Online:Bandit Dialogue

Bandit dialogue is unisex. You'll occasionally hear it from ordinary citizens in populated settlements.

Sneaky Dealings	Casual Conversation
"Our next job better bring a lot of gold." "I drew a map in the dirt. Not my fault someone trod on it." "Hey, what's a little extortion among friends?" "He should have died when I killed him." "Only this one needs to know the whole plan." "There's a way in through the sewers. He drew me a map." "We should throw dice for gold. Interested?" "Stretch your tail. This watch is mine." "We do not have to kill him after we rob him. He could have an accident." "We'll meet here after the job to split up the gold." "If I die, I'm taking those scaleless milk-suckers with me!" "I say hang him. Let him twist in the wind."	"My bowstring snapped. Bad luck." "Ha! That's not a stew pot, it's my laundry!" "I can't remember her name. The pretty one." "I can't remember her name. The pretty one with the beard." "What is her name? The sun-blessed one with small scales." "I tried to read that book. The covers were too far apart." "I don't have to explain something I never said!" "That was an unwelcome surprise." "This one could use a strong drink." "I cannot complain, but that does not seem to stop me." "I mostly kill people who kill people, cause killing is wrong." "I'm a criminal. Criminals don't ask questions." "I don't like change, especially without my consent."	"Khajiit does not like growing old, but the alternative is worse." "Did you hear something?" "Keep it down. You'll wake the dead!" "Never trust an elf. Pointy-eared back stabbers!" "I like crime. The hours are good and you get to travel." "What is that terrible smell? It's making me hungry." "Xuth! What is that terrible smell?" "What is that terrible smell?" "You do not want to get on my bad side, trust me." "Do not test me, unclawed fool!" "Keep it down. You'll wake the dead!" "Who's got a whetstone?" "Did she fall asleep on watch again?" "Tell that withered root to watch his back."

Talking about Themselves and Others

Bandit Wisdom

"I wish a Spinner would come by. I love a good tale." "As long as I take five or six of them with me, I'm happy." "His fate was such that no woman would have him!" "I always forgive my enemies, but I remember their names." "That one has voices in his head." "He hears voices in his head. Don't worry, they're good people." "Mara's bosom, he's a dull one." "Did you see his new bow? That must have cost him." "Did you see that one's new bow? It is most fragrent [sic]!" "When the new Mane rises, the Khajiit will leave the Dominion." "I never tell the truth to those unworthy of it." "Where is that half-witted horker? He's trying to skeeve out of the deal!" "Where is that half-witted reject of Sithis?" "Tell that stupid s'wit to watch his back." "She's crazier than a cat on skooma." "He's not the sharpest arrow in the quiver." "Did you meet the new commander?" "He goes to the city just for the pickpockets. Says it's the only love he ever gets." "He goes to the city for the pickpockets. He enjoys the attention." "I try not to be superstitous [sic]. That brings bad luck." "This one is not superstitous [sic]. That brings bad luck." "As mud is my mother, I will avenge that day."

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." "Only the dead will see an end to this war." "This one prefers a life of crime to a life of boredom." "I prefer a life of crime to a life of boredom." "Sometimes a little lie saves a ton of explanation." "You have to be quick, and you have to be able, or you'll be dead." "Do not let yesterday take up too much of today." "You can't be too careful when you're picking your enemies." "If we do not end this war, it will end us." "Nothing is certain until it happens." "Cities are like cats. They reveal themselves at night." "Keep an eye out for Hackwings, or you won't have any." "Keep your weapons sharp and close." "Nine times out of ten, the cynics are right." "Gold may be the root of evil, but we all need roots." "Bah. Morality is a fool's game." "Wasting time is an important part of life!" "One weapon is never enough in this line of work." "The only fish that go with the river's flow are the dead ones." "Failure is success if you learn from it." "Isn't the best defense always a good attack?" "Of course crime pays. Otherwise there'd be no crime." "The real bandits around here are the tax collectors." "Rule number one: Nothing is too small to steal."

"The dryskin fool saw me taking daril, so I gave him some. It's poison to their kind! Ha!" "We were about to call it a night, when that idiot drove his horse off a bridge." "I killed him. Got tired of hearing him sob like a baby." "We found three bodies in the river. They might have drowned after they were stabbed." "I covered the body with a rug. I'm not an idiot." "I broke six lock picks opening an empty chest." "You can't swing a dead cat around here. I got in trouble for that." "Khajiit's family died when the plague spread through Senchal."
