The following is a list of generic dialogue and rumors, meaning that none of the following lines are specific to any individual NPC.
GeneralEdit
- "We're all talking about the emperor's murder. We have no emperor. And no heir. That's never happened before. I suppose we should all be worried."
- "Have you ever met anyone who got rich betting on the Arena? Didn't think so."
- "The Arena's faked. You think those guys are getting killed? Really? It's just berry syrup and ham-acting."
- "The Council runs the Arena to amuse the masses, and it pays for itself, with all the fools who lose their shirts gambling."
- "Is there anywhere in Tamriel you can avoid rats? Disease spreading little nuisances."
- "Wayshrines of Arkay confer blessings of Health on those who've pleased the Nine by righteous acts."
- "The Imperial City is densely urbanized, with a few large parks and waterside dock areas."
- "There's islands in Niben Bay no one has visited in a hundred years. No telling what you'll find."
- "I understand the Fighters Guild is hiring new members. Not bad work for some folks."
- "They say that when you murder someone, the Dark Brotherhood comes to you in your sleep. It's how they recruit new members."
- "I might swim more if it weren't for the slaughterfish. Sharp teeth, and some carry disease."
- "Best way to take out a skeleton is with a big weapon. Forget spells. Just smack them and watch the bones fly!"
- "I don't even know what a will-o-the-wisp is, much less how to kill one. I think they're just swamp gas, myself."
- "I don't like to think about zombies. Missing arms, legs, heads. They smell awful, and they're hard to kill."
- "You can find Cairn Bolete growing in caves. They're said to mark the place someone has died."
- "If you're on a road, you can usually outrun anything. If you're in good shape, and not wearing a tin suit."

- "If you've done good deeds, the Nine will bless you and cure diseases when you visit their wayshrines."
- "Ancient Wayshrines of the Nine are scattered through the wilderness. The righteous who pray there receive powerful divine blessings."
- "Waysrhines of the Nine in the wilderness confer blessings on the righteous and faithful."
- "The legions patrol the roads, and they've always been sufficient. I can't imagine we'll ever be at war with the provinces… not in my lifetime."
- "The Mages Guild runs more or less like it always did, but we lost quite a few members when the practice of Necromancy was banned."
- "Not only has Necromancy been banned in the Mages Guild, but the Guild won't deal with anyone who openly uses it."
- "Half of the Council of Mages resigned when Traven took over the position of Arch-Mage."
- "Things in the guild have been different since Traven was named Arch-Mage. They're more structured, but everyone seems tense."
- "The Mages Guild has made more than a few enemies since Necromancy was banned."
- "I don't know what Arch-Mage Traven has against Necromancy, but the first thing he did after taking over the Mages Guild was to ban its practice."
- "Arch-Mage Traven is the first to take such a hard stance on Necromancy. It upset more than a few people."
- "Some say that Traven is misusing the power of the Arch-Mage's position to further his personal agendas."
- "The Gray Fox sounds like a dangerous thief."
- "I think we're all in for some hard times. The death of Uriel Septim and his heirs changes everything."
- "The Emperor and his three sons, dead, right under the noses of the Imperial Guard. It's a disgrace."
- "My favorite town? Anvil. Lovely old stone buildings, and the harbor at sunset is beautiful."
- "No one wants to live in the Jerall Mountains. Well, maybe in Bruma, but they're like Nords. They don't feel the cold."
- "The people of Nibenay consider themselves to be more civilized and sophisticated than Colovians."
- "I'm not saying Colovians are dumb. They're just hard-headed."
- "The Colovians are proud of their reputation for being independent, rough, and rebellious."
- "In the west, in Old Colovia, that's where men are men. That's the Gold Coast, West Weald, and Colovian Highlands."
- "It's still pretty wild east of the Niben. Few people, except for bandits, but at least it hasn't been picked clean by treasure-hunters."
- "Blackwood isn't so bad, once you get used to the flies. And being lost all the time. And the zombies and will-o-the-wisps."
- "Nobody goes into the mountains but hunters and thieves on the lam. Food and shelter is hard to come by."

- "On Cyrodiil's northern border is the sparsely populated mountainous wilderness called the Valus Mountains."
- "High mountain ranges rise to the borders in the north and east, and marshes and rainforests extend to the southeast borders."
- "It's our natural barriers that keep us safe, mostly. Mountain borders north and east, open sea to the west, and bogs and rainforest to south."
- "Western Cyrodiil is called 'Colovia,' and includes the Gold Coast, West Weald, and Colovian Highlands regions."

- "I don't like you and don't want to talk to you."
Tamriel Gate ResponsesEdit
- "I have heard things are bad in Vvardenfell. The Telvanni do their best to close the gates, but it is to no avail."
- "I hear all of Skyrim is under siege. The daedra lay waste to the Old Holds, and there is little to do to stop it."
- "It seems it is a dire situation throughout all of Tamriel."
- "I've heard nothing good. In Morrowind, they say the man-god Vivec has gone missing. Some believe he has been taken by the daedra."
- "Many are dead in the land of the Dunmer. Even St. Jiub, who drove the cliffracers from Vvardenfell, has fallen to the daedra hordes."
- "Nothing I'd like to talk about."
- "The news has not been good. I've heard it said that the daedra have overrun the town of Ald'ruhn. The entire town has been destroyed."
- "There are foul tidings from Skyrim. The Greybeards speak of the end of all times."
- "There is grave news from Skyrim. From Falkreath to Windhelm, the foul daedra attack the land."

- "This is unbelievable. How can the gods let this happen?"
ChorrolEdit

- "I could be wrong, but it seems to me there's something shady going on at the Oak and Crosier."
- "It's good to know we've got such a strong Fighters Guild presence here in town."
- "That Modryn Oreyn has got no sense of humor. Hell of a warrior, though. No wonder he's done so well in the Fighters Guild."
- "I just feel safe living here in Chorrol. I mean, we have the head of the Fighters Guild right here in town!"
- "Hard to complain about living in Chorrol. We've got everything you need."
- "I'm thinking of heading over to Renoit's to buy some books. There's quite a selection."
- "I saw Valus Odiil at the Grey Mare again today. Hasn't been the same since his boys took off."
- "Have you seen Valus Odiil recently? Spends all day in the tavern since his boys left."
- "Did you hear that Dar-Ma has disappeared?"
- "I had a very pleasant visit with Arriana Valga recently. The castle was very comfortable, and her new guard captain seems to be working out well."
- "Francois Motierre hasn't left his house in days. Hasn't come down to the tavern, refuses to have visitors. I think the man's gone batty."
- "I found some good pauldrons at the armorer."
- "Have you seen that poor man staying in the Chapel Hall? I heard he's under some sort of curse."
Post-A Shadow Over HackdirtEdit
If Dar-Ma died:
- "Did you hear the bad news? Dar-Ma's [sic] daughter was killed by some strange cultists down in Hackdirt. Terrible, terrible times we live in."
if Dar-Ma lived:
- "Did you hear that Dar-Ma came back, safe and sound? You know, Seed-Neeus's daughter, the Argonians."'
- "I heard some nice fellow found her held prisoner in some cave, and rescued her. What a romantic story!"
Post-Canvas the CastleEdit
If the painting was returned to the Countess:
- "The Countess seems much happier now that the item that was stolen from her was returned."
If the painting wasn't returned:
- "The Countess still seems quite sad. I hear someone tried to find the item stolen from the castle, but they had no luck. Oh well."
Post-The Assassinated ManEdit
- "You won't believe what's happened! Francois Motierre has been killed! Murdered by the Dark Brotherhood! It's true, I saw the body myself."
- "I heard the most disturbing rumor. Someone told me Francois Motierre has been murdered by the Dark Brotherhood! It's not… It's not true, is it?"
