What are some of your favorite lines from the game made by NPCs? The reason for starting this threat is because the writers do a whole lot of work to make some of the NPC's come alive and I know that players have some favorite moments from their personal stories. I think this should be a place to share them. I happen to like Trahearne's speech from the vision on Arah.
"Defenders of Tyria! When Zhaitan rose from slumber, the dragon found a long-dead nation and claimed it. The dragon expected the rest of Tyria to be as easily conquered. But we live, and we breathe, and we fight! Together — charr and human, Priory and Vigil, all races and all paths of life; we stand against Zhaitan. The dragon wants us to be afraid because fear will tear us apart. Fear will destroy us! But I tell you this — I am not afraid! I may die, but I will never kneel! Did you feel that? It is the dragon who is afraid! To Arah, and victory!"
— Trahearne, A Light in the Darkness

Canach as Caudecus: "I need at least six reliefs of my face. No, no, bigger. Like eight feet tall. Something that really captures my essence: a catastrophically misguided, swagger-sodden plague sore."
Oh look. I have a signature now.
Taimi's holodisk dialogue during the HoT story line.
First disk
Taimi Hologram: I hope you find this, Commander! We went ahead, following Zojja, Logan, and Trahearne's path.
Taimi Hologram: I can't wait to hear what happened with the egg! We saw a light, and then the city went nuts!
Taimi Hologram: Please remember every minute facet of what happened! I'm going to need to hear it in excruciating detail. For instance, was the—
Taimi Hologram: Uh, okay, Rytlock is signaling me to wrap it up, so...
Taimi Hologram: I have a few of these holo-disks left.
Taimi Hologram: Just follow them south through that cavern and you'll catch up with us in not time! Happy trails!
Second disk
Taimi Hologram: Hi! We're headed that way... Scruffy, are you recording?
Taimi Hologram: Are you sure? Why isn't the light on?
Taimi Hologram: Better erase this one and start over. Just start over.
Player: Hmmm... Not as informative as I would have hoped.
Third disk
Player: Another one of Taimi's messages...
Taimi Hologram: Okay, so we seem to have wandered into a den of vinetooths... Teeth? Tooths or teeth? Anyway, super dangerous!
Taimi Hologram: So, you know, watch your back. We saw some campfires south of here, so we're headed—
Taimi Hologram: Uh-oh! Is that—? Okay, gotta go!
Fifth disk
Taimi Hologram: Still on the trail, but Scruffy's picking up some odd readings over that way.
Taimi Hologram: I'm trying to convince everyone to investigate.
Taimi Hologram: So far my efforts have been unsuccessful. Tribune Killjoy over there, am I right?
Taimi Hologram: Hopefully you killed a vinetooth or two on your way. If so, good job! If not, it's right behind you!
Taimi Hologram: Kidding. Maybe? See you soon.
Lost in the Maguuma (TC)
For the geographically challenged, yes, Tarnished Coast is located IN the Maguuma Jungle.
Guess there's only one great quote.
Commander, a word...
"Joko the inevitable, the last primeval king, Joko the undying, the scourge of vabbi. Joko the feared, Joko the beloved, Joko the eternal monarch of all" -Palawa Joko
"I can outrun a centaur" - the commander
I know, not an NPC, even though that it sometimes feels like playing one.
"I´m not big on sermons nor words, Broken bones teach better lessons and speak for themselves."
I don't remember much except for those two guys near the dungeon armour vendor that are talking about the aerodrome and what it looks like.

THE MEAT SONG
All of the conversations Revenant have with the spirits.
Everything my female human say about her minions as Necro. It took me a while to understand the "No, I hand raised that minion!" then I realized she meant summoning and not actually raising it.
Everything my female Asura say as a Mesmer/Mirage.
"By Ogden's Hammer, what savings!"
"For the Panini!" // NA (USA)/Ehmry Bay/[EBAY]
Main characters: Runa Xandrill--Lvl 80 Female Human Dragonhunter, Passiflora Dionaea--Lvl 80 Female Sylvari Reaper
Logan: You got something to say to me? Say it to my face!
Rytlock: I would if you weren't always running away.

"Commander, a word"
To defeat the dragons, see the good in them.
Zhaitan reunites lost ones, primordus creates fertile land, mordremoth spreads the green, and jormag..
..jormag? Who's that?
Literally everything Scholar Nimmin in Elon Riverlands says. Love that guy.
There are a couple hunters in Queensdale that make a joke about ferocious beasts, and one says "I thought you wife wasn't pregnant anymore" or something along those lines. I can't find the quote but it's golden. Someone find it and post it.
I can't remember who says this (or even if I remember it correctly)
"Sneaky mode engaged"
The barbarian way:
1. If it moves, kill it!
2. If is doesn't move, hit it until it moves and then kill it.
3. If it still doesn't move it must be a rock so smash it!
"It'll be cherry!" - Magister Sieran
I'm surprised Canach never mentioned something about the statues from Joko. Joko statues everywhere.... the ego of that Lich ><
''Have a nice day''
''Is that a threat of a prediction?''
''You break it, I break you''
Some of the best belong to Snarl Backdraft and Galina Edgecrusher
to list a few of the gems
Char PS quest "Test Your Metal" (i hear this in my head everytime i heart a Human role player upset about ascalon)
Galina Edgecrusher: Wake up, ghost-mice of Ascalon! Blood Legion is here to take everything you have—again!
Galina Edgecrusher: Your land and your lives: ours! We will erase you! Tyria will forget your pathetic kingdom ever existed!
Galina Edgecrusher: We defile the bones of your ancestors for sport! Adelbern's grave is our latrine!
Galina Edgecrusher: I hear you sniveling, you glittery clouds of failure! Ha ha ha!
Galina Edgecrusher: That's not thunder, you whimpering little worms! It's cannonfire! Blood Legion cannonfire!
Galina Edgecrusher: Go back to the Mists and stay there! End this humiliation!
Galina Edgecrusher: You're hopeless! Helpless! Worthless! Adelbern's army is a joke...a pathetic, dead joke.
Galina Edgecrusher: No wonder your city fell so easily! No wonder we slaughtered you all and laughed ourselves sick!
Galina Edgecrusher: We're laughing now, Dead-scalonians! You don't like it? Come shut us up!
And who cant forget those gems from "Estate of Decay"
Galina Edgecrusher: What a day! I've always wanted to punch a dragon in the Mouth.
Snarl Backdraft: And now your dream has come—wait. Did you feel that?
or
Galina Edgecrusher: That was no earthquake, that was Zhaitan's roar. Ha! We made a dragon mad enough to throw a tantrum. Must be hungry, the poor little lizard.
Snarl Backdraft: Good. Now he knows we mean business. Nice work on that door, by the way. Who knew your hard head doubled as a battering ram?
Galina Edgecrusher: Careful, Snarl. You keep up with the compliments, and our commanding officers will assign us to permanent duty together.

Demmi Beetlestone: Have you seen my father—Caudecus?
Canach: Brutish man with aggressively unsettling facial hair? Yes.
Canach: He seemed upset that he wasn't on the Krytan throne...to the extent that he was— Is he really your father? I'm so sorry.
Canach: Oh, Minister Beetlestone, you did not disappoint. Why on Tyria do you think he has a painting of Captain Thackeray in here?
Canach: How do you think the conversation with the sculptor went when he ordered these?
Canach: "I need at least six reliefs of my face. No, no, bigger. Like eight feet tall."
Canach, in general, is one of the better written characters and I think the best voice acted character in the game during "head of the snake", before and after that episode he has some great lines but none of them were delivered anywhere near the quality of that episode. Still love his voice work.
Phlunt is the second best voice acted character and his best delivered lines:
Councillor Phlunt: Hello, progeny. And how are we ruining science today?
Taimi: But importantly: mortal danger. You gotta go. A mursaat/not-a-mursaat, on the way...
Councillor Phlunt: Oh, yes! Surely you're telling the truth now! I'm certainly not leaving! No one is! I mean it. Wyndall, put that down.
Lazarus: Ah, Marjory, there you are. I'd grown used to your ever-so-pleasant company.
Councillor Phlunt: Actually, I could use a stretch. Let's go, everyone!
Councillor Phlunt: No one retreats while Phlunt still phights! You can't aurally hear what I did, but it's very clever!
Taimi: He came back? You came back! You DO value me!
Councillor Phlunt: All hands, SAVE MY RESEARCH!
As a whole, I enjoy almost all the voice acting done in the game, but these two voices (and the delivery of these specific lines) were absolutely the best voice acting I've heard in this game.
Whataboutism is disingenuous at best. If you join a debate and provide little to no proof when the other side provides lots of evidence, you can't then declare yourself the winner of that debate. I won't engage with bad faith arguments.
"What part of secret society do you not understand?!"
"Demmi's been kidnapped by pirates! Cool! I mean... interesting."
"And I have a lovely set of... apples."
I'm sure you guys can guess who said those quotes.
Female Asura, drawing weapons/entering battle: "You're dumb. You'll die, and leave a dumb corpse!"
Edit: d-u-m-b is a cuss word?
This is one of my favorites. Canach has the best lines.
"With rock and stones, I'll break your bones."
"Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never be able to injure you!"
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Canach is awesome.
Oh look. I have a signature now.
My favorite early line: (though I am paraphrasing and probably screwing this up.)
Zojja: “Shut your talk-hole, bookah. Every time it opens, you drip stupid all over my floor.”
Canach's comments about Caudecus Beetlestone's proclivities toward Logan Thackaray, and his style of dress and decorating... Canach, in general, is well voiced and has fun lines.
During the LWS3 episode line re: the ' razor of fate swinging'... and the commander's response: 'fate's razor? No, nevermind.' It was well set-up.
Excuse my paraphrasing. None of these are direct quotes.
Rally to me, Ascalonians!
The Charr is here. Brothers and sisters, to arms!
I wish you clear skies.
May Grenth shield you.
May Melandru guide you.
May Kormir enlighten you.
May Balthazar strength you.
May Dwayna bless you.
May Lyssa inspire you.

My favorite non-story ambient NPC chatter is from Snowden Drifts:
Hunter #1: The spring water is a lot warmer here than at home.
Hunter #2: That's because there's a drake in the tunnels below, breathing fire on the rocks.
Hunter #1: Really?
Hunter #2: Sure. There's also a krait catching our fish and a centaur giving rides to the children.
Soul-binding needs to be allowed to die gracefully. It has expired. It is long past it's time to become a footnote in the history of gaming.
Sorry, that's not what I meant. :S I meant everyone loves Canach's quotes. I didn't mean to sound like I was accusing you of hating it. I'm sorry, let me edit my post to clarify.
At Statics Union, Rata Sum:
Godlike!
Ohhhh ok. I see.
I agree; what's not to love about Canach and his awesome sass?
Oh look. I have a signature now.
Exactly! I also love the part in LS2 where he's still under Anise's leash and Canach realizes how good she is at a Memser and says something like: "I wonder if you really are as old as you loo--"
Anise shuts him down before finishing. XD
Wow! That's quality armor. (3+ npcs say "thank you" at the same time)
This is what your curiosity gets you!
nd yeah Canach is a little too cool compared to the other characters.
Never said I'm the best, but I believe I'm better than you.
Forgal, before going into the sewers in Lion's Arch in the personal story: "This place smells worse than a norn ale house on curry night."
"if you're into WvW, then you're actually really into PvE"
-Mo
"You will never leave this place, D'Alessio. Not until you obey!" -Deimos
Deimos: You will die where and when I decide!
Deimos: You will be consumed!
Deimos: Your soul will never rest! Your name will forever be poison on the lips of your people!
Saul D'Alessio: You have no power over me!
Deimos: (demonic laughter)
Saul D'Alessio: "Now i'm free."
Personally loved the Deimos fight, and I hope we get to see more stuff like it in the future.
Keeper Pamir: Remember the old Sunspear saying, Kossan.
Kossan: ' You never fight alone...'
It we really nice to hear the Sunspear motto again. I'm kinda surprised that the actual Sunspear npcs did not say it. (They may have said it, and I probably missed it.)
Do not rush,
But move with a purpose.
Dual- focus Martial arts elite spec please, Anet
"They're all at the tavern. If we can get them drinking and talking, they'll spill the apples."
This one always cracked me up:
Grana Gruzzlemaw--"You must be made of sponges! Oh, wise one.. teach me.. teach me your ways."
Lady Wi--"Tybalt may be a short-sighted nincompoop, but you can trust him."
Tibs--"Thanks, I... think?"
Forgal--"Right, then. Don't worry about 'hello', just skip straight to 'surrender or die'."
"For the Panini!" // NA (USA)/Ehmry Bay/[EBAY]
Main characters: Runa Xandrill--Lvl 80 Female Human Dragonhunter, Passiflora Dionaea--Lvl 80 Female Sylvari Reaper
Male Charr PC, when discovering a new area: “I need some SPACE!”
Mad King Thorn: "I fought an asura warrior the other day, and my shins are KILLING me! (laugh)"
Countess Anise: "The note said that Estelle was in a bandit gambling parlor when she was supposedly spying on our queen. Reminding her of this will be enough to make her drop her lie faster than Faren's dignity."
Also to long to post here, but I really enjoyed the recorded holodiary of Ceara/Scarlet in "Prosperity's mystery" (in Gates of Maguuma, LS2)
Bry: Many a mighty beast has succumbed to my might.
Grismettle: That reminds me. Did I tell you my wife is pregnant?
Bry: How does that remind you of your wife?
There's a video of it here.
"Some of us are more evil than others." - the true charr renegade elite spec, to Gwen.
Old woman Asura: Do you remember the golem uprising of '84?
Old man Asura: Remember it? I spent two weeks hanging by my ears from a signpost!
Old woman Asura: You shouldn't have asked for directions. They hate that.
Some epitaphs are also memorable.
Phlunt is also funny, when he calls Taimi "progeny" and "little degenerate".
I also loved my mentor when he said "Burn me! I'm a human girl! Whoa, I've got two hands and some lovely... apples". That cutscene was hilarious.
These days we always hear "Whoa! You scared me! That's the most hideous mask I ever saw!". "What mask?". But it's always funny.
Trahearne (WELL DONE!), Canach, our character itself (female human/asura, male charr, it doesn't matter that much) they all have wonderful voice actors. I'm in love with this game mostly for the quality of the dubbing (voice and lines). When you explore the map and take a rest on a random outpost and stay there minutes to listen to the dialogues of 2 random sylvari (a knight and a scholar), an asura and a naive sylvari (did you fall from a tree? no, not today), or a charr humming a song with his deep voice. It's wonderful.
Gotcha covered:
Crusader Aurus Fuseblight: What's this sculpture supposed to be?
Antonin: Isn't it obvious? The lights are eyes.
Crusader Aurus Fuseblight: Quit pulling my tail.
Antonin: Look at the eyes. Tilt your head a little.
Crusader Aurus Fuseblight: Come on, I don't—burn me, it's a stringray.
Many alts! Handle it!

There's a spot in Divinity's Reach where some children trade off a patch of grass as a play space:
As a primarily Charr player, I often get a chuckle as my characters stumble on that conversation.

Asura conversations with anyone else are almost always interesting, especially when it doesn't go as planned:
The Gate crew can have fun even without anyone else to talk to:
The asura progeny and young skitt in LA.
New to the game? Feel free to give a yell if you need PVE help.
Those two scoundrels are all over LA, but the apple theft is their funniest dialog.
Snikk: All clear!
Snikk: Hold on. Yeah, she's there.
Snikk: Agent Scratch, engage sneaky mode.
Scratch: You be lookout.
Snikk: Get me an apple too.
Apple Vendor: Hey! Thief!
Scratch: Got 'em! Run!
Snikk: I'm using my magic feet...go!
Apple Vendor: Come back here with that, you little...
Apple Vendor: (sigh) Little stinkers.
+1 on the Canach bandwagon.
Oh, and "By Ogden's Hammer, what savings!" obviously.
aaaaaand
"CITIZENS!"
You stand to benefit more from making friends than you do making enemies.
I never get tired of that convo. It's awesome. Even made ME look and go "Oh! I see it!"
I need to start checking out these npcs. Reading all of this made me laugh, I'm sure I would be in tears if I heard it in game.
I highly encourage it. If you're not in a rush to get somewhere, take the long way and explore a bit. The offsides NPC chatter really adds something to the GW2 world that I don't see in other MMOs, and I love it for that.
Many alts! Handle it!
