NPC Thread

Let's talk about the NPCs of Skyrim and our experiences with them, both good and bad. If you want to bring up an NPC from a mod, please link us to the mod in your post for people who don't have the mod. Remember, followers are also [Non-Playable Characters].

I'll start with M'aiq the Liar. His ubiquitous nature is starting to grow on me after having initially ignored him. His references to many of the game's features are pretty funny and I just can't get enough of him even though he shoo's me away after a few lines of dialogue. I really wish there were more NPCs like M'aiq.

I think most people like M'aiq and you never know where you will run into him. I really like Karliah. Would have liked to have seen more of her after completing the quests.

I've never encountered Karliah since never go through the Thirve's Guild in any of my playthroughs.

vilja
Vilja interacts with many of the vanilla followers on various levels, from basic to quite advanced. For the best experience, I suggest that you go exploring with Vilja and either Lydia, Aela, Farkas, Argis, J'zargo, Jenassa, Jordis, Brelyna or Marcurio and you will soon find that Vilja not only interacts with them - they will reply, and sometimes they will be involved in quite lenghty discussions. Similar but more generic interaction will happen also with Faelyn, Iona, Ria, Kharjo, Areana, Rayya, Benor, Stenvar, Ahtar, Illia, Uthgerd, Adelaisa and Anneke Crag-Jumper, and with all modder-made companions that are using one of the following vanilla-voicetypes: Female Eventoned, Female Commander, Female Darkelf, Female YoungEager, Male Brute, Male Eventoned, Male Khajiit. With some other popular followers, Vilja has simple interaction, i.e. Vilja will know that they are there and sometimes comment on them, but they will not respond and there will be no discussions between them. These followers are Mjoll, Erik the Slayer and Calder. Interaction with other followers, hopefully also custom-voiced, will be expanded in future versions.
