10 Ungrateful Video Game NPCs That Deserved WORSE
1. Delphine - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
If you were to ask Skyrim players who the most annoying NPC in the game is, most wouldn't take long to say Delphine.
Delphine is one of the last few surviving members of a secret organization tasked with protecting the Emperor Tiber Septim and any Dragonborn that came after him.
So what does Delphine do when she meets your character, the Last Dragonborn of legends? She orders you around, constantly putting Tamriel's last line of defense against dragons in danger and giving you a ton of unwanted attitude for it.
But that's not even the most hateable part of her character. It's the fact that Delphine always acts like she's smarter and better than you, even though she's consistently wrong.
She makes you infiltrate a hostile embassy on nothing but a misguided hunch and forces you to prove your very obvious, shouty dragon powers by slaying a dragon, and when her plans turn out to be a waste of time, she only berates you and acts like it's your fault.
Unfortunately, just like Skyrim's many annoying children, Delphine cannot be killed. Which makes sense, considering she acts like one.
