I've met him a least six times in my game, but I do travel on foot everywhere.

Maiq: "I dunno what so special about the shouting people keep talking about, Maiq can shout too if wanted."

something like that.

About 15 times I think. I see him pretty often.

The first time was East of Whiterun. The second-thenth probably outside Dawnstar.

NOW, one strange place I found him was faaaar off the main roads. North Westish of Peryites shrin, there were some kids on the road trying to sell me junk and M'aiq was near them.

I've ran into him a couple of times.

I wonder what Maiq is up to. He seems to be a busy kitten, being all over Skyrim, same as me.

Twice. Once in Winterhold where he dropped two one-liners and refused to talk to me before walking off, and once in Falkreath Hold where he started trekking into the forest. Probably heading to the Falkreath Sanctuary...

Maiq is a sort of Bethesda self-critical, ironic and contradictory awareness i suppose.
Brilliant character indeed.
Of course you can meet him more often if you don't fast travel.

Finally heard Maiq say his name was his father`s name, and his father`s father, etc, etc. Funny cos he never said whenever I saw him before.

Almost like he knew about this thread...

In total, probably about 10 times. How are people getting numbers upwards of 100?

Twice. I once ran into him while playing a "test" character, just as I got out of Bleak Falls. The other time I met him at level 50-something while adventuring around Falkreath.

Only four times (about) with my current character, but I met him once along one road and it was very strange because the poor chap was scared to death. My god, how he was shaking! and there was nothing around, no corpses, no signs of anything that could've happened, no dragon flying by, nothing. I have no reason to believe that he was afraid of my character either. See here:

Today would make the third time since starting the new character.
