Online:Justice Dialogue

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
Jump to: navigation, search

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.

If an NPC responds to a crime by engaging you in combat, they will not utter any dialogue.

Suspicion[edit]

If an NPC sees you sneaking, there's a chance they'll warn you against theft.

  • "Don't pull anything, or I'll tell the Guard."
  • "The Eight frown on criminal activity. Just a thought."

  • "Your scent has been noted."
  • "I've got my eye on you."
  • "What do you want?"
  • "I've no time for games. Move along."
  • "Back off! I mean it!"
  • "Could you stop doing that, please?"
  • "Don't even think about it."
  • "Try anything, and the full force of the Guard will be upon you."
  • "What do you think you're doing?"
  • "Hmph. So uncivilized."
  • "Keep it clean and orderly. Or else."
  • "Move along, citizen, lest we have words."
  • "Just leave me out of this."

  • "I can't be bothered with this."
  • "Your behavior has caught my attention."
  • "You are not being subtle."
  • "How about you find something else to do?"
  • "If you try anything, be warned, I will call the guards."

  • "Do you always behave that way near an officer of the law?"
  • "Stay away from me."
  • "I don't want to get involved."
  • "You seem like a nice enough person. Why not?"
  • "Stop and face justice!"
  • "I see you there!"
  • "I erect the spine of suspicion."
  • "The guards will learn of your thievery."
  • "You really shouldn't be doing that."
  • "Don't do it. It's not worth it."
  • "There is no moisture in this for me. Go."
  • "Could you just go? I won't report you."
  • "Don't worry. I am no friend to the guards."
  • "If you break the law, I will report you."
  • "You have nothing to fear from me."
  • "Don't worry. I mind my own affairs."
  • "There are witnesses, you know."
  • "I see what you're doing over there."

  • "Hey, that's not yours."
  • "Thief! Someone help me."

Trespassing[edit]

If a character sees you in a restricted area, they'll call you out.

  • "Think you can just walk right in? No you can not."
  • "You can't just walk in here."
  • "That's it. You've forced me to call the Guard."
  • "Guards' on their way. Best clear out before they clear you out."

  • "Depart or I will toss you bodily from this place."
  • "You do not belong here."
  • "Maybe I wasn't clear before. I want you to leave."

Vampire Feeding[edit]

NPCs will respond with revulsion at the sight of a feeding vampire.

  • "Unholy creature!"
  • "Bloodsucking fiend!"
  • "A vampire? Here?"
  • "There's a blood-drinker here!"
  • "You won't get my blood, foul creature."
  • "Cease all movement, now."
  • "A vampire! Run!"
  • "Vampire--Help!"
  • "You won't get my blood, vampire!"
  • "By the three, an undead abomination."

Werewolf Sighting[edit]

If you enter a populated area as a werewolf or transform in public, civilians around you will react with fear.

  • "A werewolf! Trinimac aid me ..."
  • "W-w-werewolf!"
  • "Arkay have mercy--it's a werewolf!"
  • "A werewolf? Ugh ... disgusting."
  • "Aetherius protect us from that creature."
  • "Ill met, werewolf."

  • "A monster! And on this day of all days!"
  • "The sight of you dries my scales, beast."
  • "Look out, a werewolf!"

Looking the Other Way[edit]

Dialogue for NPCs choosing to ignore crimes you commit in front of them exists in the game's text file.

  • "Crime? What crime?"
  • "I'd do something about that, but I just don't want to."
  • "Toss some of that over here and I'll forget I saw anything."
  • "The guards won't get anything out of me, I assure you."
  • "As with all things, there is an ebb and flow to the law."
  • "Well, I'm not speaking to the guards."
  • "Let me go. I will never speak of this."
  • "If your parental units don't care, why should I?"
  • "I didn't see anything, I swear. I'm blind as a bat."
  • "Well ... you paid your bounty. I suppose I can be seen speaking with you."
  • "I didn't call the Guard, I swear!"
  • "Do you think I care what you do?"
  • "Fine. I'll let it go, this time."
  • "The Guard has no tolerance for criminals."
  • "I didn't see anything, I swear. I'm blind as a bat."
  • "You tried to kill someone!"
  • "Halt at once!"
  • "Coin is coin. Make your purchase and leave me in peace."
  • "The eye of the law is all-seeing."
  • "Well ... you paid your bounty. I suppose I can be seen speaking with you."
  • "I keep my nose in my own business."
  • "Lorkhan's bloated belly, leave me out of this."
  • "Just don't make that mistake again."
  • "Oh. Right. My mistake"
  • "Hold there!"
  • "Make your purchase and begone."
  • "I'll ... just be going."
  • "Oh, all right. Just this once."
  • "Gods, what a terrible thing!"
  • "Fine, but you'll owe me one."
  • "Stop right there, outlaw!"
  • "I didn't want it to come to this, but you wouldn't listen."
  • "You are pardoned. Go and sin no more."
  • "Stop right there!"
  • "What sort of fool do you take me for? Fine."
  • "Hold there!"
  • "Yes, of course. It's only right."
  • "I'll take your gold, but you better not try anything funny."
  • "Shop here if you must, but I'd prefer you went elsewhere."
  • "So you paid for your crimes? I suppose that means we can do business."
  • "Please don't hurt me!"
  • "I saw nothing. I assure you."
  • "Justice is not without mercy. Don't let it happen again."
  • "You will go no farther."
  • "It is inconsequential."
  • "Pardon me!"
  • "Right, I understand. We've all made mistakes."
  • "Cease all movement, now."
  • "Oh, fine. You'll probably just commit another crime."
  • "It matters not if you are good. Only that your gold is."
  • "I am a soft wind, passing by, remaining silent."
  • "My pleasure!"
  • "I am not your enemy."
  • "Keep your troubles to yourself."
  • "Your problems are not my problems."
  • "Look, there's no reason we should be enemies."

Necromancy[edit]

Altmer[edit]

  • "No! You've cursed us thrice over with your necromancy!"
  • "Do not dare cross me, de'nt, with your obscene magic."

  • "Really? How dare you use that detestable magic?"
  • "Is that … ? NO! Not necromancy!"
  • "Gah! You contaminate us all, necromancer!"
  • "Only a fool meddles with the dead, dryskin."

  • "Surely you're not casting necromancy? What sane person would do that?"

Dunmer[edit]

  • "Do you want restless dead? Because that's how you get them!"
