Online:Justice Dialogue

• Ambient Dialogue
• Dragon Sighting Dialogue
• Greetings
• Guard Dialogue
• Justice Dialogue
• Overheard Dialogue

Justice dialogue is associated with actions that warrant a bounty. There's dialogue for assault, trespassing, murder, theft, getting caught pickpocketing, transforming into a werewolf in public and feeding on an NPC's blood in public as a vampire. There is also dialogue for NPCs expressing suspicion towards a player sneaking while detected, trying to speak to a justice neutral character/merchant with high infamy, and NPCs noticing that their pockets have been picked clean. Each race has a variety of dialogue with which they respond to illegal or suspicious actions.

If an NPC responds to a crime by engaging you in combat, they will not utter any dialogue.

Suspicion

If an NPC sees you sneaking, there's a chance they'll warn you against theft.

• "Don't pull anything, or I'll tell the Guard."

• "I see you there!"
• "I erect the spine of suspicion."
• "The guards will learn of your thievery."
• "You really shouldn't be doing that."
• "Don't do it. It's not worth it."
• "There is no moisture in this for me. Go."

Theft Detected

• "You can't just walk in here."
• "That's it. You've forced me to call the Guard."
• "Guards' on their way. Best clear out before they clear you out."

Werewolf Sighting

Looking the Other Way

Dialogue for NPCs choosing to ignore crimes you commit in front of them exists in the game's text file.

• "Crime? What crime?"
• "I'd do something about that, but I just don't want to."
• "Toss some of that over here and I'll forget I saw anything."
• "The guards won't get anything out of me, I assure you."
• "As with all things, there is an ebb and flow to the law."
• "Well, I'm not speaking to the guards."
• "Let me go. I will never speak of this."
• "If your parental units don't care, why should I?"
• "I didn't see anything, I swear. I'm blind as a bat."
• "Well ... you paid your bounty. I suppose I can be seen speaking with you."
• "I didn't call the Guard, I swear!"
• "Do you think I care what you do?"
• "Fine. I'll let it go, this time."
• "The Guard has no tolerance for criminals."
• "I didn't see anything, I swear. I'm blind as a bat."
• "You tried to kill someone!"
• "Halt at once!"
• "Coin is coin. Make your purchase and leave me in peace."
• "The eye of the law is all-seeing."
• "Well ... you paid your bounty. I suppose I can be seen speaking with you."
• "I keep my nose in my own business."
• "Lorkhan's bloated belly, leave me out of this."
• "Just don't make that mistake again."
• "Oh. Right. My mistake"
• "Hold there!"
• "Make your purchase and begone."
• "I'll ... just be going."
• "Oh, all right. Just this once."
• "Gods, what a terrible thing!"
• "Fine, but you'll owe me one."
• "Stop right there, outlaw!"
• "I didn't want it to come to this, but you wouldn't listen."
• "You are pardoned. Go and sin no more."
• "Stop right there!"
• "What sort of fool do you take me for? Fine."
• "Hold there!"
• "Yes, of course. It's only right."
• "I'll take your gold, but you better not try anything funny."
• "Shop here if you must, but I'd prefer you went elsewhere."
• "So you paid for your crimes? I suppose that means we can do business."
• "Please don't hurt me!"
• "I saw nothing. I assure you."
• "Justice is not without mercy. Don't let it happen again."
• "You will go no farther."
• "It is inconsequential."
• "Pardon me!"
• "Right, I understand. We've all made mistakes."
• "Cease all movement, now."
• "Oh, fine. You'll probably just commit another crime."
• "It matters not if you are good. Only that your gold is."
• "I am a soft wind, passing by, remaining silent."
• "My pleasure!"
• "I am not your enemy."
• "Keep your troubles to yourself."
• "Your problems are not my problems."
