Neverwinter Nights/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The original campaign of Neverwinter Nights has some pretty good ones. Linu L'aneral's anecdotes per chapter are definitely not to miss whenever you have her as a henchman.
  • Tommi Undergallows' choice of Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: "Here comes halfling death!"
  • Charon, the ferryman of...the sewers (aqueducts!), who is not terribly fond of the beautification project Neverwinter's undergoing, as the finer points seem to be giving things pretty names...

Charon: "Sewers become 'aqueducts', waste becomes 'surplus resources', and my cushy job at the palace becomes tour guide to the FREAKIN' SEWERS, BUT I'M NOT BITTER!!!

    • Later, when you ask if he can take you downstream:

Charon: "Well, I can't leave this spot. An emergency could arise, and my specific expertise could be required. IT COULD HAPPEN!"

  • Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark's funny moments usually deal with Deekin's overeager dialogues.
    • Deekin and Nathyrra discussing what to put in a cookbook for dragons.

"Drows be fatty. Gots it."

    • If you're travelling with Deekin and Sharwyn, Deekin will ask her how come her red hair changes color near the scalp. Sharwyn pays him off to never bring it up again.
      • Heck, all of the inter-party dialogues between Deekin and another henchman are pretty damn hilarious.
    • Nathyrra's random ramblings about the state of her pack.
    • If Evil Aribeth is in your party and is the Sleeping Man's True Love, and the Sleeping Man is awake then some pretty hilarious dialogue ensues.
    • And the developers were probably aware of how annoying Deekin could be when he stops the player yet again in Chapter 2 of HOTU to ask for a bathroom break.
    • When you confront the Final Boss in Hordes, this exchange takes place:

Mephistopheles: Last I knew, I thought I had trapped you for all eternity in an icy little place called Cania.
Player Character: Sorry, Hell froze over.
Mephistopheles: How very witty. But it takes more than sharp wit to rule Hell, little one. You must also...dress the part.
