Ambient dialogue is spoken by NPCs as you pass by them, usually at random and without prompt. The line determining what the NPC will say is dependent on the voice actor and often race, rather than the character itself, and may not even be relevant to the NPC's characterization (For example, Vanus Galerion may say "Lady Estre was our true Queen! Damn you for killing her!" because he is an Altmer, despite his own principles being rather different). Ambient dialogue is not subtitled, though the text for it is found in the files. There are various types of dialogue listed on this page.

Greetings[edit]

Greetings are said by NPCs without prerequisites and are directed at you, and can be said when you pass by an NPC or when you prompt them to speak. NPCs who do not have unique conversations will often say generic greetings instead.

Maormer[edit]

Maormer have their own overheard dialogue. This dialogue is common at the Maormer Embassy on Khenarthi's Roost.

"How much longer till we put out to sea?"
"When the storm comes, they'll get theirs."
"Everything is so … still."

When you pass by them, they may say:

"Watch your step, groundwalker."
"Don't cause trouble."
"Another one?"

Kothringi[edit]

The Kothringi citizens of Stillrise Village are miserable.

"Fortune doesn't favor the Kothringi."
"We've lost so much already …."
"Better to suffer in silence."
"Leave us be."
"No hope for our people …. no hope!"
"We must survive. This cannot be our fate."
"Outsiders bring strife. I wonder what you bring?"
"I want no trouble."

Justice[edit]

Justice dialogue is associated with actions that warrant a bounty. There's dialogue for assault, trespassing, murder, theft, getting caught pickpocketing, transforming into a werewolf in public and feeding on an NPC's blood in public as a vampire. There is also dialogue for NPCs expressing suspicion towards a player sneaking while detected, trying to speak to a justice neutral character/merchant with high infamy, and NPCs noticing that their pockets have been picked clean. Each race has a variety of dialogue with which they respond to illegal or suspicious actions.

→ For a full list, see Online:Justice Dialogue

Dragons[edit]

Dragon sighting dialogue usually occurs during events such as Dragon Rise and Rise of the Dragonguard, when dragons are set to fly over major base-game cities. When justice neutral NPCs see a Dragon, they will run away screaming. This dialogue is different for every race.

Commentary[edit]

Commentary (or alternatively, rumors) is said when you come close to an NPC, and they say dialogue directed at you. Often times it is dialogue relating to quests you have completed, with NPCs telling you their thoughts on what they've heard of your actions. The Scholars and Adepts on Eyevea after The Mad God's Bargain also have ambient dialogue based on their race.

It should be noted that Imperial NPCs can say Breton and Redguard lines.

Argonians[edit]

Many Argonian lines are involved with the Ebonheart Pact zones' storylines.

Usually it is said by generic soldiers of factions who are hostile. Some might be said by beast races, such as goblins or giants, and is often listed incoherent gibberish.
