Glarthir being creepier than usual

Post » Thu Aug 28, 2014 5:45 am

My new character Clara-Maria Rox, who is doing the Fighters Guild (I retired my Breton when she had become the Gray Fox), was in Skingrad to complete Maglir's contract. When she left the town and headed for Fallen Rock Cave, she heard someone say "pssst" behind her, but ignored it. When she returned in the evening, a Bosmer was waiting outside the gates, saying "Psst! You! Yes, you!" She didn't want to talk to this suspicious individual who seemed to have been waiting all day for her, but the Bosmer hurried after her. "You! Yes, you! I need to talk to you!"

He didn't follow her when she went into the inn to speak with Maglir, and so she thought he had taken the hint and wandered off. But in the small hours of the morning Clara-Maria Rox was abruptly awakened by a voice: "Meet me behind the chapel at midnight!"

Waiting for a girl all day outside the city gates and then when she clearly shows she doesn't want to talk with him, break into her room when she is sleeping, and asking her to meet him behind the chapel at midnight! :ahhh:

Has anyone of you been harassed by an NPC like this?

The Fighters Guild porters are who I find most harassing. I mainly play female characters and they seriously disturb me. And not just the porters. My characters have often woken up to find several Fighters Guild members near her bed, watching her sleep. I stopped letting my characters sleep in Fighters Guild long ago, not because it might bother my characters, but because it bothers me.

I've also had Glarthir follow one of my characters outside the city gates. When this happens I let him get it over with. For my own sanity I am forced to use player knowledge, not character knowledge. I know he will pursue my character forever, even if my character doesn't.

Best thing to do with Glarthir is just talk to him once and get it out of the way because he will track you down. Believe me I have tried avoiding him many times and it really cannot be done.

Regarding the creepiness of people watching you sleep, I have never noticed it in the fighter guildhalls, but those places mostly have big rooms with bunks where everyone sleeps in a common room, so I guess I never had any expectation of privacy there. Where I have noticed it is in the room in Aleswell, which is supposed to be a private room, but I've had countless NPCs wandering through at all hours of the night maing all sorts of racket when my character was trying to sleep.

Hah yea, the Fighters Guild is the worse in my opinion when it comes to creepy NPCs. I mean imagine my young Orc guy waking up in the middle of the night to see several creepy middle age men looking at him and smiling!

Lol. I just had a flash back to Eddie Murphy's Mr. T impression from the 1980s . . .

Hah, I remember that one!

I think the NPC that has been creepier has been Azzan, think the guy has a crush on my Orc, no matter which bed he sleeps in Azzan will always be there! More than a few times my Orc woke up with Azzan sleeping besides him and the rest of the fighters guild in the room, staring and smiling at them.

I'm scared.

To paraphrase Mr Murphy, Azzan must think your Orc looks mighty fine in them greaves . . .
