I'm sneaking around embershard mine, drop a piece of un-needed armor from my inventory... And a bandit approaches me and politely asks me if he can have it x) lol wtf!

NO WAY!!! lol Being killed by a bucket is the number one WTF in Skryrim but this is pretty close.

A polite bandit? Why didn't he attack you?? I've never had a bandit talk to me instead of attack...

Probably locked him in to the script
Did he fight after?

I've heard other people mention this happening, but have yet to try it myself. But I wonder if two bandits would fight each other over a dropped item?

EDIT: Typos

Oh yeah like if you don't have fury, fus roh dah armor at them

I remember reading somewhere that a guy dropped a diamond on a table in a cave after which two bandits argued over who would take. Eventually they fought to the death for it at which point the guy just one shot the last bandit standing. Took the diamond and their stuff without breaking a sweat as he put it. I can't remember if was on here or somewhere else nor have I ever tried to test it out myself for confirmation on if it works.

I've had Bandits walk up and say "hello" essentially. Then turn and walk away. Infact I believe a whole cave of them did, half a dozen at least. Was weird.

i love [censored] like that sometimes i cant tell if its bugs or intentional because of how well it works like your example. a group of courteous bandits lol what a find

For the record, I murdered all of those friendly bandits.

Hahaha I don't know why, but this made me laugh my ass off

Oddly enough, that sounds like it benefits the game.

I hate how bandits all behave like mindless animals, attacking you on sight. More should interact with the player - some with a hostile tone, others politely.

Lmao.

The friendliest bandit I ever met pulled out his weapon and told me to basically get lost, I stood there and looked at him and it must have been the look I gave him, cos he charged at me, only for me to attempt a FusRoDah, but had Whirlwind equipped, and charged right past him and almost into the cave he was outside.
I now only ever equip the shout when I need to use it, so I usually have nothing equipped, to avoid fails like that.

Of course it's not intentional...

I got this one too LOL
never saw the OP one yet

it's called gameplay depth
