guards are the only ones who say that

Actually the guards are the only ones who don't say that... Everybody else is just a master ventriloquist.

Illuminati EXPOSED...

I still want a mod that transforms anybody into a guard when you shoot an arrow into their knee.

The player discovers a laser musket

Yes.

[forsaken1111]

Is something wrong with it being a laser musket?

[SOLDIER First]

I think the best thing about it is that, barring weapon degradation, INFINITE POWER-MUSKET

[forsaken1111]

I've always wondered why it was a laser *rifle*. Its not as though you're spinning the light beam for accuracy.

[Graknorke]

Same way you can have an internet radio. Because we already have rifles and people understand what that means.

No, it's just funny. Very Fallout-y idea.

The thing is, that line was actually brilliant writing. It was a throwaway joke line which pretty much instantly jumped to being a top-tier meme, even to the point where people invented a "real" meaning that it was supposedly a metaphor for (the story that "taking an arrow to the knee" was slang for marriage).

I was kinda confused when I finally got Skyrim and only rarely heard that line.  Guess I didn't hang out with guards much.  Didn't help that half the time they said "Wait, I know you..."
(Still amazes me that you can just tab out of their accusation and walk away)

Halt!

I still love that video

[SealyStar]

For me the most annoying guard thing in Skyrim was the comments on your skills and equipment. It's an impressive feature that obviously took a lot of writing and VA effort for something that most people just ignore, but its get grating the 50th time you hear "Favah da bow, eh? I'm moah of a sword mahn myself" or "Da best offense ees a good defense, amirite?"

you can see them losing ammo when they wind, so no
