I Have Random Thoughts
I play TES Skyrim, which I know is a super popular game, but have you ever gone into the Ratway Warrens by the Ragged Flagon? There's this guy down in the warrens, obviously living there because he hates society or isn't accepted there, just like everyone else in the Warrens. It seems that he fought for the Empire in the Great War, and is very scarred because of it. He mumbles incoherently to himself about it. And when you go to find Esbern, and the Thalmor approach, the old soldier might fight the Thalmor, screaming in horror. "No, I already killed all of you! Over, and over, and over!" It's so sad, when you think about. I really wish there were more to the NPC. I just love how Bethesda puts that kind of thought into even filler characters.
