour of the Ordinators in Tribunal though, right? That's almost the same. I think it looks better in fact.

OT: None of them really annoyed me but I didn't much appreciate being called "scum" in Morrowind when all I was doing was walking around minding my own business.

There was a meme about one of the guardsmen saying "Stop,you violated the law!"Was that in TES or another game? If not probably Morrowind's.

Skyrim ones are friendly most of the time. I've had a few insults thrown my way from them, but they're m... "Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?"

Oblivion guards have wallhack capabilities and will catch you stealing every single oblivioning time.

Daggerfall's "Halt!" "Halt" "Ha-halt" "Hal-ha-ha-lt-lt" "Halt" "Ha-halthalthalt-hal-ha-lt-lt" "Halt" "Halt" "ha-ha-ha-lt-lt-lt-halthalthalt" ........ "Halt".

But out the the 'trilogy', I'd say Oblivion's were the most annoying. Morrowind's guards were appropriately rough and Skyrim is in the middle of chaos, so it is amazing they are as friendly and tolerable as they are.

At least "Stop, criminal Scum!" works in context.

The only way Skyrim's guards make sense is if the holds of Skyrim faced a shortage of guards and started up an employment program reaching out to former adventurers disabled by knee injuries.

 

[Kiefer13]

Skyrim's definitely. At least in Morrowind and Oblivion it makes sense. The entire guard of every hold in Skyrim being made up of former adventurers with arrow-induced knee injuries on the other hand seems pretty unlikely.

I, for one, love the shit out of ordinators. They have a backstory. Their presence in Vivec makes sense. They hate you if you're imperial cult and adore you if you're temple archcanon. And on top of all that, they've got the coolest looking armor in the game, bar none. My vote goes to the crippled nords as being the most annoying.
