Skyrim: 5 Strange Random Encounters You May Have Missed in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim (Part 5)

- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Skyrim is a game Bethesda built to stand the test of time and one of the ways The Elder Scrolls 5 is able to feel so consistently repayable is through its use of Random Encounters. Random Encounters are random events and interactions that can occur across Skyrim when you least expect them, ranging from surprise bandit ambushes to simple traveling merchants. While many are mundane, some are incredibly fun, rare and/or fascinating. So today we’ll be taking a look at five more strange and rare random encounters you may have missed in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Sorry for the jump scare, here's a Discord thing! discord.gg/rMGk5DR
Nate, the fugitive does come back, had it happen to me twice. You have a few options when they return: 1) if you have the item you can give it back. 2) If you don't, you say that you don't have it and they will attack. 3) You can keep it and they will attack.
Your welcome and thanks for the vids!
Tell me the discord name
Also in random encounter with those bandits you may find naked bodies of real Imperial soldiers nearby the road. Also sometimes they might be disguised as Stormcloaks. Once I staggered upon bandits already lying dead on the road.
TheEpicNate315 what mods do you use?!
That 'spook' almost killed me jeez
Old orc: i'm too old to live.. would you give me a good death?
*Dragonborn attacks Old orc*
Old orc: NEVA SHUD HAV KAM HERE!!
Lion Sin of Pride Escanor if this isn’t accurate I don’t know what is
When i was almost killing the OId Orc, he start shouting ''No more, i yield, i yield!''
I mean, you want to die or not you danm old man?
That happen with me and he also said "I surrender!"
I don't kill him because orcs actually get recycled. When they get old in LOTR they go back to Mordor and get a new body, of course as all orcs are originally from Mordor, I'm imagining this is what the old orc should do too.
I don't mean to be rude im just blunt Good thing this isn’t lord of the rings?
Guys don’t watch, there’s a jump scare in the first few seconds
Goddamnit , I was too late
So was I
AHHHHHH!!!!

Battle-Mage Dovakiin much? :P Blast with magic, shout AND finish each of them with a nice finishing animation.
Idk why, but this made me imagine you somehow dual welding crossbows, and now I want to see that.
I only came across the giant walking with the cow once and it was actually my first play through so once I saw it I assumed all giants were passive until I approached a camp and got sent to the moon for free. XD
@JT This was a late reply. XD
Well I guess thats a contradictory seeing how it was a "giant" so it was big. XD
@JT Im confused whats the point in making an argument with a comment from a year ago? Also I mean im not opposed to chatting but I usually just get rid of my YT notifications so I am sorry if our conversation ends short. 😞
@JT why are you so hellbent on thinking they’re lying
@JT do you have proof they are lying?

There is one rare encounter, a soldier saying „I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee“
Maybe soneone missed that
thats just part of the stuff soldiers always say when you walk past
@@Cgar776 you missed the joke
Well I took an arrow to the head my guy
@@Cgar776 you missed the joke
I actually heard a soldier saying a variation of this, I'm not sure exactly what he said but it was something like “I used to be an adventurer like you until I took a fireball to the face”.
I see the old orc every single play through. I’ve also seen the fugitive plenty of times, but after over 800 hours of playing this game I either haven’t seen any of the other encounters or have only seen them once. Brutal
Exact same way for me and I played the game for so long although I have see the colored cow
@@profitsmash672 I’ve also seen the thief and the man chasing him a few time
@@profitsmash672 I saw most of them multiple times. Orc only once and dead cats around him never despawned. Actually daedric artifact ones are rarer... some random that killed someone and allows you to get a first bite (Namira Ring) and some old crazy lady asking you to Wabbajack her (she is funny). Benefiit of being unable to fast travel on Survival
Dunno if other artifacts have their encounters too...
When I first encountered the fake Imperial Soldiers, I was in beast mode... Despite that, i was able to select dialogue and had the normal options (Pay, fight, intimidate i think)
I mean, they may be frauds, but they had the balls to ask for a fee to a Werewolf... I respect that
What's with criminals and mugging werewolves in Skyrim? O.o Either way, assassins, fugitives, and thieves have all come to me when my character was in beast form as well. They are bloody morons with balls.
Honestly I'd pay them. If they're brave enough to look at a slavering werewolf and still pull a con I think they've earned it
Oye, let’s mug him!
@@KiwiLombax15 Good point.
Unfortunately, I was hungry when they tried to shake me down. I ate them :(
Old orc: "Give me a good death so my soul can pass on into the afterlife."
Dragon-Born: "Sure Thing."
Dragon-Born: *Soul Traps him.*
Underrated lol
m.ua-cam.com/video/X2WH8mHJnhM/v-deo.html
in orc culture, this is otherwise known as a dick move
It's actually not a dick move if you use the soul gem to enchant a weapon. Orcs consider that to be kind of living a second life, full of battle that honors Malacath and their ancestors
Raguel El Naqum or you just sell their soul to a mage who will most likely just keep their gem on display or just sell it again :P
There's a 3rd ending to the hunter and fugitive:
Kill him before the hunter catches up.
Which is what I usually do
Agreed,I usually kill the fugitive than return the item to the hunter
@@energeticstranger5236 ditto
And then kill the hunter.
Im one of those kill everybody type players and I like to along with the story untill I can see the hunter than I kill the thief talk to the hunter and give him his stuff back and than kill him
Me: In the middle of fighting two dragons
Fugitive: Allow me to introduce myself
The old orc got killed by a dragon in one of my playthroughs. Pretty sure that was a good death for him.
A very epic death, I would say
IKR
Best death ever! I commend his soul to his Orc Valhalla
Last that happened to me the bad ass lived through it.
@@insaincaldo I mean, if you killed him, he still died to a dragon. Just a different dragon.
My 1st experience with a giant is a common one. I was level 1 or 2 on the way from Riverwood to Whiterun, I was introduced to the Skyrim space program.
Ah, it's worst to meet a snow troll on your way to the greybeards

@@seb2750 It's funny how I waited "months" for a notice of her death or her to come back...she never did
I’ve yet to be punted into space- which is surprising to me because I literally sit and stare at them from a distance for a really long time.
DDDloki not for me cuz I was insanely overleveled
The fugitive that gives you the random item is one of my memorable happenings in Skyrim! It goes like this...
I am one of those hoarders that keep collecting everything "for a rainy day", so at some point I have a difficult time because I am always close to over encumbered: just one more tiny flower will make me drag my feet!
So this was one of those occasions: I was looting some dungeon, got near full-capacity and I was running around in a unexplored part of the map desperately trying to find a village/city to find a store and sell my loot.
I reached a village after avoiding a lot of bandit encounters (I didn't want more loot to collect!) and I saved my game (as i didn't want to get through all that again!).
I looked around trying to see a store and one second after I saved my game heard screams all around me shouting "Dragooon" and people started shooting arrows to a dragon that just landed in a building nearby while soldiers run everywhere. I was right in the middle of a square and the dragon was roaring at the top on a main building looking at my direction. I was still thinking if I wanted to fight a dragon in this situation (I just wanted to sell my stuff and I was not very powerful, OTOH it could be a good occasion to barf a ton of potions, to light my load and try my best with the dragon) when that fugitive appeared, telling me all that stuff about keeping his item and protect him, etc and left.
It was a big heavy war-hammer that left me instantaneously locked to the ground in the middle of the town square and the dragon started breathing fire at me.
Remember my last save was from a few seconds ago!
This was around 8 years ago, never forgot it and it was so stressful it's as real to me as a real-life event!
Could have just thrown stuff on ground and picked it back up
@@ianwebb8066 😆That's right. And that's what I did, after the first shock of surprise. But then got even more anxious because of course the first thing i tried to get rid of was the big weapon... and i couldn't! It was "locked" as it was a "quest item" and couldn't be dropped. And i didn't want to drop random valuable stuff around as I just wanted to get the heck out of there. Eventually that's what I had to do, but it doesn't matter as the point of all of this was: strange random encounters!
@@fernandomartins6664 they old 70 lbs iron battle axe of rusting for the quest
Fake soldier: This is a toll road.
Dovahkiin: FUS RO DAH!
COOL! Gotta try that one when I next run into those guys, or turn into a Vampire Lord!
Dovakin: I hate ! Taxes!
the best part about the old orc encounter is that you can sheathe your weapon and he will de-aggro and grumble, saying he's disappointed
Actually pretty neat. Huh. Thanks, stranger.
So he doesn't just murder you if you give up, cool.
I wish he was an optional companion that could die.
Like if you pass a speech check or something like "why not come with me, im the dragonborn and i fight dangerous shit all the time" kind of thing.
Then he can just be with you like a regular companion till he dies.
@@FlamingAtheist - That would be cool. I've only found the old orc once and I did battle him to his death. I felt kinda bad killing him, even though he wanted it. I felt bad that I just had to leave him by the side of the road (it was my first play-through and I didn't know how to drag something yet or I'd have laid him out rather more respectfully than just leaving him there like he'd been ejected from a speeding vehicle).
The only time when you are recognised for being a high ranking Imperial. Wow.
I know it kind of bothers me when your thane of every hold and have all the houses and are leader of multiple key factions and you still get mugged by random assholes like bro I will send you to fucking soul cairn
Joshua Wright 😂
@makeanewchronoplz I feel if you're apart of the dark brotherhood then people shouldn't try and murder you
@@joshuawright4198 you have a point, but at the same time news travels by word of mouth in Skyrim. You can't expect every random mugger to know who you are. That being said, it would have been nice if they had more dynamic combat options, for example if you Fus Ro Dah a bandit off the cliff side have the rest of the group then immediately realize who you are and promptly surrender. There is a surrender option but it isn't triggered by you being recognized, nor is it ever a legitimate stop to combat like it should be.
@@13vatra BUT I AM WEARING DARK BROTHERHOOD ARMOUR
On thing I wished Skyrim had, was more “interactive” or more cinematic deaths for certain events or encounters.
Imagine the old orc, instead of just losing and dying, he would fall into the prone “essential npc” pose and have a few last words before you can finish him off with a final slash or just fall dead.
There are plenty of encounters where I feel like a slightly prolonged death could add a TON of immersion and emotional weight, especially in a short random encounter like that.. as well as certain assassination quests, some of the dungeon bosses, etc. It’s not a hard system to implement, they already have everything in game engine. Just add the essential npc pose, play the line of dialogue and then die or let us finish them. It would be cool if you could choose to spare them too, as a non lethal defeat in a few specific cases.
I just think that mechanic would add a lot to the game imo.
Hopefully, Nexus has a mod for this in the future.
A "Shadow of War" orc captain death (basically what you're describing if you've never played SoW) type scene would be awesome!
I adopted Runa from the orphanage, and Lucia from White run. They usually get along great and run the streets of Markarth together. One day Marcurio ( my husband ) and I came home from an adventure and those two were calling each other funny names like a Horker and different hilarious stuff 😂😂😂
I also adopted those two, on my second playthrough. I found out Lucia was adoptable, I didn't have a house yet, I aimed to buy one after that. And then got her a sibling. ❤ I am married to Ysolda, which brings in profits.
7:53 "you're suddenly thrust into this conflict that you dont really understand"

Listen... books are for collecting, not for reading!
TonyBarnes yeah! they look cool in my house and sometimes level up my skills!
@Ties de Jong nigga it a joke stfu
All I can think of is Gordon Freeman getting G-Manned at the end of Black Mesa and ending up waking up on the cart to Helgen. I don't know why
I got the first part of the interaction but not the 2nd part
My personal favorite: I ran across the "Imperial" toll group a few days ago as a Stormcloak, and my dialogue option was along the lines of "Three imperial soldiers against one Stormcloak? That hardly seems fair to you three."
Hail Talos, brother!
Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
But logically it makes sense the empire would win,they have many,many more troops and soldiers alongside their various connections with all of TamreilTamriel
@@commandercruel8231 Stormcloak's just gotta have faith.
I just kinda always seen the storm cloaks as power hungry racists who got butt hurt cause they’re mortal hero couldn’t be classified as a god
“...has been a real pain in the neck.”
*throws phone across the room*
Old orc: "Give me a good death so my soul can pass on into the afterlife."
Dragon-Born: "Sure Thing." pulls out mace of Molag Bal
Old orc: "I have made a terrible mistake."
I think I'm at about 500 hours and I've never met the "imperial" blockade but I've met the orc almost 10 times.
Same, really annoying when you meet the old orc at super low level and don't have a chance at giving him his good death.
I've ran into the toll takers 2 or 3 times and they have all been around Solitude
I once found those toll guys near the exit of bleak falls barrow for whatever reason
I was at a low level and i accidentally didn't want to pay & got killed
I usually run into the blockade near Whiterun really early in the game, between the bridge and the Ritual Stone
Don't remember meeting the Old Orc, though
But tbh, if i was the orc god (forgot its name) i would set a better place for guys like him, so badass who got that old undefeated
I have run into the orc one seemingly every playthrough.
*Listens to the old orc's story*
Me: You know what's wrong with Skyrim these days? Everyone's obsessed with death!
Is this a reference?
@@emailname8624 It's just a phrase one of the NPC's in whiterun loves to say basically anytime you walk past him...

Correct, it is the bard wanna-be Jon who always hangs out at the market checking out Olfina's ass everyday. FFS Jon, take her out to the meaderie outta the city and have a picnic with her. Creepy stalker bard weeb
In one of my games the fugitive did come back and attacked for snitching.
The Dovahkiin: *powerful demi god blessed by Akatosh, gifted with the voice, able to send enemies flying with a single shout.*
Bandits: *"Oh yeah. Let's get that one."*
There's a similar encounter with Vampires dressed up like Vigilant of Stenddar that call you aside
For real? I've never seen that. To still be able to see things for the very first time after all those years...no wonder Skyrim's still so popular.

11:05 ah yes, the famous phrase. "They'll let you by scott three."
I normally travel in Lycan form to devour as many hearts as I can so I think I may have killed a good chunk of the random encounters by accident xD
The old orc actually made me sad. My first encounter with him was near whiterun. I didn't want to kill him so I let him be. But I did want to try my luck with some giants. What transpired though was that this being at the beginning of the game back in good old 2011 I had no idea how deadly they were so it turned into a mad dash for survival after running out of arrows and not being to kill either giant after me. But then all of a sudden I heard a battle cry, so I turned around and noticed the orc had challenged them. Since I ran close to the place I encountered him he was aggroed. The brave man managed to kill one of them to my surprise. But already wounded from fighting both of them, the second giant was too much.....Good old man orc.
To complete the story after witnessing that I considered myself a coward if I ran away so I marched towards certain death myself. Though as cool as that sounds I did barely survive.
Next time you see him kill him, surround him with flowers, place an orcish sword and shield on his chest and don't take off his clothes. Chose to place him on a field or on a hill. IDK why, but it seems nice :)
HolyTHOT Begoner Yeah, give him a Viking style funeral
@@infamousshinkicker6924 You are a good man. I only lay him out nicely at a good hero funeral location, usually at a top of a rock or under a road sign.
Alexis, I welcome you to the Skyrim Space Program. Wave to the giant and have a good flight
Damn apparently that orc is an actual bad ass, I've seen similar stories and had one with a dragon.
I hate killing the old orc. I oblige because that's what he wants. I still feel bad after it though.
SilentReflection101 I thought I was the only one who feels that way😂
I wish you could recruit him like a follower, to take him dragon-hunting with you. If that's not a good death, nothing is.
Not me. I first came across him when i played as an Orc and i guess that helped me cope
That's a sign of respect
Depending on what character I roleplay as, I may or may not have sent him to the Soul Cairn a few times (Oops)
The random encounter with the fugitive gave me a dwarven helmet shortly after I joined the College of Winterhold in a new playthrough. It had an improved version of the enchantment on my current helmet on it. That was nice. The game have me exactly what I wanted for free
Not even for free you actually get paid for holding it lmao
I've been playing skyrim recently since quarantine. I just got the thief-hunter encounter. Just as he gave me an enchanted mace, he instantly got an arrow through his skull and just fell over, dead. The hunter then came by and asked if I've seen a thief
Obviously I said no and walked off with the mace.
Has anyone else seen that encounter in Solstheim where there’s a wizard that is trying out a spell and it yeets himself into the air? Or was that a fever dream?
I'll touch the sky like a dragon
That happened it’s a reference to the mage who does the same spell in morrowind
I tried to talk to him but he yeeted himself and fell to his death :(
@@joe_whosjoe2189 I know me too :(
Funny thing is that is a throw back to Morrowwind, in a random encounter there was a mage who did the same thing ---> ua-cam.com/video/wWVKMMxCgY4/v-deo.html
I've played skyrim 3000 hours and never met the guy turning into a vampire
Wow I’m really impressed!! 3000 hours!!! That’s so cool, how long have you played? I’ve only got 600 and I’ve been playing around since 2017
@@stego_yeetus8462 I thought I was a fanatic of this game and I only have 660 hours
Can’t tell you how many hours I have played since I’ve played Skyrim on different consoles but it’s been many years, I have not even heard of the encounter.
Some people (like me) play since 2011 xd
@Thug Rose rip I had 350 hours in January alone
My favorite random encounter is when you go by a dragon burial site there’s a small chance Alduin will come by and resurrect the dragon leading to a battle if you want or you can run away from the newly reborn dragon
The random encounter with the thief and the hunter happened to me at a pretty low level, I was trying to snipe a necromancer from a distance while trying to not get hit by him when I suddenly get turned around by the thief. Kind of a jumpscare and I am pretty sure that I died because of it
My favorite iteration of the “fugitive” encounter happened when my illusionist thief character was sneaking around in Halted Stream Camp, muffled and invisible. The fugitive tried to approach me, but the still very much alive bandits in the camp all attacked him and killed him before he could start the conversation with me. Then, a minute later when the hunter approached, they all ganged up on him and murdered him to death too. I was invisible through the whole thing, and it was hilarious to watch.
Then I used Fury spells to get the bandits to kill each other, and just looted everything from everyone. It was a good day. 😀
You! I like your style (Y)
Ok bro, seriously, please teach me how you level your sneaking to such god like epicness. I will bring you all the mead you can bath in
Use the Greybeard glitch.
Go to the Greybeards with an iron dagger. Sneak up behind one while he prays and repeatedly sneak stab his ass with the dagger. As long as he doesn't turn and catch you or you are caught by another Greybeard your sneak will increase fast as fuck. Save often. If caught you will be shouted off the mountain into orbit.
This works best on the hardest difficulty.
@@seb2750 What David said or just get a huge ass mana pool (Would be better if you get a Expert spell cost reduction in Illusion) and cast invisibility while sneaking around. You can play normally while you level up your skills.
Another glitch is... sneak around sleeping Draugrs... the one which sleeps but will wake if you attack or interact with them.
I had my fugitive run up give me the item and he tried to hide behind something just in front me or so only to glitch and kind of vibrate out from behind his hiding spot just enough to get spotted and a fight started between them, I just walked away with the item. The buggy physics in Skyrim can be pretty funny and rewarding at times.
Disguised Bandits: "Uh, stop there, citizen! You need to pay a fine!"
Stormcloaks: "A fine? DAFAQ?!"

I am SCARRED. Scarred, I tell you. XD
I'm surprised they never did more with the Giants. Would've been cool to have some side mission with some Elder Giant that could speak and earn you peace with the other Giant camps
i got the victim of vampirism run up to me when i was with serana omw to castle volkihar and i thought it was part of the quest
First time finding the old orc I totally cut his head off. It was a good death.
Its only out of respect
I feel bad for him
I met him for the first time in solstheim
DragonHeart 12 why? If you didn’t kill him he wouldn’t have went to Malacaths realm (the ashpit) after death. Which is where he wants to be.
I ran into him on a trip to and from Markarth, can a warrior die twice?
I had a few of the "fugitive and hunter" encounters in my current playthrough. I'm already level 60+ and haven't encountered the first dragon yet. Every other time the fugitive gave me the item, it was a new enchantment for me to learn ^^
Once, in another playthrough those "toll takers" came across my way at a cliffside. I payed the "toll" (cause I had about 75k gold) and the "leader" of them was very surprised and let me go. A few seconds later I "Fus-Ro-Dah"-ed them off the cliff.
Haven't met a dragon yet? My first encounter was at lvl 5 in Riverwood. And I didn't have a bow (I never seem to be able to hit anything with them) still won, somehow. Also in that playthough they got attacked literally every time I went there once I was lvl 20+. Six times before Delphine wanted me "prove I was Drogonborn". And it's like, what the hell? I have killed 6 dragons practically on your doorstep, what more do I need to do?
I know this was literally made years ago but I actually remember the fugitive and Hunter and the fugitive will eventually find you and pay you if you still have the stolen item, I remember because I was like oh cool
I’ve seriously been holding onto that thief’s item waiting for him to return my whole play through. Smh
Lol me too
@@gumbowallace me too
I just sold the item immediately, assuming that if he came back i could just take him on.
The thief dose return after awhile. ive had that encounter a handful of times & every time i kill the hunter after telling him i hadnt seen anything, then about 2 to 4 in game days later if you're traveling on the road he'll come back ask for the item and give you 500 gold for holding on to it, the only way the thief wont return is if you let the hunter live, because 75% of the time the hunter catches the thief before you had a chance to fast travel away and kills the thief, ive done this on all versions of skyrim on most platforms Modded and Vanilla (Xbox, PC, PS 3 & 4)

When Skyrim came out on 360 I had 80 hours in game before I realised there was a sprint button.

Also there’s another dialogue option with that infected Hunter if you’ve met the Mage in Morthal (the one who can cure your Vampirism) you can tell him/her to head there and that Mage will be able to help them
It's gotten to the point where I read the upload notifications in your voice. Good job, Nate! Invading my mind.
Invading your mind ?
Ahegao...
Nate is a cognito hazard
I remember when i encountered the false imperials. Funny thing is, they were in front of the bodies, as in, while the fake was talking to me, i could see a body behind him
Jesus H.. lol! You did get me with that "surprise!." I had been jamming guitar along with my bluetooth speaker, took a break and forgot it was still on full volume when I started this video. Thanks!
My favorite random encounter tell me everytime "wait I know you"
"Wait... I know you..." Nah bro, you know my tomato soup, for I am... THE GORMANDAMANDERMON
Then I say “I don’t have time for this, do you?” I have a bounty of like 3000 in falkreath
The old orc is incredibly scary early-game. He usually two-shots my level 10 and below characters.
fusRODA
My first time I played Skyrim I was like level 4 leaving white run and he just destroyed me
For real? By the time I'm level 10 I've usually gotten a high alchemist skill and can kill anything easily by using strong potions on myself and poisons on my weapons.
An old orc is nothing against 20 paralyse poisons.
@@bakersmileyface Real nords dont have time for the alchemist tree, we fight and die almost naked and with a sword in our hands
@@hectorbeltran392 Sounds great and all but it doesn't sound like imperial regulation.
the old orc one is a very common one, ive gotten it every playthrough and even ones that arent meant to be playthroughs but rather mod testing. I think its actually my most seen encounter. Same with my friends they have seen him such much that in playthoughs now if im watching they'll just ignore him since hes almost always found in the first few hours of the game.
Imagine having the orc spawn when you're being chased by a literal dragon and he doesn't die to that, but giving him a good death you just slay him with the OHKO on the first attempt
*guy walks up to you*
“Hold this”
*guy gets shot*
*hunter walks up to you;* “Have you seen anybody run past here?”
*wheeze*

Fake Imperial Soldier: "Pay up citizen"
Cersei Lannister: "I choose violence"
Idk what it is but skyrim to me is like a combination of got and lotr
Omg I was watching this video and right as you started talking about the old orc encounter I ran into it.
I've had every single one of these except for the Bandit toll and the Giants walking back with the cow. I've had the old work in every playthrough as well with the Hunter and Thief multiple times in the same playthrough. It's so interesting how everyone can have such different approaches what these events
The boo scared M'aiq.
It's The M'iaq
I subscribed to you from one of these videos!
And watch your videos
Thank you!
@@SnapplyPie No problem M'aiq we've been on countless comment threads together lmao
It's okay kitty kitty. Dragonborn will protect you!
Good, thats what you get for lying all the time
Recently, I had the Fugitive/Hunter encounter with a twist. I usually just kill the fugitive. This last time before the hunter could talk to me, a cave bear appears and immediately kills him. Kill the cave bear, and loot both fugitive and hunter.
Epic Nate, you have a very calm and soothing voice, and your videos are the perfect content to fall asleep to. Thank you
I had just got the wabbajack when I encountered the old orc, and instead of giving him a good “death”, he is now wandering winterhold as a chicken.
I can never get enough of these videos, thanks Nate!
I've literally walked from whiterun to solitude more than once just to get these kinds of encounters. I love them
3:13 omg that pun was one of your best. It didn't feel very forced, it made me chuckle a little.
Every playthrough I do, I always get the fugitive random encounter. The last time this happened I was staking out some bandits and the poor suckers got themselves killed by said bandits
In my last play through I got it 3 times (not in a row, like 3+ hours between them).
I always wish "Are you sure you want to attack the Dragonborn?" was an option when dealing with people.
Literally have had all 5 happen in every single playthrough I have ever played but only ever met Katrias assistant (the one who supposedly wrote the aetherium wars) once despite completing the mission in every single playthrough
I encountered the fugitive while swimming over the golden estate island, the guy gave me a dwarven armor while being swept away by the current which is fitting and hilarious at the same time considering his dialogue 🤣
that old orc gets me every playthrough on my first trip to whiterun lol
The mercenary that asks you if you want the job, the scared woman, the bandit that wants to rob you, the couple that asks for a donation, the young mage that wants a duel and the traveling nobleman that acts like an A hole.
I remeber one in which small group of vampires dressed up as vigilants of stendar ask you to approach them and after you do it they turn hostile. Also there are dead bodies of real vigilants nearby.
Also, I had my first encounter (that I can recall) with the Fugitive in the hot springs in this playthrough. That was kinda funny.
The uncultured swine probably didn't even undress before getting in.
@@insaincaldo He did not.
Is the fugitive encounter a common one? Because always meet him.
I got this one a lot and not once the false Imperial encounter.
I only got the fugitive once. And my roads are basically filled with imposter imperials, and old orcs.
Mabey there's some sort of seed for random encounters.
I’ve got all of these a couple of times. Except the first one with the hunter needing a potion. Like seriously, never even heard of that one.
During my current gameplay, I have encountered at least 5 orc mercenaries who insult me, I usually defend myself, and then they turn hostile. I’ve never seen so many hands on sight with orcs in one play through
I listen to these while i play haha thank you
We've found Nate's prison cell coordinates in area 51 -- all we've got to do is storm it to free him from Bethesda so he isn't forced to produce content to live and keep Skyrim relevant
Kyle Steele But I want Skyrim to stay alive... and I want Nate to be free...
Todd Howard wants to know your location
@@locoarticwolf2181 Sounds like the stuff 'Top 5 Tough Choices' are made of ;)

"Nope. Haven't seen any weird people 'round these parts" lmao.
Do you mind if I ask, why'd you choose that profile pic?
Seems rather... dangerous.

I've been playing this game for nearly 5 years now and I'm still finding new things, it's insane.
#1 is actually an Easter egg. It's a reference to Paul Bunyan and his ox.
been playing for years and the other night 2 stendar called me out, "come fight the vampires" i ride to them and its a vampire ambush
Yeah, I had that one a few times. I knew what they really were off the bat, but whatever. I was actually saved by a Vigiliant of Stendarr once. I got vampirism from someone, and I didn't want to be a vampire on that particular playthrough. And I was far away from any shrines, also I didn't have any Cure Disease potions either. Later, when I learned that all of them were slaughtered by vampires, I ended up joining the Dawnguard, in that guy's honor. But if I was there, I would have said to Isran's face that not all of them were weak or stupid. Their hearts were in the right place, and I would not be standing here today if it weren't for one of them! But on the other hand, I will not let ANYONE, including you Isran, to harm my bestie Serana. I destroy EVIL vampires, like Harkon, considerable difference!
@@marystone860 "Right after i looted his corpse"
There's a farmer you can encounter who says that he's from Helgen.
"He wouldn't want you _scaring away_ an opponent who could kill him in battle" lol
The old Orc is one of my personal favorites. When I did an Orc Nobleman of War, I gave the Orc a good death and laid his body with his weapons and a small shine and told him, "I would sing of his valor and grand fight." His body eventually went away, the stuff got scattered, but as a casual roleplayer my Orc character took time to honor his tribesmen. Bethesda did amazing with the small details in random encounters.
Reporting this video for scary content. Could give someone a cardiac arrest.
