Have you ever been strolling through your favorite game and then heard an NPC something that just made you laugh because it was outrageous or made you think WTF? I've got two and they both actually happened about an hour while playing Oblivion, within 5 minutes of each other.
First one: I was in the Imperial City trying to find the apothecary shop and I passed by the Courier stand. I heard a woman say "I'm glad we have the Black Horse Courier, I don't know how we'd get the news without it." To which a guard replied, "Just listen to people talk. It's uncanny how well informed everyone is." That is interesting, Mr Guard, how you seem to know the instant I do anything you dislike.
Second one, walked into the magic shop in Skingrad and during my talk with the Dark Elf woman who ran the shop, she all of a sudden asked me how bad the fine for Necrophilia is. I asked if it was a first offense. She said, "Let's assume no." I somehow knew it was 500 gold and she informs me that's nowhere near as bad as in Morrowind.
What about you, Escapists? Any interesting conversations overheard from NPCs?
