All Unique Random Encounters In Skyrim

[@totallynotarobot9622]

I like how the thugs dressed as soldiers aren’t even very rude just nervous

[@LAZERAK47V2]

My favourite was the Dark Elf taking everything except the boots. Like, after the armor itself, I'd argue the boots are the most important piece. Imagine walking around the colder parts of Skyrim in bare feet.

​@@Erians777oh, which option is that?

[@hornetgaming250]

​@@Erians777 one other option is if you joined the civil war either as imperials you can say general Tullius didn't put orders here or something along those lines and if you joined the stormcloaks you just tell them off but both will result in them fighting and killing them

Would be cool if you could actually recruit them if you were on your way to a SC controlled fort. "Alright legionaries! Form up!

One time I found the Drinking Revelers literally beating each other to death for no reason. The one that remained alive then gave me a bottle of mead.

[@YouTubecanfuckagoat]

You can get a charmed necklace from that encounter. When he offers you a bottle of Honningbrew, if you have one in your inventory, you can offer it to him & he has a unique response & gives you an amulet that reduces your carry weight restrictions.

I had revelers outside of winterhold get replaced by vampires with the revelers corpses hidden just out of sight using the revelers clothing and act to lure people in to eat.

[@williambartholomew5680]

​@@ThrE3-GeS I've actually had both types of encounters from the reveling drinkers in just one play-through, the more time you spend along the mountains just south of Solitude the more you see them (they must have a high spawn rate there). Once there were 3 fighting until 1 stood then started the normal prompt with me, a week later nearby there were 4 this time all laying dead next to a few dead Thalmor agents and 2 dead wolves - I had just missed whatever encounter they had with each other, one of the revelers had a couple bottles of mead they usually offer and the blessed necklace they always carry. All my other playthroughs with them have just been the standard encounter for them, I think the others are flukes.

Don't fast travel as much, stick to the roads, and don't just ride past everything on your horse. It won't take long to see most of these.

I remember that encounter. And unless I'm mistaken, you had to lead Serana back to Castle Volkihar and accept the Vampire Lord's gift and/or have been contracted with Vampirism before.

The permanent random encounters (before the patch) are Balbus, Old Orc, Frightened Woman, Revelers, Aspiring Mage, Ardwen, and Sigar. Most of the encounters which are shown here are not unique. A unique encounter is when a requirement is met or completed such as Deep-In-His-Cups after A Night to Remember is done.

[@valleyguns2288]

if a requirement is needed to be met then how is it random.

[@biggestbigman4367]

That makes sense. I have a mod that makes these random encounters occur a bit more frequently to liven up the province a bit. Luckily it only effects the appearance of NPCs without a name such as “old Orc” or “frightened woman”. Wouldn’t Ardwen be a unique encounter because it only happens when you’ve completed the Gildergleem? Wouldn’t Sigar also be a unique encounter because he only appears after you become the Champion of Namira?

[@erikochristy]

@@biggestbigman4367 Of course, Ardwen (appears if you take Danica Pure-Spring approach) and Sigar are unique encounters but unlike other unique random encounters, these NPC's are not deleted from the game unless killed. Sigar is very interesting as he is the only NPC you can move into your home in Raven Rock, as long as you move the dead female High Elf there with the dead thrall spell, he will follow. For Ardwen, kindly escort her and the dog all the way near the wagon in front of White Run where she stays for the remainder of the game.

Im glad im not the only one who got absolutely mullered after coming across the mage challenger. Really put me in my place 😂

[@reaperofthings]

In one file I was a Greatsword user, but I also used Alteration for the Flesh spells. As I was leaving Jorvaskrr one time for a Companions mission, the asshole ambushed me, insulted me and proceeded to kill me half a dozen times with Fireball’s. I was not a very happy Dragonborn that day

[@Dorgpoop]

There's one you missed where a wandering Chef called Balbus will tell you that he's collecting ingredients to give to the Gourmet because he's his biggest fan. If you've advanced far enough through the dark brotherhood questline then you can impersonate the gourmet and he'll give you some exotic ingredients, or if you kill him he'll drop a unique named item called Balbus' fork.

Poor Courage even in skyrim he is being told his stupid :(

Stupid dog!

You know you’ve played hundreds of hours of Skyrim when you remember every single encounter in this video. This was really refreshing and fun to see again.

[@goen5601]

About that wizard challenger. I never met him at all until my 4th or 5th playthrough. In which I had no idea what going on and smash him with my sword all the same.

[@idiotscampaigninc]

Be honest guys, was that the first time any of you have heard the Thief's dialogue for giving him the gold?

[@MartinoMarguglio]

Believe if you're in the thieves guild he lets you go, and if you're the guild master he pays you

[@rons3634]

Surprised they didn't include The Traveler. I guess it is because there's no dialogue with him, he just attacks. When you meet the Revelers choose the option to share your Honningbrew mead with them (assuming you have some), they will offer you a necklace that give you a +25 fortify carry weight.

[@czmisfitsfan]

I've gotten Deep In His Cups twice in one playthrough. The second time he came up while I was fighting a dragon which got me killed since his dialog left me frozen while the dragon attacked.

[@sinofren8406]

In the thousands of hours I’ve put into Skyrim. I am shocked to have never seen that one mage shoot up into the sky

[@vespasst2076]

Also if you meet thief in Skyrim while be a member of thief’s guild you can tell him about it and he will free you. Also if you have equipped thief’s guild armor he will give gold to you

Nightingale Armor* not just thieves guild.

Late reply but why not kill them and take everything

Thalmor are just salty a man achieved godhood before they did. Considering they already believe that Altmer are the Tamriel equivalent to angels who got tricked out of immortality by Lorkhan (the god who created men), you can bet your ass they'd be enforcing Talos's worship if he was an Altmer.

[@beingweirdisnormal1404]

I always enjoy coming across the Revelers. They're so friendly & give me a drink for free! They're probably drunk ofc, but I still quite like that interaction. Just some guys wanting to share with a traveler.

The wizard challenger woke up and chose violence😂

[@shaggyleegaming7068]

I was only about level 7 on my second playthrough when I encountered the Old Orc. I felt sympathetic to his plight, and offered to fight him. Holy crap, it was actually a fierce battle! In the end, I think I had maybe 5% hp left when I got my first cinematic of the game, jumping up and stabbing him in the chest! I won't lie, I actually bowed to the old orc.

​​​@@dono2926You just have to be good at staying the right distance away to avoid getting hit, or if you're a mage past level 30 you'll be overpowered anyway. Battles are long but I prefer that.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that instantly died to the challenger lmao

[@zursca]

Awesome vids as always! Keep making more

[@universal_wisdom3416]

When you try to ask the thief, “Does it look like I have gold?” There’s actually a second response if you look raggedy and have little to no armor on with a basic weapon. He says something like, “Now that you mention it, no you don’t. Get out of my sight”

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

How nostalgic.. i wish i could go back to 2011 when i first played this game after getting it on christmas morning 😔

[@Pat315]

I never noticed the sound effects in Solstheim. The same howling from Morrowind.

Totally, beautifuly haunting...

I once encountered skooma dealer with fullset of dragonscale armor, me like, Damn boi, how did you get that, even eorland grey man don't have have stock like that

He's very rich.

[@SleepyGlaive]

If a thief tries to rob you when you’re the leader of the thieves guild, you can grill him for doing it and he gets scared :)

[@chaisekarateka5254]

16:36 impressive how he can mimic the sound of a lute with his mouth while singing

The people of Skyrim are more open-minded about certain things than other people in other places", yes ! Thank you Mai'q !

6:55 a sabre cat attacked when I found this and I thought the mead was poisonous because one of them was dead with. It in his inventory

[@arkhaminmate2263]

I’m remembering an encounter, possibly linked with Dawnguard dlc where a creepy mage vampire approaches you in any random town then attacks after some dialogue from him that I forget now, it was a long time ago.

There's also the theif that stole the magic item and the hunter looking for him and the woman bitten by vampires. Also the Ebony Warrior.

Yesterday I realized you can spare the milkdrinker encounter guy. When he pops the potion and gets downed you can sheath your weapon and he will give up and run away.

[@kb_ix]

that wizard at the end is such a chad. sweeping the snow in minimal clothing, challenges the dragonborn, fucks him up, leaves.

[@ExecutorQ3]

10:50 I actually met those once near the spot where you most likely fight your first giant (near Whiterun). The funny thing is that the giant was there as well, slowly creeping closer and closer and eventually clobbered the Farmer during our conversation. He... did not survived it (nor the giant).
