My favorite Skyrim NPC is Salvianus, the Great War veteran living in the Ratway Warrens below Riften. Some of his more heartbreaking dialogue includes:
“They were golden, even when they were dead. But their blood was red. I knew it would be.”
“I had a medal. It had someone's face on it. I threw it away, after. It didn't help.”
“Their fires lit up the night. All across Lake Rumare, like stars come to earth. It was beautiful, really.”
