Unintelligible/funny/etc Oblivion Sounds

[TheMastersSon]

More than a few in this game. After 10+ years I still have no idea what "Die! Der!" is even supposed to mean. Not to mention "Sugar and sand" and quite a few others. If you play long enough you'll even run into a guard (in or near the IC, don't recall where exactly) who invites another guard to his place later, to "show him his new greaves". It made me do a WTF and laugh but I've never heard the same line repeated again.

 

Would love hearing other examples and explanations etc from fellow Oblivion players.

The correct line for that first bit is "Die, cur!", cur being an old word for scumbag/scallywag/dog etc, it's just an insult.

Sugar and sand is a Khajiit greeting, no? Sugar refers to moon sugar and the sands of Elsweyr, both important parts of their culture.

I must admit I have never heard that line about the greaves before though, strange!

Oblivion sure is weird.

Thanks for the info. I never would have guessed either of those answers.

BTW after looking up the greaves quote I got it slightly wrong, it's actually "Don't forget to stop by the barracks later. I'll show you those new greaves. The mithril ones..." :smile:

Also discovered the file is located in Voices2.bsa and named nqdguard_goodbye_0006fdcb_1.mp3

Here's another one that made me laugh, but it also makes you wonder if Oblivion had any QA testing at all:

IMO her first try was better. :)

I recommend Idle Dialogues

 

These lines are all in the original, but were never implemented, so the mod puts them back. Here's a few...

 

'Do I drop the sweetroll or hand it over and come back later? Dunno....'

'It just stood there, holding its tail and whispering. What did it say?'

'Goblins and rats. Seems like they're everywhere. I'm just waiting for the giant spiders to show up.'

 

Plenty more of them, too,

I heard these monologues in Morrowind.

 

I love the noises the dremoras make when I hit them and they're dying.
