I'm a bit confused as to why I'm getting assassin, after assassin, after assassin chasing my butt through Skyrim where ever I go. They've got the Dark Brotherhood note on them that says 'someone really wants this person dead' or something along those lines. Problem is....I'm not sure who the hell wants me dead. I've never stolen anything before, nor have I killed anyone (well....that I wasn't ALLOWED to kill)

Maybe Dragurs and Shades have feelings to~ I mean, how many little kiddie Dragurs are now orphaned because I've killed their parents D:

Maybe in his spare time, Alduin just sits in his little dragon hole surrounded by candles and human flesh performing the black sacrament?

Or maybe it's just PETA on my butt for killing so many bears.

I DON'T KNOW.

can someone tell me if there's anything I can do (Or avoid doing) to make them not come after me? They're annoying as sin.

pretty please!

It's because you're a good person and your fame is rising. More and more people will want you dead for whatever reason.

Somebody wants you dead, its as simple as that.

Once I had hired thugs after me because I refused a quest.

I guess you could join them? That'll stop em lol
But people start to get fed up with you if you're a goody-two-shoes, once your fame gets high all sorts of crazies send people after you, not just the DBH xD Bandits, hired goons, mages etc

The Assassin is part of the random encounters.

You know when Lydia says 'I am sworn to carry your burdens..' in that frumpy unhappy voice...

Maybe you shouldn't be using her a packmule? Companion NPCs have feelings too.

unghf, that doesn't sound to good. I'm about 93 hours in and I've only just seen the greybeards...should I expect things to get even worse as the MQ progresses?

I always assumed that it was the Thalmor, who would perceive a Dragonborn human (or a non-pureblood elf) as a threat to their ambitions.

It's a massive conspiracy. They're trying to kill us all!

but I AM a pureborn elf! haha. I'm just a a puny little wood elf though~

You know what...I never used Lydia.

maybe she's all hung up and feeling neglected. And on her period.

ROFLMFAO. I was reading this with Skyrim playing in the background then all of a sudden I'm attacked by an assassin. Coincidence much?

I think its related to you stopping the plot of the Evil dark wizard Keapa, its a whole freaking conspiracy! He secretly funds all the bandits, raiders, the Black-Briar family, He has the night mother bound to him so he can control the DB, he has the thalmor in his [censored] pocket! THE THALMOR. The whole civil war and great war is just so he can get bodies for his army of the damned that will quickly take over all Nirn the PC dosen't stop him. And after Nirn, he moves on to the realms of oblivion, breaking down the walls of reality as he carves his path across the world. How can you even know ehat you do isint in his favor? What if you are just another pawn!?


I have'nt left my house in Solitude in 8 months.

Anyone have some skooma?

FARK. They're looking for me on OTHER peoples games now!

I am so, so, sorry you've been dragged into this D:

It's because you're a good person.

Bad things happen to good people.

Yea some people are saying that they find out who sent them but mine are always not showing any names except Moira( ? ) or Astrid.

It happens if you're a bad person, trust me.

My Nord is an ex-Reaver who preyed primarily on Dunmer refugees and Imperial patrols in Solstheim.

Coming to Skyrim hasn't made him much better. On the plus side, at least he has Daedric artifacts, now. I'm sure that bodes well for the world.

aaah, and here I was thinking Bowser was just trying to capture me to lock me up in tower!

Or that.

I know, I was just trying to be ominous. Like, the reason the assassins are being sent is because the forces of evil seek his demise. Of course, an evil person can just as easily attract such attention.

the high class altmer elves would not risk sending a petty human to assassinate the dragonborn

They sent a Khajiit after me.

That depends on how directly involved they want to become. To risk the ire of the Dragonborn should the attempt fail would be a grave mistake. By working through the Dark Brotherhood, they retain their anonymity.

well you got the ominous part right! I looked over my shoulders after reading the comment, lol.

You can't see me, can you? *grins*
