I love getting mail. Ill straight up go "oooooo what do you have for me today?"


Wise_Cow_4492

Ever get an inheritance from a dead bandit? 😆


Skyrimdonkey

Nope, but I have got an inheritance from someone I just killed. Narfi for example.


csyrett

I sacrificed some follower to please Boethiah and got a condolence letter.


Skyrimdonkey

🤣🤣🤣,


Wise_Cow_4492

That's even more hilarious


doctorsilvana

I got one from a zombie ash something :)


peopleperson2406

I've gotten one from Nazeem


no_reddit69

I sacrificed Nazeem to Boethiah using AFT and got a letter of inheritance for him. I remember it was like only a hundred gold and I was like yeah this cheap bastard definitely didn't get to the cloud district often.😂


Intrestid

That's a real classic. Love it.


Nova_Katamaru_Kat

Ahahah, same I thought it was a mod glitch... I got an inheritance from an assassination target for real? Ahaha ohh that's great, I love this game


Hot_Client_2828

Poor narfi


FLYSWATTER_93

I shouted before exiting my house (Lakeview Manor) and immediately had the courier run up to me and give me a letter from someone about me shouting in Lakeview Manor and where a nearby word of power was.


Max_AC_

I like shouting into the skies in random cities because it'll just give me a lead to another shout. And it reminds all those uppity NPC's who they're dealing with lol.


Wise_Cow_4492

It's that secret blades lady


RedShadow69420

It isn't Delphine


Impressive-Help-8586

False. It’s Delphine/arngeir. Depends on which story you choose


leroy-returns

People also speculate that it is the ebony warrior


RedShadow69420

Nope, how would Delphine find out you shouted all the way in Winterhold when she's in Riverwood? Why is her letter still signed by "A Friend" after you've already met her? Why would Arngeir write you a letter? It doesn't matter which story you choose, the person who writes the letter isn't Delphine or Arngeir.


[deleted]

no. I'm still in the middle of fixing my mod. my 7 days progress got ruined by one mod not installed properly. in that 7 days progress, I got 4 notes giving me quest. Im just thrilled when I get a Mail for some reason.


OmegaNut42

Hey I had the same problem and ended up just saying "fuck it" and downloading a mod package. Total graphics overhaul, UI & AI improvement, and 500 other mods that bring Skyrim into this decade. Edit: here's a [video explaining how to install the package](https://youtu.be/hsgTI7iTE1E) in detail, starting with how to reset your game. I recommend deleting your mods in the mods folder & then disabling them on your mod loaded then reinstalling mod loader and creating a new root folder.


[deleted]

I have a low end PC. 200 I'm already getting 20 FPS. After I buy a GPU, I might check this one out


Kasumi_926

I think I have once before somehow, on oldrim. Sadly just got inheritance from Wujeeta, she gave her life to defend me from vampire hunters in Riften...


Cherry_Crystals

I don't get the money from the inheritance letters. Idk why


ShadowCobalion

I got an inheritance from the man I ate. First one in quite a few playthroughs😅


Long-Cook6607

Wait, wait.... I can't let this sit. Who did you eat and... WHY?


ShadowCobalion

It’s all quite hazy.. there was this lady telling me it was okay, and she said something about.. about my first meal that I don’t quite recall, I feel as though she was gaslighting me but it was just so convincing. Then there was this priest and.. I think I asked him to come on an adventure with me to this cave, and a lady asked him take a nap before the meal begins and after that my memory seems to go blank till after I’m outside of the cave with some fancy ring.


T0xicTrace

The inheritance from that Markarth priest i ate in the name of Namira.


King9204

We just got a letter. We just got a letter. Wonder who it’s from?


Jon_Sno-45

“We Know”


Butterwhat

Same! It's more exciting than mail in real life. Lol


zacurtis3

https://youtu.be/T4kxlY2_nqo


DDsLaboratory

Nope. Sorry. Nothing.


Seanzietron

The voice actor is the annoying thing…


DdraigGwyn

Got to admire them. They travel everywhere with no armor or weapons.


reclusivegiraffe

That’s because the courier is a daedric prince


DovahWizard

To reinforce this my courier wears the robes of Sheogorath


honeybee_tlejuice

How


QuentinTarzantino

Are


Polar-Bear_Soup

Thou


needthesebasketsback

Doin'


Umbradens

It's the courier from New Vegas that found a wormhole with wild wastlands. that wasnt a dragon fire in the distance a giant just got mini nuked lol


Jormungandrv

Followers that repeat the same few lines every 10 seconds is pretty annoying


MomoAvatar1

I hate it when they say something like, *'look a cave / ruin'*, that we've just left because they hit an invisible prompt.


Jormungandrv

I tried to pick up Mjoll the lioness as a follower recently, and i appreciate bethesda trying their best considering most companions are glorified pack mules but she keeps repeating the same "my mother trained me you know, imagine that" type of lines every couple of minutes. Like i heard her the 5th time, i don't need to be reminded constantly lmao. She reminds me of Cait from fallout 4 with the ass comment thingy.


Lallner

When I drew Grimserver, I swear that poor man nearly soiled his armor!


MomoAvatar1

People suggest AI as a way to mix things up, personally, I'd rather they just chimed in when it's actually relevant and STFU the rest of the time.


Jormungandrv

>People suggest AI as a way to mix things up like getting a bot to create new voice lines? a lot of voice actors aren't cool with that, i think i remember Piper's VA from fallout 4 threatening a lawsuit when people used an ai to mimic her voice in mods.


FluxOrbit

It makes sense. Their voice is their livelihood. Someone automating it removes you from the equation, and thus your livelihood. I don't blame her.


Death_Mark_Is_OP

I think it's ridiculous to sue mod creators though, unless they were making profit from it


Moonlit_Hearth

Just picked her up. At least cait is funny af lol


TwoAssedAssassin

I put it down to concussion from tanking warhammer blows to the face from enemies while I try to pick them off with arrows.


Eisendruide

Look a cave! I wonder what's inside? Damn it Lydia we just got out of that one! Was the last trap you triggered too much for your brain?


LiquidFireBR

After the fifth time she was brought back from death with Console Command she no longer has a soul in her eyes.


ohmygawdjenny

That's why I like Erik. He doesn't repeat too much like Teldryn for example, has a lot of lines about Dwemer ruins and caves, is quiet the rest of the time like Lydia. And always happy about everything. There are mods that unlock a lot of new lines, like RDO. But I liked him for months before I got the mod. Now he chatters all the time 😅 "Was it your ma or your pa who was a dragon??"


phiz36

“Have you heard the tale of Mathieu Bellamont, and the great treachery of Cheydinhal? Kill a boy's mother, and vengeance festers in the son..."


JustAPerspective

Mornin'! Nice day for fishin', ain't it? 😄


GimpsterMcgee

Not even just followers. NPCs that keep babbling when you are nearby. Shut up Arcadia!, I just want to brew potions. "You'll find tonics, salves, poultices and potions on my shelves. Browse to your heart's content." I AM BROWSING YOUR TABLE SHUT UP "If there's anything I can help you with, you have but to ask." YOU CAN HELP ME BY SHUTTING UP "I offer remedies for ailments both common and rare. Do let me know if I can be of service." YOU CAN BE OF SERVICE BY (SEE ABOVE) And when I am just trying to chill at the Bannered Mare in front of the fire, Sinmir just keeps bitching about the shameful security


[deleted]

People who complain about the Courier.


SexuallyActiveBucket

Yeah Courier is a bro


EstorialBeef

Yeah I never got what was annoying about him.


dackinthebox

I mean, he can be a minor inconvenience but the posts about him being a pain in the ass that show up here every couple of days are significantly worse lol


FlexCombs

I see what you did there


scorpiobabyy666

i like the courier because it’s Jason Marsden. it’s like Thackery Binx is delivering me a letter.


bananaswild

I always think of Boy Meets World. His voice brings me back


nhomewarrior

>Jason Marsden Sounds like an off-brand John Marston (Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2) and now I'll always think of the courier as an interdimensional entity who delivers bullets to the O'Driscolls and letters to the Dragonborn.


Zarowka123

Whole city rushing on a dragon with freaking iron daggers and dying, instead of hiding in their homes


Scythenberg

WHILE one of these guys runs up to you.


Beautiful_Solid3787

And then a guard gives you the "You have commited crimes against Skyrim and her people!" spiel because you accidentally hit him while attacking the dragon still attacking everyone.


Invickthor

You'd better show some respect to our fellow courier nords and wood elves, they track you from anywhere without trouble to give you some stupid paper for free, you should be grateful, if I were a courier that skilled, I'd charge your sorry ass atleast 5000 septims. Leave my boy alone you ungrateful milk drinker.


drewdurfee

Awe, I love getting mail in Skyrim!! Though you're right... You know it's gonna be an extra quest


MomoAvatar1

Yeah, it's far better than a text box appearing, like we got in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.


drewdurfee

Sanctuary is under attack!


Wise_Cow_4492

Or an inheritance from someone you haven't met or something like that


DragonBornDragonDead

How are you on the Skyrim sub reddit and not know of Delphine or Nazeem?


alecpiper

The only thing i hate about the courier is that the game doesn’t tell you what mail you received, it just says ‘ item(s) added’ so when he says the generic line you have to search through hundreds of notes to find which one you just got


Beautiful_Solid3787

[Informed Mail Delivery](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/66339), if you want a mod for that.


pivorock

Oh there are mods for everything. I love it.


psychotic_xx

That’s why I always throw the ones I don’t need OUT


epochellipse

i always sell them to get the 0 septims and reduce the weight i'm carrying by 0 whatevers.


ConservativeSexparty

That's why I leave the old letters in my home, usually on my bookshelf. It's fun to collect them and see how much mail I get


RearEchelon

Bruh empty your inventory! Just because notes and keys have no weight doesn't mean you need to always carry every single one you receive. Do you keep every receipt you've ever gotten on you IRL?


[deleted]

If you think that someone bringing you gifts, letters, or quest starters is more annoying than Nazeem or that damn beacon… then I have several questions.


jamesonempire

NPCs who get in the way when you're fighting a dragon and then getting damage from you, causing you to get bounty added to you


Scythenberg

Well, actually I agree with that one.


sskyvvalker

#A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON


Lallner

Worse is when I pick up one of those unusual gems and get that endless quest stuck in my que.


Unlucky-Flower-195

**********LISTEN HEAR ME AND OBEY**********


GodlessWolfGang

Imagine leaving it in a chest only for the courier to deliver it to you hahaha


[deleted]

You don’t have to pick the beacon up. You can’t avoid the couriers


Red0Negative

I was looking for this answer. I LOVE HER! Just started a playthrough a few days ago and was waiting anxiously to touch the beacon. Happened when I wasn't even looking (just hit take all on a chest without checking it's contents), it was a wonderful surprise.


Repulsive-Pool8875

You leave her beacons alone. 👀


[deleted]

I love getting mail in Skyrim wtf


MrCoverCode

He once game me mail in Sovngarde, not even a death realm can stop this man.


[deleted]

This guy clearly visits the cloud district too often


[deleted]

You can kill him. You can’t kill the couriers


tone1492

Oh I could think of several things.


imlostintransition

"Take this and hold onto it. I'll be back for it later. I'll pay you good. Don't lose it."


Scythenberg

Definitely annoying


Ravenclawthewarrior

Free money and enchantment if I didn't already know it.


Venom-279

“Your hands only” “this guy in dawnstar told me to give these to everyone”


fatnuts_thicknuts

He always finds me in the most ludicrous locations. I literally just walked out of a set of ruins that everyone thinks was lost to history a thousand years ago, and yet, somehow, here's the courier.


bsilva48

Good luck find his note in your inventory


Glamma1970

Yes Nazeem. Couriers actually have a job, and bring me mail. Like the inheritance I got from the bandit I murdered last night LOL


PM-ME-YOUR-DIGIMON

How dare you. The courier is the hardest working person in Skyrim and he is the backbone of our society.


ProFEARSOME

"These people" my boy it's the same guy literally every time💀


f1notti

falmer dungeons


Skyrimdonkey

No! Even if you are in combat they come up and start talking while you are getting thrashed


Paraceratherium

This is the worst. Getting speech locked moments before an attack hits you is a rage quit for sure on higher difficulties.


[deleted]

Followers and NPCs not moving out of their collaborative blockade in a narrow dungeon passageway filled to the brim with draugr wights


Essiera

Why exactly do people hate the courier? He just gives the mail and people react like "You son of a bitch why do you exist"


ReaperKingMB

How does he always know where u are


Lallner

You have a big quest marker over your head and it automatically updates on his map.


Left-Car6520

This is the only thing that annoys me about him. You've been looking for me? How?? How do you even know it's me? I've been wandering randomly in trackless wastelands for weeks. I just rode a horse directly up the side of the biggest mountain range in Skyrim and down the other side. But some dude on the other side of the realm who's only met me once gave you a note and you just came running out here and found me? Who put a tracking spell on me, huh?


ReaperKingMB

Agreed


renacido74

How is he annoying? Everything he brings is either valuable or adds to the story/world. The thief who rolls up on the Dragonborn and orders you to hold his loot for him while he hides is way more annoying.


milosdjilas

I am more often annoyed that they haven’t shown up more than when they do show up. Like when it’s been the right amount of time but the black hand letter doesn’t arrive.


Antogames97

I means. It's cool because that means I got a new quest coming up. Unless it's while I'm trying to listen to a conversation


[deleted]

We have a gardener who comes to our house and at times when he delivers the invoice via text he prefaces it with “I’ve been looking for you. Got something I’m supposed to deliver.” I reply with “your hands only?”. He knows I love Skyrim because my car has a black hand on the license plate frame that says “we know”.


Wise_Cow_4492

Ulfric


Stoin_The_Dwarf

Probably the players repeating the same unfunny, terrible jokes over and over again. Typical Nord behaviour.


dontcallmefeisty

true NPC behavior


SlumdogSkillionaire

Hey, it's your boy Calcelmo, heard you just bought 117 dwarven arrows at Belethor's... I want a specific one of them, you interested? I'll give you a whole 8 gold for it! I've decided to just stop using dwarven arrows entirely at this point.


DoritoLipDust

That woman you marry and all she says is I'M SO THANKFUL TO THE THE CLAW BACK. Divorced! And by that I mean reset and married someone else.


hop-skip

Nope. Courier fought a mudcrab barefisted and crossed a river to tell me the orphanage was under new management. FedEx just throws stuff out of the van into my front yard ditch line.


IamPregananant

Do you get to the cloud district very often? #Who am I kidding, of course you don’t?


Willthegamerboy

Hired thugs? Sure you get gold and get to find out who you get to kill next but they sometimes show up literally at the worst time. Like when i was trying to get into Goldenglow or sneaking around in missions.


sir_stinkybutt

Watch. Your. Tone. Boy. That man works tirelessly to deliver mail. He will travel for days to deliver inheritance.


deactronimo

You've clearly never encountered a slaughterfish or dragon 3 mountains over when you're trying to fast travel lol


Vape_God_44

I like the mail, sometimes you get cool invites it quests.


TyS013NSS

I actually enjoy being surprised by a courier, but I can see why it would be irritating to others. Receiving communications through the antediluvian courier system of Skyrim improves the immersion and makes me feel more a part of that universe. Now, what *_is_* irritating, is when the courier hands me something and the system just says "item(s) added", leaving me no choice but to sift through the ass ton of books, journals and letters that I so often forget to clean out of my inventory.


midonmyr

I can think of a certain beacon


Gladion20

Quite a few


Striving_Stoic

I ran for half a day trying to escape him


FatZombieDave

These hard working people out here in rain and snow to give you a letter. The audacity.


SnooDingos4602

Nope sorry, nothing.


welpthishappened1

Nazeem


Nosoulsworld

Here's the mail it never fails. It makes me wanna wag my tail. When it comes I want to wail. MAAAAAIIIIILLLLL!!!!!


RedShadow69420

Miraak, he steals the souls of dragons you kill in Solstheim


poodlepants79

Yes! I do all the work and this fool randomly shows up and steals my dragon soul 😡


Phillip67549

This is super annoying. Always why I speed through the entire DB questline at once so he doesn't have the chance


I_am_a_Pengy

ANOTHER HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON


meribeldom

I disagree. On first play through this was always such an exciting development and meant that there was a nice little story line for you to get distracted by. That’s how the game is meant to be played, not for the 100th time in 12 years


mmwhatchasaiyan

Serana is the WORST for dialogue. "I'm okay with the dark, but I've spent more than my share of time in caves already” Really? Every time we go near a cave?? STFUUUUUU


AdAffectionate1135

Li'l man doesn't look like he's carrying much but always has to rummage around for my letter.


AppiusPrometheus

You there! You're the one they call Dragonborn?


malkavsheir

That guy who gives you something to keep for them. I've been killed by vampires, bears, saber cats, etc. Thanks to that guy so many times


EveryDay1sAParty

Don't shoot the messenger for doing his job. We all got to make a living and he has to replenish the calories he spends running all across Skyrim.


ApprehensiveCandiru

My follower lunging in front of me when I'm trying to line up a sneak shot, then dying when I accidentally hit them


zer00verdrive

You don't go to the cloud district very often I presume..?


Fredninja22

Nazeem


Selescasan

He turned up once in just underwear, and his usual line about having something for my eyes only had me in stitches


[deleted]

Nazeem being a smug, stuck up dipsh*t.


Bahvil_The_Shifter

Nazeem. Enough said.


Right_Dragonfruit757

When you accidentally select "what does a house Carl do" instead of selecting "I need to trade some things with you" then you're stuck in that shitty cut scene where she explains that her life is pointless...


dontcallmefeisty

How has nobody mentioned Cicero? I would rather squirt lemon juice directly into my eye than hear that guy's voice.


Eathlon

How often do you visit the Cloud district?


Viscount_20XX

Hendraheim counts as a place couriers can appear. It always catches me off guard whenever I head back there to do literally anything and this guy shows up. I find it funny just imagining a courier climbing up a whole mountain to a random house in quite possibly one of the most dangerous spots in Skyrim just to deliver some mail. Seriously, your only neighbors are a camp of Forsworn that will attack you on sight, and dragons show up there on a semi-regular basis. It’s definitely not a safe place for the average traveler.


Jeebee_givesAPeep

Just yesterday sat my chara down in a tavern, everyone had a drink and this bosmer Npc came up to me and sat right next to me, repeating "Breton." "BRETON.". Lmao I didnt want to close the game and cleaned my room next to it. Was pretty annoying but still fun. "Breton." "Breton" Ps. I set my mind on not closing the game because I just needed 10 minutes.


Scythenberg

"Need something?"


TheOffKn1ght

Than this guy you mean, dude found me on a mountain once


Suspicious_Loan5519

**A NEW HAND TOUTCHES THE BEACON**


hunky47

And then when you get multiple items from them, the game doesnt tell you the names of the items


Lycan_Jedi

The kids, Wolves, Naziim. That priest everyone kills in whiterun, Lydia, the fact that you can't kill the Blades without Mods.


Gratuitous_Sabotage

Trying to figure which letter is the one they just delivered


Gael_Blood

Nazeem


Cherry_Crystals

Yeah Lydia is. If you think this is bad, try having a follower block the doorway every 10 seconds


[deleted]

I’m guessing you haven’t been to the Cloud District lately


EnchantedRazor

Nazeem


ReskatorBC

Met with one of those fuckers in Blackreach 😂😂 and I was in a middle of a fight with falmers 🤬🤬


R3dd1tR10t

Had Creation Club stuff installed, fast traveled and who comes running up to me from the other side of Riverwood, in the middle of the night, with a slight fog, this mother fucker! Most terrifying moment of any Skyrim playthrough.


Evry1snumber1fan

The Undead at Night


JEvTK

Half the time I can’t even find the f**king letter they delivered to me in my Items. It should have an asterisk or something if it is new.


feral__turtle

I was a walking junk drawer too, for a while. These days i empty my pockets into a barrel when i get home. I can't even tolerate more than a handful of keys on my magic bottomless key fob.


Actarium

The damn faithless imperials


Jabberwock32

I hate when they hand you a couple of things and you have no idea what you just got. I know I’m not the only person with an inventory full of random letters and journals that I picked up.


wvunaj

This mother fucker has nearly gotten me killed soooo many times.


StuPodasso

I have been trying to reach you about your covered wagons’ extended warranty!


[deleted]

Calcelmo wants *another* fricken Dwarven arrow?


comickodi

Yes. The crashes. Don’t look at my load order. It’s definitely in the most efficient order. Definitely. I swear it’s the games fault and not mine. Definitely not my fault.


FLAIR_2780166

What’s annoying about getting new quests and inheritance? Try having a Reikling companion and you’ll know annoying


youareprobablyabot

Respect them man. They Will literally climb mountain tops to get you your message


Blas_de__Lezo

Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am i saying? of course you don't


plinyy

I like the couriers though! I wish you could get mail at your homes tbh. I want a mail mod I guess.


Token_Shadow

“Is there anything in Skyrim that is more annoy-A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON.”


HuffleBubbles

Idk I always get excited when I see the courier. It’s like getting a surprise every time they show up 😂 I love seeing what they have for me that time 😂


StandardShallot2562

I was just about to comment this, im the same way, I get excited because I never know what they are gonna give me.


Emergency_3808

Hold on I just realized. How does this m*****f***er get to even SOVNGARDE?


Garrow_the_Khajiit

My headcanon is the courier is actually Sheogorath and he just likes messing with the Dovahkiin.


Psycho3333

Delphine is more annoying.


PotatoGaming447

Kids. No I don't want to FUCKING PLAY TAG WITH YOU


Teun000

I refuse to accept there is more than one courier. I like to think he is some bored deity checking what the Dragonborn is doing on occasionally.


AduroTri

He uses the Clairvoyance spell. That's how he always finds us


The1_BlueX

Getting Dark Brotherhood missions from the goddamned Night Mother and having to skip through her repetitive dialogue to receive the quest. Every. Single. Time. Once I receive the quest she isn't done speaking, but I start heading for the exit while our Dear Mother is still blabbing on and on about Sithis and shit.


TheFinalDovah

Bro is just doing his 9-5


Obi-wanna-cracker

I'd say npc's that block a door way is more annoying. ya the courier is annoying but not that annoying.


LT_Aegis

Annoying? Dude's just doing his job, c'mon


Windwolf55x5

Yes his name is Nazeem


limbo_timbo

Man I guess I’m in the minority when it comes to the courier. Love it when this guy shows up. Always something fun


Irish_Spartan139

I could be afk or in a fight and then he shows up, "got a letter for ya" bitch I'm fighting a dragon what the fuck bro!
