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.

The Flying Wizard seems to be a throwback to the Morrowind days. In Morrowind, there is this enchanter/wizard called Tarhiel, which you encounter him falling from the sky near a road not far from the starting point of the game. He has these scrolls that increase your acrobatics by 1000 points.

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.

​@@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. Some have prerequisites though, like finishing a certain quest or having a certain item in your inventory. I think the Challenger wizard only shows up if you have a mage based skill at a certain level, for example.

The false soldiers were fun to bump into the first time, as there had been a sabre cat they'd joined in on fighting with me. I was playing an Imperial (and planned to join the legion) so I was happy to meet what I thought was a small band of Imperials in a random encounter. Then I noticed the bodies. So I figured, to keep the corpses company, the thugs could join them.

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.

[@creegangil439]

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]

@@creegangil439 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.

Seems like ur talking about scripted encounters

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

I've been playing skyrim for over ten years and I still find things that I've never seen before, just amazing!

[@rachmadbagus5440]

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

[@KopperNeoman]

He's very rich.

[@zursca]

Awesome vids as always! Keep making more

5:46 Wait, he’s heading to high rock. Bethesda hinted the next elder scrolls map would consist of both countries of high rock and hammerfell, this could mean only one thing. Todd Howard, you’ve done it again

[@imma5269]

Daggerfall was set in high rock and hammerfell, would be surprised if that was the setting of 6

@@imma5269 modern day Bethesda would never acknowledge Daggerfall, cause people would play it and be like "why the fuck cant you do half of this stuff anymore?"

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

[@Zephirah]

Totally, beautifuly haunting...

[@LAZERAK47V2]

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.

[@Draco1953]

well there seems to be only one I have not encountered. Been playing this game since the first time it came out. Thanks for sharing.

[@anotherguyIoLoLo27]

Goddamit, Jeremy Soule. Why is your music so captivating? OKAY, guess I'll browse Nexus and reinstall Skyrim a 15000 time to see all of these encounters again and hear that soundtrack!

[@SpaceBat83]

good call

[@chupchupman5859]

The flying wizard is surely a reference to Morrowind

[@timothywalker4621]

Considering where it happens, 100%

[@Zephirah]

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

[@TheRealMystermaN]

i love little things like these in videogames!

Poor mage student. Always finds me when I have a follower. He never lives.

[@deaconmontrelljackson1986]

Yep we have all encountered most of these characters

[@julienelson6506]

That took a lot of time to pull together... thank you

[@zsombokiorinc]

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.

[@lizzie-4011]

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

[@spacecookiez67]

I’ve been playing since release on ps3 but a few weeks ago i finally got the Babette cut scene when i was running around as a werewolf. I had no idea it was her until she was like hey! I was like whaaaaaat

[@killertruth186]

It wasn't just only redguard "milk drinker" it can be Nord as well.

That poor flying wizard Dude thought he could fly But he couldn’t even fall with style

I haven't even seen half of these, what a great game

[@ddkong021223]

The lizard ask for 10,000 gold in front of my wizard classmates and the teacher when we are heading to a field trip together. He was so brave but annilhilated.

You can save the flying wizard using either paralysis, or the ice form shout

[@slambobambo4152]

Glad to know I’ve seen all these

[@croissant2882]

An Old Orc is my favorite encounter. I always give him a "burial" with flowers at a nice scenery later

[@ivandelarosa3353]

The vigilants of Stendarr are funny to me. "Cavort with any Daedra, and we will hunt you down" like bitch, I have Cavorted with all of them, i am literally the champion of all the daedric lords, they all given me gifts lol

[@MaritheCreator2001]

I was wearing the daedric armor, had the Dawnbreaker sword in hand and Azuras Star in my inventory and had one say that line. 😂😂

[@privatedino3239]

Talsgar is so good at singing he can make guitar noises with his mouth

[@TheMainlyScrolls]

Played this game off and on for 11 years and I did not know about the flying wizard😂

[@PanzerkampfwagenTigerAusfBTige]

i met some of them like mercenary,hired thug,flying wizard,thalmor escort,joining SC,skaal hunter,imperial escort

[@standingwithukraine2695]

If you are in the imperial army, you can oust those fake soldiers. It's an interesting dialog Also the thief who robs you have different dialog if you are in the guild or the leader after finishing the quest line. I believe the thief will give you stuff if the latter is true

[@PaladinPure]

After I finished the drinking buddy encounter, they just scoffed at me. I thought that was sooo funny haha

[@Gabriel-nv3ib]

I love M'aiq the Lair. Bro is WISE

[@perkitaseaman3290]

A mini of days I can still remember these random encounters they are my favorite thing in Skyrim I love turning making them hostile so they'll attack me I love making them hostile then I can kill them in self-defense
