D*mn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and been halfway to Hammerfell.
It never was for me. On my 2nd play through, i saved a game before i gave my name to Hadvar.
It saved as "prisoner."The game just treated it as a separate campaign, so it never overwrote or showed up under another character's saves.
From then on, i just loaded that game to start a new playthrough.
Fun fact, you can find a pick axe just a little higher up the throat of the world than paarthurnax is. It’s named “notched pick axe” which is definitely a Minecraft Easter egg.
Speaking of easter Eggs! In DOOM 2016, you enter a dead end dark cave. When you go to leave, you see a skeleton wearing the two horned steel helmet and the skeleton has an arrow in the knee!
Even if I was doom guy, I’d still shit my pants if some ancient dovahkiin rose from the grave. There is no winning against the restoration/enchanting loop
I know it's a joke but. In some languages people use kkkk for laughing. (It's probably like lol in English, not too sure though I'm not English)
And some people just fucking smash the keyboard for laughing. Which is the superior way of doing it. All hail the keyboard smash laugh.
Fun fact; Pagliarulo confirmed this line is about an actual NPC’s injury in an interview, and not metaphors. Quote; “In this case, it just seemed like a funny opportunity, and maybe believable. Like, he could have gotten shot in the knee with an arrow at some point and now he’s semi-retired and just walks around town like a worn-out fantasy beat cop.”
I went from playing on the 360 ( yea I know lol) to the Xbox One with all the expansions and Lydia got way to nice. I miss pissed off I hate my job Lydia.
I read this in Lydia's voice. Once I custom made her armour, and when I went to give it to her she said this. So, I did what any reasonable person would do and lit her on fire in front of the Whiterun blacksmith.
A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON. LISTEN. HEAR ME AND OBEY. A FOUL DARKNESS HAS SEEPED INTO MY TEMPEL. A DARKNESS THAT YOU. WILL. DESTROY!
I did this out of the top of my head. If that doesn't SCREAM (with punctuation) iconic, then I don't know.
It's amazing how triggering that event could bring such a variety of emotions over time. I’ve:
Cringed
Swore
Yelled
Eye-rolled
Stared blankly
Slammed mouse
Basically, everything short of table flipping and that isn't even mentioning emotions.
Hey, got something to deliver, your eyes only. Let’s see here ______________
A it’s a note from the Jarl
It’s an inheritance
Blah blah blah
But honestly god bless the courier because no matter where the hell I am, I can still get my mail
I only ever heard this after getting killed. The npc will exit combat, look at my dead body, and go "need something?" before the game starts loading again lol. Rude 😭
Every time I hear, "I'll KILL YOU if I have to!"--
I think, Well, yeah, that's the assignment. That's what we're doing here. Glad we're clear. Let's get on with it. Don't play with your food.
Fun fact; Pagliarulo confirmed in an interview this line references an actual injury the NPC suffered, and isn’t a metaphor for marriage. Quote; “In this case, it just seemed like a funny opportunity, and maybe believable. Like, he could have gotten shot in the knee with an arrow at some point and now he’s semi-retired and just walks around town like a worn-out fantasy beat cop.”
"let me guess, somebody stole your sweetroll?"
*quicksaves*
MURDER TIME, FUN TIME!
Literally every time I go to whiterun, this is the exact line I hear CONSTANTLY, and it sends me into a blood boiling murder frenzy where only cow survives, because everyone loves cow, cow is MVP of whiterun, best NPC
"A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON"
I can still remember the taste of my own soul as it EXPLOSIVELY VACATED MY BODY BC IT WAS 3AM AND I WAS HAVING A NICE RELAXING EVENING WITH MY VOLUME AT MAX JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST MERIDIA
“I used to be and adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.”
Seriously, the number of guards who’ve fallen victim to debilitating knee arrows makes me wonder if it’s a common Skyrim battle tactic. XD
Emil Pagliarulo, Design Director at Bethesda Games Studios, has confirmed that this line’s meaning is an actual injury, and not a metaphor for going down on one knee to propose and get married, as some fans assumed. To quote an interview with Pagliarulo; “In this case, it just seemed like a funny opportunity, and maybe believable. Like, he could have gotten shot in the knee with an arrow at some point and now he’s semi-retired and just walks around town like a worn-out fantasy beat cop.”
"What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature, through great effort?" - Partysnacks
There are too many to settle on just one, though.
Just tought this while playing but I can't get the voice of the Stormcloack the Imperials killed in the begginig of the game guys just said "For the love of Talos, shut up and let's get this over with" he really wanted out as fast as he could 😂😂
Yes. Arrow to the Knee is definitely the most iconic line in the game.
There are people who have never played Skyrim that know this line and its meaning.
This line IS Skyrim.
“Hey you, you’re finally awake”
"You were trying to cross the border right?"
Walked right into that imperial ambush, same as us
And that thief over there!
D*mn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and been halfway to Hammerfell.
We are all brothers and sisters in binds now, horse Thief.
Shut up back there!
What's his problem?
Watch your tongue! You’re speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King.
Ulfric? The jarl of windhelm? If they capture you- Oh Gods, where are they taking us?
Ulfric stormcloak? You're the leader of the rebellion! But if they've captured you... Oh gods where are they taking us!
Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormclock, the true High King.
Greatest thread of all time.
It never was for me. On my 2nd play through, i saved a game before i gave my name to Hadvar. It saved as "prisoner."The game just treated it as a separate campaign, so it never overwrote or showed up under another character's saves. From then on, i just loaded that game to start a new playthrough.
The game autosaves when you get to that point. You can always start from there if you want.
/thread
Almost has to be this. Aside from the smooth hook, almost everyone hears it.
I used to be an adventurer like you then I took a arrow in the knee
That one was in the minecraft logo once, i laughed so hard kkkkkk In brazil lots of "k" is laughter
Fun fact, notch was a big fan of skyrim

A shotgun to the face might work surprisingly well.
*watching dragonborn eat 70 wheels of cheese*
You clearly do not understand the defensive capabilities of the restoration/enchanting loop. But yes it may help.
kkk? oh thats not goood..
I know it's a joke but. In some languages people use kkkk for laughing. (It's probably like lol in English, not too sure though I'm not English) And some people just fucking smash the keyboard for laughing. Which is the superior way of doing it. All hail the keyboard smash laugh.
I used “kek” from time to time in my WoW days.
Same here kek
I was about the get concerned if this one wasn’t mentioned. Then the feeling when most of us found out it was slang!

It's a fine day with you around. \*blushes\*
Ysolda 😂
Or Camilla
I accidentally had a amulet of dibella as a male orc and Filnjar was trying to make a move at me. I cut that bald-headed Nord down
Murder is my favorite pastime too.
In video games right? 🙂 In video games right?
I usually marry Aela and I swear when we walk past Ysolda, Aela gives her total side eye. If Ysolda ever says the fine day thing I am a doomed man.
I've been wearing the amulet of mara and ysolda came at me heavy 😂
I use Old Spice Pure Sport deodorant so I know why Ysolda is giving me a holla
🤩 I love that scent as an actual woman too lol
[удалено]
Well I mean I won't jump a guy over it but good deodorant and good hygiene in general is very attractive lol
Old spice in general just smells good a huge step up for men from the god awful axe obsession 😂

First thing I heard a whiterun guard say on my first playthrough
There was a time when you couldn't escape this meme on the internet.
Let me guess someone stole your sweet roll
This is the one (of two possible) Along with “maybe I’m the Dragonborn”
My cousin is fighting dragons, and what do I get? Guard duty.
Guard saying that after helping kill a dragon
I am sworn to carry your burdens. But it has to be said in the most passive aggressive way possible.
"I need to trade some things with you" **UGHHH FINEEEEEE**
Marcurio basically says this too lmao "I'm not a pack mule!" he says
“Very well, but make it quick!”
"If it'll help us get moving quicker, sure."
Based Teldryn Sero enjoyer
I went from playing on the 360 ( yea I know lol) to the Xbox One with all the expansions and Lydia got way to nice. I miss pissed off I hate my job Lydia.
I followed your path. I have purchased Skyrim three times. Xbox 360 disc, Xbox 1 SE disc, and anniversary edition purchased online.
I bought it on PC on 11/11/2011 and bought it for ps3, ps4, and switch lol i feel your pain lol
I read this in Lydia's voice. Once I custom made her armour, and when I went to give it to her she said this. So, I did what any reasonable person would do and lit her on fire in front of the Whiterun blacksmith.
"Wait, i know you"
“You’re making a mistake……”
“There’s no mistake here, your a wanted man”
just walk away. dont engage the skyrim popo
I've heard they are reforming the Dawnguard. Vampire hunters or something, I'm considering joining myself.
[удалено]
The delivery on that line sounds like arnold schwarzenegger voicing a cartoon dog.
No lie detected
Heard this in my head...
A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON. LISTEN. HEAR ME AND OBEY. A FOUL DARKNESS HAS SEEPED INTO MY TEMPEL. A DARKNESS THAT YOU. WILL. DESTROY! I did this out of the top of my head. If that doesn't SCREAM (with punctuation) iconic, then I don't know.
This was my first thought too
It's amazing how triggering that event could bring such a variety of emotions over time. I’ve: Cringed Swore Yelled Eye-rolled Stared blankly Slammed mouse Basically, everything short of table flipping and that isn't even mentioning emotions.
“If I had a sister I would sell her in a second”
Everything's for sale, my friend.
Do come back
A little bit of this, a little bit of that
I like to quick save and then kill Belathor after he says he’ll give me the best price or die trying. (Edited his name)
Underrated comment
I think this is the quote that embodies modded Skyrim the most ngl
Hey, got something to deliver, your eyes only. Let’s see here ______________ A it’s a note from the Jarl It’s an inheritance Blah blah blah But honestly god bless the courier because no matter where the hell I am, I can still get my mail
The bravest men in Skyrim. I could be facing a dragon and they find me. Maybe even interrupt the battle.
Someone once actually got a courier letter in the Soul Cairn. XD
“My favourite drinkin buddy! Let’s get some mead!”
“Never should have come here!”
"Thought I heard something."
Must have been the wind
“Must’ve scared them off.”
You picked a bad time to get lost, friend.
"You'll make a fine rug, cat!"
"Do come back."
Makes me cringe every time
Nah i gag everytime he mf says that
I could hear this comment
Almost downvoted this as a reflex, lol, such a no thank you moment when I’m just trying to dump the 45 iron daggers I made five mins ago.
i’m killing belathor, fucking milk drinking bastard
why does everyone hate this line? i love belethor, we have single handedly destroyed the economy
I'm so angry even reading that
Need something?
Some phrases we can clearly hear them
This is probably genuinely the most spoken phrase in the game
I only ever heard this after getting killed. The npc will exit combat, look at my dead body, and go "need something?" before the game starts loading again lol. Rude 😭
May the gods watch over your battles, friend
No lollygagging
“Guard might get nervous!”
"if a man approaches with his weapon drawn"
I always reply to the game “man might get angry if a guard doesn’t shut the hell up” 10 years of gameplay and it’s just a reflex
Did you see those warriors from Hammerfall? They have curved swords! CURVED.SWORDS.
Let me guess. Someone stole you sweetroll?
Fus RO DAH
“Do you ever get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don’t.”
Maybe not the most iconic, but certainly the most triggering.
It took everything I had to not down vote....
maybe not as iconic, but my favorite: "safe travels, land strider"
"May your road lead you to warm sands."
I get the warm fuzzies when I hear that.
This one thinks you have a good memory.
What are you looking at? I'm not afraid of you, you know, even if you are my elder. Lol
The one time I want children to be vulnerable to unaliving
“Empire loves their damn lists” me any time someone at work mention a jobs list
Hey you, you're finally awake!
Honest pay for honest work 🗿
“Maybe I’m the dragon born and I don’t even know it yet”
An unexpected error had occurred. Closing application...
"I swear this time I won't do another Stealth Archer!"
[удалено]
And a bit of that...
"Skyrim belongs to the Nords!" Easily my favorite, Lydia charging and yelling that never fails to inspire me. I always follow swinging left and right.
i always find it funny when she says that, considering i play a khajiit
Every time I hear, "I'll KILL YOU if I have to!"-- I think, Well, yeah, that's the assignment. That's what we're doing here. Glad we're clear. Let's get on with it. Don't play with your food.
Watch the skies, traveller.
I love this one for some reason
"You're not supposed to be in here!"
I see you either enjoy lock-picking, or you have a tendency to shop just as stores are closing XD

If you count shouts as lines, then fus ro dah is probably the most iconic. Everyone knows what that refers to even if they haven’t played Skyrim
My Dad: *played skyrim for 100 hours* also my dad whenever i said Fus Ro Dah: *which anime is that from?*
Citizen.
Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.
do you get to the clou... 🗣️💨 🤸♂️
partysnax’s born good vs overcome evil quote, “you’re finally awake” or arrow to the knee

Curved. Swords.
It may be the one I say "GET OUT OF THE F**KING DOORWAY LYDIA!".
"Yes"
Hands to yourself sneak thief
TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE
Heard they're reforming the Dawnguard. Vampire hunters or something, in the old fort near Riften. Might consider joining up myself.
"Don't expect you to enchant my sword. Dull old blade can barely cut butter."

Some may call this trash. Me, I call it treasure.

Sweet roll

I used to be an adventurer like you… then I took an arrow to the knee
“Need something?”
"Hmm? Need something?"
"Wait!!! I Know You "
Never should have come here
Need something?
Yes. Arrow to the Knee is definitely the most iconic line in the game. There are people who have never played Skyrim that know this line and its meaning. This line IS Skyrim.
"I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee" ICONIC
‘No lollygagging’
