Funny / Tamriel Rebuilt

• Tamriel Rebuilt continues the Running Gag of naked Nord barbarians and witches, but puts some twists on it:
  • Which Witch? has you encounter the Nord already chasing the witch, but when calmed down he recognises he'd confused the person he was hunting for the one who'd actually cursed him and taken his stuff.
  • Woebringer has it turn out the "curse" was simply the Nord being, by his own fault, so drunk he passed out.
  • The Naked Witch has you encounter a naked witch who was planning to paralyze her Nord bodyguard and rob him, except her spell was reflected and as punishment he took her stuff.
• A mission for Amelphia Tarramon in the Old Ebonheart Guild of Mages involves retrieving bottles of four different types of Dunmer liquor for intensive research. When you complete the quest and come back to check on her, she's soused.
• Near Teyn, the player can meet a Nord offering to sell a barrel of pickled slaughterfish. Gameplay-wise, the barrel is treated as a 50-pound potion that the player consumes in a single go.
• An Imperial Legion quest in Old Ebonheart has the player stand in for the local commander for a few hours. One soldier approaches the player without their cuirass equipped, allowing the player to pull the classic "Where's your uniform?" routine on them.
• The head priest in Ranyon-Ruhn asks the player to deliver a message to the Parliament of Bugs in Port Telvannis. The message is written on a formal scroll, and consists of a long string of text encoded in the Daedric alphabet. The reply you receive is a scrap of paper consisting solely of the word 'no'.
• Tynachos at the Almas Thirr Mages Guild has his moments.
  • At one point, he asks the player to bring him Dorash gro-Drethan's soul, no matter how hard he resists relinquishing it. He then hastily specifies that he means a soul that Dorash recently came into possession of, not his actual soul.
  • For another of his quests, he awards a player a powerful item for bringing him the soul of a dangerous monster. Upon issuing the reward, he suddenly realizes it would have been helpful to have given the item before sending them to fight the monster.
• Asking Old Kassius at the Ushu-Kur Mine how he became a convict leads to him giving a long and winding recount of his descent into a life of crime, from petty theft to assault, poaching, banditry and arson. At the end, asking if it's true has him state that not a single word of it was.
• One quest in Sailen involves restoring the magically-stolen voice of a violent old hermit. The local hetman directs you to a mage who collects voices, who provides the voice of famous theologian for the hermit to use. However, this does nothing to make him any less violent, if anything making him even more aggressive as he can begin slinging insults without provocation. But you can inform the local hetman that the man's voice has been replaced with a theologian's, leading the hetman to invite him to speak at the local temple. It goes as well as you'd expect.
