Ok this topic has been done numerous times, but I just wanted to share this gem.
"Have you heard of the black garden?"
"We've heard the legends"
NO WE HAVEN'T, NO WE HAVEN'T!!!
We literally heard a passing mention of it, but the player is no position to know any legends, hell even the character you play as is in no position to know any legends!
Gasp* sorry I had to get that off my chest.
But it's the kind of line that shows how little cohesive narrative the game has. It can't even establish whose perspective the player is supposed to be in. Are we the silent protagonist, like Gordon freeman and link, or are we an established character with a personal history and motivation like booker from bioshock infinite?
In short, one of the writer's biggest jobs is to anticipate what the spectator knows or doesn't know, and what perspective the spectator is supposed to take.
Sorry about the rant
Edit: I'm not gonna lie, I do like the line "couldn't we just stay with the murderous robots instead?" It makes me chuckle every time.
Well thank you writers, I'll have bad quotes I'll always love to hate and quote on my everyday life.
Edit2: me thinks the line "I don't even have time to explain..." Is responsible for most guardian fatalities thus far. I envy it's K/D

Whenever Lord Shaxx is like "Guardian you are now losing or tied" I'm like well naaaaaaaa we actually winning

Dismantle mines, yesssss...?

That is why when u take a break I play skyrim
-
"I live in your backpack" mostly because guardians don't even have visible backpacks
-
I heard Shaxx for the first time say that "do you prefer when lord Saladin oversees this, DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE?" and that just blew my mind, too funny.

Sometimes Eva will randomly say "I need to find a 64 / 20" and I laugh every time. What the hell is she talking about? Is she losing her mind? It just doesn't matter. It's always funny.

I once heard my ghost say "you know, you really never woke the hive. I just said it that way for effect." One of the lines when you patrol the moon.

Cayde after you talk to him: "Hey, you leaving?" (whispering) "Take me with you. I hate this job." Made me rofl.

*whispers* "think they can see is?" *Dreadnaught weapon charges* "I THINK THEY CAN SEE US" that last line gets me every time.

Pretty much anything from Variks creeps me out. I feel like he's always touching himself inappropriately when talking to me. I'm just going to be in PoE one day and suddenly "Guessss where my hannnd is, Guuaaardian" will rasp its way through my speakers.
