8. Skyrim Shopkeepers Send Assassins After The Dragonborn For Stealing Pastries
Were staying with Bethesda now, because theres clearly going to be a morass of moral quandaries when youre able to steal absolutely anything that isnt nailed down. Yet as we all know, theres a way around doing this properly you wait until that persons back is turned, and you pilfer to your hearts content. Some of the more inventive types will even put a bucket on the head of the vendor and just pillage everything. Yet occasionally, you will get rumbled, and bad things occur, usually involving fines. But occasionally, you get a retribution glorious in its perversity. Apparently, the shopkeeper saw you nick a sweetroll before gaily cantering outside, but they choose not to do anything about it at the most logical and effective time. Instead, they snap up the Dark Brotherhood, who will ambush you at some point because why the hell not. The first time it happens, youre actively confused then you realise why it happened, and you start to take it as a necessary risk whenever you choose to pilfer in a shop. Apparently, a five gold penalty isnt enough the people of Skyrim
really like their trinkets, and are willing to send medieval ninjas after you to prove this.
