The Most Popular NPC of All Time

Lukas Vasburg




Dialogue

On Shing Jea Island:

"The name is Lukas of House Vasburg, you seem like a pretty good sort. Why don't you make sure to stay close to me, and you'll learn what it takes to become a legend. That's right, I don't intend to become a mere hero, but truly legendary. Epic, you might say. The crux of the matter, of course, is not just accomplishing your goals but accomplishing them in true style. I will become the greatest of artists and the battlefield will be my canvas. Now, what is it you wanted?"

In the Echovald Forest:

"Can you believe that Danika still refuses to notice me? You would have thought I could get her attention after hiring those minstrels. What was that? You think I've made a mistake? Yes of course! The minstrels were rather droll of me, I think it's time to commission a statue~ or perhaps the writing of a play recounting my great deeds! It's hard to decide, perhaps I'll do both. My thanks for the advice, did you need something?"

Quotes

Self promotion on Shing Jea Island:

* "Who would like to fight by the side of the greatest warrior the world has ever known? That's right don't be intimidated by my prowess!" [sic]
* "You there! You look like a capable sort, invite me to go with you and you too can take part in forging my legend!"

Idle quotes on Shing Jea Island:

* "If only Danika were here to see me. In the entire world, only she is truly worthy of me."
* "It is an honor to fight by my side."
* "It's a shame they let Luxons into the monastery. Of course they fight fairly well, but no style at all."
* "You should see how they treat me back home. I don't really like to brag about it, but I am something of a hero. People know me."

Idle quotes in Echovald Forest:

* "Sometimes when I go into battle I hear music. Of course I paid a lot to commission those songs about me so it is a good thing that the music is so fetching, it sticks in one's head. A true testament to the subject matter!"
* "We've been through a lot, haven't we? It is times like these that make my soul reflect on courage and loyalty, the sort of bond that develops only between those who have shed blood together. A warrior could never ask for more stalwart followers that I have found in all of you."
* "With my homeland in peril and crying out for a hero to save the day, what else could I do but return?"

Battle quotes:

* "Another victory for me!"
* "I make everything look so effortless."
* "I'm really left handed!"
* "Poorly done! Let me show you how to fight with some style!"
* "Saints of old guide my sword; if I should fall then guide my soul!" (same as Erys, possibly a House Vasburg battle cry)
* "Sometimes I amaze even myself!"
* "That was a mightily struck blow, if I do say so myself."
* "The poets will write epics about this day!"
* "You will remember this as the day you were defeated by Lukas Vasburg."



FOLLOWED BY
Nehdukah in the quest Hog Hunt


Preliminary Dialogue

Nehdukah: "Listen closely, Yapono, for I am about to tell you my famous tale. There I was walking through the Echovald Forest, when suddenly I found myself face-to-face with a Black Moa bird protecting her clutch of eggs...."
Beastmaster Yapono: "Nehdukah's telling the Black Moa story again... doesn't he know that we all think he's a fake?"
Nehdukah: "It was the most amazing creature I had ever seen... a Black Moa as dark as the nighttime ocean. Behind her was a nest full of eggs...."
Nehdukah: "While I was in the bushes, another hunter emerged from the forest. I can only assume she, too, was in search of this mystical creature."
Nehdukah: "But this Black Moa was canny. It heard her coming and yet didn't move a muscle! She approached, and out of nowhere the beast attacked her and knocked her to the forest floor."
Nehdukah: "Of course, at this point, I had to act quickly. I ran out to save the other hunter, despite the danger to myself. Sadly, I was one heartbeat too late. The cruel bird got in one more vicious peck...."
Nehdukah: "And it pecked one of her eyes right out of her skull. Terrible! I will have nightmares of the horrible sight for years to come. She was so grateful to have survived that she gave me two of the eggs from the nest."
Chitundu: "Tore out her eye? I bet she didn't see that coming. Ha! I mean, that's terrible. Where are these eggs now?"
Beastmaster Yapono: "I know this part of the story well. She lost her precious eggs, isn't that right, Nehdukah? All lies I tell you. Nehdukah is no hunter!"
Nehdukah: "I am a mighty hunter, Yapono, you'll see. I will go and bring back an impressive pet to prove it. You'll see!"
Beastmaster Yapono: "Don't hurt yourself trying, Nehdukah. Pets are for real hunters, not for tale-tellers like you."

Dialogue

"I found out that the horrible tales of the Black Moa bird are true. They are vicious little buggers that kill most of their pursuers, so there are very few who can tell the tale. I have even learned the secrets of hatching and raising Black Moas and yet everyone laughs at me! I cannot find a Black Moa let alone a Black Moa egg, but perhaps I could tame an impressive warthog and show these Istani that I am a hunter to be reckoned with."

Accept: "I believe your story, Nehdukah. Let's show Yapono that you can do more than talk!"
Reject: "I think Yapono is right. The Black Moa is just a myth."

Intermediate Dialogue 1

Nehdukah: "It's awful. Perhaps the others are right; I am not a great hunter. But I want to be. and I did see a Black Moa bird!"
Nehdukah: "I used to have a way with animals, but I lost it. I think my fear of the Black Moa bird, and the fact that people don't believe me, has really hurt my self-confidence. Animals can tell, you know. They avoid me."
Nehdukah: "The truth of the matter is... the other hunter saved my life, not the other way around. The Black Moa attacked me, and she drove it away. In return, that Moa took her eye."
Nehdukah: "I never thought that a creature would make me look over my shoulder everywhere I go. But that battle with the Black Moa has really affected me. If only people believed me, maybe I wouldn't feel so alone."

Intermediate Dialogue 2

Nehdukah: "Aieeee! What was that?!"
Nehdukah: "Oh, thank Melandru. It was just a warthog."
Nehdukah: "Stay close and make certain nothing disturbs me while I charm this beast."

Intermediate Dialogue 3

Nehdukah: "Ah there you go little one, don't be afraid. You're the best warthog in the entire world, aren't you?"
Nehdukah: "Have some of these nice tubers... there you are. Don't eat them all at once. We're going to be good friends, aren't we?"
Nehdukah: "Let's head back and show everyone my new precious little warthog."

Intermediate Dialogue 4

Nehdukah: "Everyone meet my warthog. I'm going to name him Pork Chop, a name fit for a champion warthog! I told you I would find a real pet and bring it back with me."
Nehdukah: "See guys, what did I tell you? I took on your challenge and succeeded! Pork Chop and I are friends for life, and I am the mightiest hunter of all."
Chitundu: "Wow! Yapono, what a wonderful warthog. Did you see him? Nehdukah is so brave!"
Beastmaster Yapono: "I would never have believed it. Well done, Nehdukah. It looks like I may have underestimated you."
Nehdukah: "Maybe now they'll believe me about the Black Moa bird! Either way, I don't need them anymore. I have Pork Chop, and he's my best friend."

Reward Dialogue

"You have no idea how much your kindness has done. I have a new pet friend, and the other hunters are finally starting to listen to my story about the Black Moa. Do me a favor, though, and keep quiet about our little arrangement. Pork Chop and I both thank you for your help!"



AND:
The kids in The Bog Beast Of Bokku:

Preliminary Dialogue

Baasong: "Listen closely, younglings, for I tell you now the tale of the great and fearsome Bog Beast of Bokku!"
Little Boy 1: "Dis one is vewy scawy!"
Baasong: "Fear not, little one, for the Bog Beast of Bokku only has an appetite for bad apples! Surely, all children here honor their parents and behave as they should, do they not?"
Little Girl 1: "Yes. Yes! I am always good!"
Little Boy 2: "I am more gooder than she is! I swear!"
Little Girl 2: "I am the most goodest of all! It's true! Not like him! He still wets his bed!"
Baasong: "Yes, my little hatchlings. I am sure you are all very good. But for those who are not, a special place is reserved for you in the belly of the Bog Beast!"
Baasong: "The great Bog Beast's lair is deep in the heart of a hidden cave at the bottom of Haiju Lagoon."
Baasong: "There in the murky depths it sits, never batting an eye, always listening for the voices of insolent children."
Baasong: "When a child misbehaves, the Bog Beast emerges from the eternal darkness of its home and creeps out into the night. "
Baasong: "When it finds the home of a naughty child, it waits patiently outside the window, quietly listening for the child to drift off to slumber."
Little Boy 1: "Eep!"
Baasong: "With the last candle extinguished and the house enveloped in darkness, the Bog Beast quietly forces the shutters open, slips inside, and steals the child, careful to muffle the screams with its sickly appendages."
Little Girl 1: "I just made in my pants!"
Baasong: "What becomes of these children, no one knows for sure. Some say they are taken into the depths of the lagoon with the Bog Beast, where it eats them whole!"
Little Boy 2: "Aiieeee!!!!"
Baasong: "Others say the Bog Beast keeps them alive and torments them every night, forcing them to cry out in terror so that all the children might know what will become of them if they misbehave."
Baasong: "On days such as these, they say you can still hear the children crying out, "Be gooooood! Be gooood!""
Little Girl 2: "I never heard the children cry at night. You made that up!"
Baasong: "What is that? Is that the sound of a rotten apple in this bunch? Perhaps the Bog Beast will feast tonight!"
Little Girl 2: "Uh, I did not say anything. He did! Let him get eaten!"
Little Boy 2: "I do not want to get eaten! I do not taste good!"
Little Girl 1: "Why do you not taste good? Because you made in your pants?"
Baasong: "Quiet, children, and fear not! Surely there is a hero about who will face the Bog Beast of Bokku and keep you from harm?"

Dialogue

"The tale I tell is true, stranger, despite my wishes it were not. There is a Bog Beast of Bokku, indeed. Many have slain the creature, but time and again it rises from the grave to claim the bad children once more. I ask of you, find this creature near its home in Haiju Lagoon and slay it in hopes that this time, it will not return. One final word of warning: the Bog Beast is powerful beyond belief and should only be hunted by the bravest and strongest of heroes."

Accept: "I will slay this Bog Beast of Bokku. For the children!"
Reject: "Let it eat the children. It only eats the bad ones, anyway."

Intermediate Dialogue

Baasong: "See children, you have nothing to fear. This hero before you has taken the challenge to face and defeat the Bog Beast of Bokku!"
Little Girl 1: "Ooh! You are so brave!"
Little Boy 1: "Dun let it eat yous!"
Little Girl 2: "I wanna be just like you when I grow up. I wanna be a hero, too!"

Reward Dialogue

"Thank you, friend. Let us hope that you have dealt a blow to the Bog Beast from which it will never recover."

I'd have to go with Oink. He's a stalwart and loyal companion who will always be the last to fall.

Seriously, he actually is my favorite NPC.

I liked Gwen from phrophecies. And before anyone asks, I didn't realise she was under 18.
Yes, I went there.

Shing Jea Sherman is the only NPC that really comes to mind for me.

the most?
It's the d00d who gives that quest and the reward is that thing that you can use to make a five-five farmer.

I thought I had heard the stupidest thing I would ever hear a while back. Apparently... I haven't. I think reading this lowered my IQ

This x100.........

Molenin in sorrow's furnace is by far my favorite.

Oh my, YES!

O I N K

learn to five-five brah. what it means, how it works and most importantly, who gives the gear.

(I wonder if the over zealous mod that loves to delete posts, infract and then ban will delete YOUR post. P.S. if you really want lulz from a mod here, turn off your PMs. that seems to stump some of them as they don't know what to do then.)

Mad King Thorn for his Paragon joke.

Most epic moment in GW history.

Oh, Gadd and Vekk are awesome too.

The Most Popular NPC of All Time: Drizzt Do'Urden

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drizzt

No NPC in GW comes even close. Before EOTN, Gwenn was 'popular' as everybody was wondering what happened to her after finding the broken flute. At the same time many didn't like her.

EDIT: My favourite in GW inspired by the poster below: Master architect Gunther, because he has my first name.

Hogni Truthseeker is my fav, because he got my first name xD

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Hogni_Truthseeker

Wintersday NPC Jak Lundunn: Because it's cool that Anet included an NPC based on one of america's most important writers, but also because they joke about it.

He says "It's freezing out here! A warm cup of Nog would hit the spot right about now, but you wouldn't believe the grief my wife gave me the last time she caught me drinking..."

Which is funny because in reality he was an alcoholic wifebeater.

My fav npc has to be has to be wynn the trainer in the zashien mengire ( so many white moas)

My least fav are the stupid piggies in the quest to get feel no pain 3 hrs rly

Villain: If there's only 1 ultimate baddie this has to bit it
Verata
Damm, he even has his own cult

The Traveler cause he brings gifts!

Who can compete with mighty Oink?

Eternal Forgemaster

Richest NPC of ALL time.

Any of the Mursaat. But let's go with either Optimus Caliph or Lazarus the Dire for their appearance twice in the game.

Storyline NPC - Prince Rurik
Hero - Razah

Villains: Vertera u got to love his minion buff skills

Oh, Zoldark the Unholy.
For being the Minion Master all Necromancers want to be.

Storyline NPC: Mhenlo. He's badass. He's a Monk.

Heroes: Gwen. No competition really.

Town NPCs: Gwen (again). It was always awesome to speculate if she was alive or not after the Searing.

Villan: I'm probably alone on this one but I vote Varesh Ossa. She is really vicious. And I love her "Oh almighty Abaddon" quote.

Special Event NPC: Mad King Thorn, I actually laugh at his jokes every year, lol.

Storyline NPC: Kormir. At least Rurik helps out (while he's alive). Kormir helps in only a couple of places, otherwise she just runs around with her spear. And for that, I do think she deserves the seal of laziness approval.
Heroes: Razah. He's the sexy one.
Town NPCs: Xunlai Agents, methinks. Those people are extraordinary. o_O They can get chests to every corner of the world.
Villan: Slort Nilbog <3
Special Event NPC: Mad King Thorn! Why do you have to even ask?

Storyline NPC - Prince Rurik (back when I cared a little)
Heroes - Koss *dap*
Town NPCs - Xunlai Agent
Villains - Lich Lord
Special Event NPC - /yawn

Yo, I'm real happy for you an I'mma let you finish, but the Ghostly Hero is the greatest NPC of ALL TIME!

Oola, definatly <3 I just totally love her. And Oink ofc ^.^

Think about the message you intended to convey and what you said instead of it.
Hurp.

Favourite NPC of all: Uh... The guard's kid from Minister Cho's. Quality acting on that one.

Oink rules!!!

How many of you remember the day Gwen went crazy and was skipping through town killing everyone!!! End of a beta weekend if I remember correctly. That has to be my all time favorite version of Gwen and all time favorite gaming moment. (i used to have screenies of that but lost em )

Enjoy putting the wintersday dwarf out of his misery worth a chuckle at least once during the event.


(too funny watching everyone scramble for thier lives running away from a little girl)

Storyline: Kilroy
Heroes: Master of Whispers(he's cool)
Town NPC: Shing Jea Sherman(He knows everyone )
Villain: Shiro (big surprise, huh?)
Special events: Kimberly (She hates everyone)

TOMA.
and oink.
and Kilroy.

Kilroy Stonekin

Also, Most Popular NPC of All the Time: Nicholas the Traveler

Proof. He's #12 right now. Only NPC who made it to TOP50

Storyline: Oink. Supertank extraordinaire.
Heroes: Livia. I mean c'mon.
Town NPC: Avatar of Grenth. People wait around hours just waiting for him to show up.
Villain: Shiro. Best storyline of all the baddies.
Special Events: Necromancer Malaise. All those poor Gargoyles.

Alesia, because despite players being soooo bad in prophesies days she still managed to get us all through it (in the end) some how.

For a long time it was Budger Blackpowder, but now he's stingy with the kegs.

Clearly, Oink is superior to all. I mean, have you seen how many Undead are behind that house? They are so afraid of his legendary majesty that they cower in fear.

Oink.

Though Joe is a close second.
