Looking for ideas for funny dialogues (follower)

[Hildigard]

Hello everyone!

I'm making a mod, quite large. Three fully voiced followers included.

I'm not native english speaker, so I need your helping hand

 

Do you have any ideas for funny dialogues?

 

The most important are:

- Idle misc dialogues (played when actor is idle)

- Hello misc dialogues (when actor approaches npc)

- Goodbye misc dialogues (when actor exits dialogue)

- Combat dialogues (Ha! Roar! Die! e.g.)

 

About characters, there are three:

- One tall and dumb, soft-hearted and muscled Nord

- One normal guy, bard, brother of the previous one, Nord

- One cold-blooded serial killer, Khajiit. Psycho who loves killing

 

It doesn't have to be long verses, even few very short would be nice!

 

Down below you have some dialogue events from CK (misc and combat)

 

Thanks and may Talos guide you!

well , it would help to get a better overview of the characters you are going for

as an example , the bard follower

is it going to be a successful bard? or someone with no real musical flare? (like the orc bard in the vanilla game)

is he going to be a flatterer or maybe making a mockery of you? (think of the bard with Sir Robin in Monty Python's Quest For The Holy Grail , as an example)

 

if you can really characterize the personalities you want these followers to have , it will greatly help us help you with this
