Well I needed some gold to buy the house in white run, so I pick pocketed a bit on my assassin/thief. Now a white run guard has put a contract out on me. 3 hired thugs tried to get the jump on me. Now the guards know nothing of this, and don't do anything when I'm attackd. Which is fine, I took them out. Just wondering if they are going to keep coming, or if this is it for this wave? I'd like to know which guard so I could take him out. But that won't happen till mods I'm sure

I had a dark brotherhood assassin (not one of the regulars from the hideout) try to kill me. After dispatching her and searching the corpse i found a dark brotherhood contract to kill me...even spelling out my name. To make things more fun, this all happened while i was a member of the dark brotherhood. LOL

on my bosmer assassin i pickpocketed a sweetroll from a farmer on a farm near whiterun.
later on hired thugs are after me.

Yeah same thing with me, I pick pocketed a letter off a Courier and later on found a Contract on the Hired Thugs signed...wait for it, Courier.

Kinda ticked me off actually, I did not get caught, just more psychic NPC [censored].

Stop stealing. Simple. I do personally enjoy them but I don't provoke them intentionally. They carry some good loot if you manage to slay them all.

Im preety hated to, i think ive had a group of thugs attack me 2 or 3 times and i think 3 or 4 dark brotherhood assassins, all with contracts, ive made someone mad lol, and I dont steal all that much

Nazeem's wife sent some thugs after me after I sent him to Cloud District.

i HATE nazeem.
he is as bad as the trolling children

I killed a guy, then took something from his house, next thing I know there are thugs after me...

Apparently he could contact them from the afterlife :/

I had two Dark Bro Hood asses try to kill me. They both had the generic note on them. I think is is a random encounter that does not take into account the character's history in the game.

This is a scripted event for some reason. It happens to everyone if you don't live a 100% pure life. I've had it happen to 2 characters now, and it didn't occur to me until after I killed them the second time that maybe I should have let one live and questioned them. It may start a quest or inform the player of something.

Yeah I like it. Just wondering if the same person sends multiple contracts. I don't mind if they are psychic to a point. If I was just in someone's house and they noticed something gone after I left, I think it's fair to assume.

Hope there is a mod to confront the person, or show the guards/jarl and be allowed to kill the person should you choose. Or jail them, or beat them.

happened only once for me... some BAttle-born sent them after me,... but they got dispatched, and since then i have my piece of mind back

I stole something from that old woman in the first city (Hilda or something) and she sent 3 hired thugs to beat me up... That's one hardcoe old lady..

Make her your wife

Alvor from Riverwood set three thugs my way for lifting a single steel ingot (worth 20 gold) to sharpen my sword with.

They are a nice touch but at low level I found that they were about 10 times harder to kill than the average dragon which seems a little off - level scaling in full force.

Like you I didn't like the fact that they are psychic and if you go and confront the NPC who hired them it's as if nothing has happened.

I went upstairs in Belethors store, and looked around, he ran after me upstairs, I went down, and walked out, sometime later three thugs tried to kill me, and it was Belethor who send them after me.
So, after killing them, I went to Belethor, and killed him, I also killed his friend or whatever that other guy is.
Belethors store is now empty.

Yeah they are pretty tough, but hard is good.

I can't imagine asses are very good at fighting. Didn't know there were any donkeys in the Dark Brotherhood either, come to think of it.


But yeah, the inhabitants of Skyrim seem to have plenty of money around to pay for hired thugs... I wonder where they keep it. Hmmm. :confused:

I was attacked by the 3 thugs while being chased by 2 random dark elves in eleven armor. 5 guys is a challenge. But made about 1k in gold from armor, and upgraded my light armor from imperial to elven
