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!

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!
@@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!
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
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
Bandits: You need to pay a toll by order of the legion Me an Imperial Soldier: Really because I'm part of the legion and I've never seen you before. Do you know mark Bandit: oh yeah, Mark. He's my... ummm cousin Me: Funny because there is no Mark in the imperial army here in Skyrim. You're under arrest Bandits: THE DEAL WENT SOUTH!!!
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.
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
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."
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
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
@@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.
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."
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
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 :)
@@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.

@@marcokonnecke877 I just had it happen to me as I was watching this video. I was doing the Clavicus Vile quest and walking through the little pass by his cave. I then ran into 2 Vampires dressed as Vigilant and they called me over to them.
@@marcokonnecke877 just about. They might do something else if the bodies were further away or I didn't run up to close to them, I think I got to close and it antagonized them
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
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. 😀
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.
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?
Funny thing is that is a throw back to Morrowwind, in a random encounter there was a mage who did the same thing ---> czcams.com/video/wWVKMMxCgY4/video.html
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.
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."*
My character has been mugged by thieves and assassins while in werewolf form several times. I will give credit to those assassins and thieves, they have balls. I also encountered the fugitive while in werewolf form... Yeah... I snitched and told the hunter everything...

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.
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
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.
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)
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
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.
Me: working from home, watching this video while running tests on latest deploy Nate: "... Molag Bal's loving embrace ..." Me: spills water all over the table I am SCARRED. Scarred, I tell you. XD
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
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 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.
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
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
I had this playthrough where the old orc showed up for me on the other side of the stream when I was walking to Riverwood for the first time. I looted Anise's cabin, lured her to the orc, and let them duke it out
That fugitive/hunter double spawn killed me at least twice during my Skyrim life by appearing right in the middle of combat on legendary difficulty and opening dialogue.
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
If I remember correctly, the Old Orc was my very first random encounter. A very cool thing to see right off the bat tbh. Shows races have different beliefs and stuff
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.
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?
5:50 this guy literally found me on the roof of winterhold and just sneaked away to Gods know where, and never came back, leaving me an iron armor of major health
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
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.
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.
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!
My first random encounter ever was a lady in rags running from a bandit camp / cave outside of Whiterun. She asks for help, asking where the nearest city is. If you give it to her, she thanks you and marks where she came from (usually full of bandits), and if you don't.. I don't know what happens. I didn't want to leave her stranded.
Sorry for the jump scare, here's a Discord thing! discord.gg/rMGk5DR

GodlessWolf imagine picking the imperials
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.

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!
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

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
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."

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.

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
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.
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.

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.
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?

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.

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!

If you give it to her, she thanks you and marks where she came from (usually full of bandits), and if you don't.. I don't know what happens. I didn't want to leave her stranded.
