You guys got attacked at low levels? I went up over 30 levels between killing the witch, and being attacked by the thugs.

Btw, that Thalmor decree. I actually felt e genuine sense of pride in my character when I read that. One of those 'I love BGS' moments.

IF you kill people, there are repercussions, lol. For me, the assasins really picked up after I did the master criminal trophy. Everywehre I went someone was trying to off me, until I paid up some of the fines, lol. That was quite fun.

I've had the DB send assassins after me. I've had necromancers come after me after doing the Azura's Star quest. I've had contract thugs come after me after pickpocketing things. Theres all sorts of things you can do that will trigger attacks on you.

A few levels back I accidentally shot down an Orc sentry standing in a tower. For whatever reason I thought I was in the right place but I wasn't, so I left before going on an Orc killing spree. Since then I've been attacked by 3 different Orcs on various roads. The weird thing is this: They don't have weapons or armor. They attack me with their fists. I always carry the Gloves of the Pugilist so these attacks are kind of fun; but after awhile I have to just kill them. Lately I'm fond of the incinerate spell so that's how they die. But what a weird occurence.

As for getting attacked by the DB, it's fine; but you can't take their armor, which is lame. Same when getting attacked by thieves.

I have had a DB member come after me at least once. Saw her khajit behind sneaking through the woods from a few paces away. She was not too stealthy, that one.

Why would you want random encounters/attacks to stop? It is fun to know that some powerful individual/group desires your end. Reading the contract on your life, after you have sent your assassins to Sithis, is quite enjoyable as well.

Funny thing.... I started a Nord today (haven't had one since my first, played-the-MQ-now-deleted toon). She had literally done NOTHING. Heading from Riverwood to Whiterun, she was accosted by a DB assassin.... complete with note signed by Astrid.

*boggle* at the total randomness. I should have saved a screenie, I suppose, since someone's likely to call me a liar. But I didn't. Oh well.

What I don't get? Why does the DB just randomly attack you? I find everytime they attack me I never did a THING to them. But someone in Skyrim apparently wants me dead? I really wish you could actually find out WHO!

While I don't honestly care who or why, still it's a puzzle, and simply for that I'd like to know.

I don't believe the DB assassins are really triggered by anything, they are just random encounters that keep happening until you join or eliminate the brotherhood.

Same goes for the thieves, you'll get jumped by a thief every now and then until you decide to join the guid. They have pretty decent light armor though and weapons so I elect to kill them.

On my 1st character I eliminated the DB and on my 2nd one I run it. No random assassination attempts on either.

On my 1st character I didn't join the TG and on my 2nd one I run it. No random robbery attempts on either. I do see random thieves in Riften on my 2nd on every now and then.

Never see random Thalmor hit squads on either, but I tend to Fast Travel as often as possible.

I may not get any robbery attempts on my 1st one because of the Fast Travel.

Latest character, level 53, no stolen items, hadn't ever been to Dragonsreach to start the main quest. No murders. Dark Brotherhood attacked 6 times, no particular reason given in the notes carried by the assassins. Thalmor patrols have attacked 3 times in the wilderness and had Thalmor execution orders to execute the character each time. I believe these are random, not triggered by anything. Either that, or one of the hundreds of slaughtered wildlife, bears, sabrecats, horkers, wolves and such has put out contracts on this character. Or maybe it was the Blue Butterfly or Luna Moth guilds.Or PETA.
