while i was climbing on a random mountain, as i usually do i check my back for any stealthy enemies. instead i found an imperial courier who wasnt there 15 seconds ago. after i turn my back he ran away. if a courier follows me to a mountain, that means he has some highly valuable things with himself, but he just ran away.
i fear about this. was he bugged? was he going to give me some important letter?
(im at the quest where you must climb to a mountain called throat of the world,i wasnt climbing on it though)
(and i also got a letter from a friend about somewhere named greywood?)

shameless bump

He's just a courier for the army, not every courier has a message for you. He's just there to add flavour (and for you to kill him if you wish).

i hope so,i was climbing a buggy place when i saw him, before he ran away. i hope he wasnt carrying a letter for me
thanks for awnser

Consider a shower next time, then maybe next time he'll approach you
Naw, j/k.. not every courier has a message for you. If you do activate them, they'll just say you're wasting their time.

''not every courier has message for you''

so sometimes couriers carry messages to me then

do they get bugged?

Be careful with couriers, the faction id is sometimes messed up. I caught a stormcloak courier running towards Solitude and immediately thought.. Ha, filthy rebel, up to no good. *Stab*..

Instant Bounty.... I should get a bloody reward!

I was going through a dwarven ruin and I opened a door and a stormcloak courier ran out, he wouldnt talk either. I just thought it was weird
