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

39 RispostePretty 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.

He is a murderer and very good at what he does. I have been tracking him since wolves broke their chains yessss? Now Taniks works for wolf pack, but not for long.

Kill them dead guardians. -Variks

I'm pretty sure that you can find the dead ghost that had the Legend of the Black Garden grimoire before that line is said. If so, wouldn't it make sense that you've heard the legends? (In other words your ghost knows what the ghost had recorded on it)

"Eris, get your rock off my map" ~Cayde-6 by far my favorite line in the game.
