A recent incident in Skyrim took a surprising turn when a player attempted to pickpocket an NPC. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim offers players the ability to customize their gameplay experience, providing various options for approaching different situations. One such option is the ability to play as a thief, with the opportunity to break locks and pickpocket NPCs through a mini-game. Additionally, Skyrim includes a Thieves Guild with its own immersive storyline, allowing players to enhance their thieving abilities. However, during this particular encounter, the outcome was completely unforeseen.
A hilarious clip from a Reddit user named s4477 showcases their mischievous playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. In the video, s4477 decides to engage in some sneaky pickpocketing on an NPC called Thonnir, a resident of the town of Morthal. The player skillfully rummages through Thonnir's belongings, swiping valuable items such as a Silver Ring, a Gold Necklace, a lockpick, the key to his house, and more. Leaving no stone unturned, s4477 even takes a meager sum of 9 gold pieces, adding to their already impressive fortune of 192,461 gold. As a result, poor Thonnir is left with nothing but his modest attire.
Interestingly, right after this incident, Thonnir turns around to pour his heart out to the player about his dire financial situation. He reveals that he is a struggling individual trying to make ends meet in Morthal, desiring to leave the town but finding himself trapped due to his current predicament. The player, albeit feeling a tinge of guilt for robbing Thonnir blind, admits that the act of pickpocketing is undeniably amusing in the vast world of Skyrim.
In the comments section, several gamers draw attention to Thonnir's financial situation, with one fan suggesting that he has endured enough hardships. In a lighthearted manner, one user appreciates s4477 for at least extinguishing the torch, while another player firmly believes that the Dragonborn should never engage in theft in Skyrim. Numerous users advise s4477 to return the items to their rightful place, as it is relatively simple to do so.
While playing Skyrim, gamers have the option to pickpocket various NPCs, but some NPCs offer more valuable items, providing players with greater rewards for their efforts. For those interested in stealing items within the game, it is worth considering pickpocketing named NPCs such as Astrid and Ahtar, as well as Thieves Guild members, skill trainers, jewelry stall owners, and more.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
