Quest Talk:Chapter 6: Cousin Brogur

I suspect Brogur's text depends on character race. It has been changed before on this page, but what I see matches the quest text as it was originally written. Here is what he says to an elf:

'What did you say your name was? <name>? I can barely pronounce that.
'You'll have to make yourself especially useful with a name like that.'

I wonder what he says to dwarves. -- Elinnea (talk) 12:11, 30 May 2012 (EDT)

Here's what he said to a Man:

'What did you say your name was? <name>?
'Is that even a real name? You'll need to work especially hard to make up for that!' Lifthil (talk) 23:38, 3 June 2016

Female High Elf matches other elves, as recorded. Lally (talk) 01:07, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

As far as I know, these are the lines tied to race, not gender. --Tiberivs (talk) 15:59, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

• Man / Beorning

Is that even a real name? You'll need to work especially hard to make up for that!

• Dwarf / Stout-axe

That's a good solid dwarf name. You'll have to make yourself especially useful if you expect to live up to that name.

• Elf / High Elf

I can barely pronounce that. You'll have to make yourself especially useful with a name like that.

• Hobbit / River Hobbit

You call that a name? You'll have to make yourself especially useful if you expect to live that down.
