Anyone ever play Baldur's Gate? That part in Nashkell, where you read the headstones in the graveyard, and you get the following poem:
Beneath the stone
This lump of clay
Lies Mark D the Young
Who, on the 23rd of May
Began to hold his tongue
And you know how a guy named Daer'Ragh appears and warns you not to do it 3 times, before setting Phoenix warriors on you, and causing chaos?
Yeah, that's who I'd like to beat the crap out of.
Also, most NPCs in Oblivion, for having about as much radiant AI as a 10-Watt bulb. That includes obscuring doorways, stealing your kills, getting in the way when you're fighting, and generally engaging in repetitive conversations with each other like people with bad scripts. Oh, wait...
