Run. Run Like hell. Or, level up and kill the bastards. Your call. EDIT: For more technical help, revert to an earlier Auto-Save. That helped me in some cases. | |
They never go away, even if you do kill them they will always come back eventually with the same "contract" to "Teach you a lesson". | |
so restart then? well, i suppose it's a good thing i'm not that far into it. | |
Don't be a thief if you can't deal with the consequences. You do know the law of saving your game in a Bethesda product, eh? | |
it's been a while since i'd played one of their games, and i'd forgotten. Worst of all, i don't even know what i stole. I left the shop, went back in an hour later, and got attacked. Seriously considering throwing the game out the fucking window. I hate it when i'm forced to start over in a game for something that was a complete accident. | |
Kill... them? I only got them once. Hilariously, they were hired by a Novice Ice Mage that I killed 2 seconds after I tried to pickpocket him, so I'm curious as to how he managed to hire thugs in that time. | |
They only came after me once after I accidentally took a book from the Winterhold College library, I killed them, and I was never bothered again. So I'm guessing you got caught stealing stuff again since the last time... | |
Need a mod that changes the name from "hired thugs" to "hired goons". | |
I got them once. Stole some potions from a shop. An hour or so later they turned up and were speedily dispatched. Found the note and figured this must be a taste of that radiant storytelling thing they were talking about. Went back to the shop owner to see if she had anything to say, but she just treated me like normal. "Excuse me ma'am, did you send three heavily armed individuals to murder me for shoplifting? Because if so, I very sorry th..." | |
I think their disposition changes like those two blacksmiths. I stole some ingots only to be greeted with "seeing you makes my blood boil." Then again I DID go imperial and take over windhelm. So it could be either one. | |
Yeah man.... throw the fucking game out a window! Fuck that shit bro. Who are they to dare highlight things in red and tell you you are stealing shit. It's like so like wrong ya know? Why are we like being punished for like doing things that are wrong? Like who are they to judge us when like we are the ones who the world revolves around?! Super cerial like, lets just cut out the repercussions of our actions. That's like so how the world should be, like ya know? Being forced to like do the wrong thing is totally not your fault. You should sue their asses for being such uptight like, ya know? It's like soo uncool man. Who can keep track of what they do anyways?! It's so super unreasonable, like, ya know, like man? /sarcasm (I just watched my local hockey team lose, don't think I'm being angsty at you for any other reason) It's always best to save early and often when playing games that give you that option. Like, ya know what I'm sayin? | |
Yeah, that too. That's not exactly Radiant Storytelling™'s most shining moment, is it? | |
They tell you where the bounty is from. Go to said town, go to jail, lose 1 minute of your time. Easy solution is easy. Restarting is a loss of much greater time. Seriously, do the sensible thing and just pay the penalty. | |
There you go with your reason and logic again... | |
ok run to somewere were you can go from one side to the other(a river worked for me) and while they have to go around you can just fill them full of arrows or burn them to death:) | |
I just killed the ones that showed up for me. Not exactly sure who the person was I stole from, but the thugs weren't that hard to deal with. And I haven't had any trouble from thugs since. So go ahead and kill them if you can. Don't worry, the guards don't attack you for fighting them. | |
I had them spawn while I was talking with the Greybeards once. Hilarity ensued. | |
Kill the buggers by running and casting flames. | |
I came across them when leaving Solitude. I'm not sure what they were angry about because I steal everything of value. Anyway, I was level 5 or something so I ran non-stop to Whiterun and I never saw them again. | |
I have found them standing near me after a fast travel a few times but they only attacked me the first time. lost their nerve i bet | |
Press the "~`" button (above tab) and type tgm, then press enter. This will put you into god mode. Kill them, rape their corpses, eat their children, deactivate god mode and move on with your life. See, there's no need to throw the game out of the window. | |
Climb on rocks, pummel with ranged weaponry/magic or do hit-and-run tactics. I got killed a few times by them just outside of Whiterun before I even entered the place, so you can imagine the problems I had (especially since the Companions lingering around after the giant attack did NOTHING to help me). | |
I just stabbed 'em. | |
once you kill enough of them to get the dark brotherhood on your ass, they stop. i think | |
The first time I killed the dragon at the tower near Whiterun the Thugs would appear, mid cutscene, and hack me down while I was paralysed by the plot development. It took more than a few tries to get past that point, fighting a running battle against 3 superior warriors while a Whiterun guard chased after us intent on letting me in on the fact that I'm the dragonborn and inadvertently killing me in the process. Bugs! | |
I set myself on fire with my Dark Elf racial ability. They cooked themselves to death. | |
I hate how this is the medieval ages but somehow every item in the world has a GPS tracking device and every shopkeeper magically knows whether an item is stolen or not. If no one sees you take something, it should not be considered stolen | |
Lol'd heartily at the bolded part. Either turn down the difficulty or try to run away and level up a bit. Or does the game have to hold your hand for that? | |
If you are on PC press the button next to 1 (not two ...), click on a thug and type in "kill", then click on the next thug and do the same, repeat until you are good to go. There is a command to kill everything in vicinity but that might be over kill! Could always run to the nearest town ... guards will probably kick there ass. | |
The only problem I have with them is that they get a contract on you, even if they didn't know you stole from them. How could they know if no one was there to see it?
Nope. Guards just go "ooo look, a fight!" and stand there like gormless idiots. But going to town can be helpful. I managed to jump on top of a house roof and shoot them to death. | |
They come up even if you don't have a bounty though. You just have to steal something. Stupidly, mine came after I "stole" something from a dead old hag's house that I had killed earlier. In the middle of nowhere. Yeaaaaaah. | |
Ive never had any trouble killing them at any level... (all these complaints about difficulty are strange... aside from the first dragon, ive never found anything difficult and ive been playing through the whole thing on Master... 4th character so far... almost-naked-2h-warrior, Stealth/Illusion, Pure Mage and Unarmed/Heavy Armour/Khajiit... all been pretty easy... i was shocked when i discovered that Master wasnt the default setting (i looked at the options and switched it by accident before i read them, up to Expert, but i thought id turned it down from Master, so i set it on Master and left it there... hasnt changed since) Adept is pathetically easy... >.> you can just whack stuff with swords willy-nilly and they fall over dead and you still have all your health... Madness!) its annoying that they hire thugs even though they couldnt possibly know it was you... (theyve got nothing to do with bounty btw) ...but its a nice, immersive touch sometimes... particularly the ones you get from killing peoples relatives... Dark Brotherhood assassin contracts on you are great too... but it always begs the question: "why didnt they just tell the guards?" Thugs break a lot as well... sometimes they just follow you around, very closely, as neutral characters with default greeting speech, but you still dont get a bounty for attacking them. EDIT: seems nearly everyone thinks theyre difficult... Thugs where my first experience, id stolen all the soul gems and potions from the junk shop in Winterhold, when she went to the tavern after complaining about her husband. Winterhold was the second city i visited (i walked there... ice wolves were a challenge) as i ignored the main quest and went to "Investigate the College of Winterhold" ...i could not have been higher than level 6, maybe 8? when i saw them for the first time... and i just cut them down with my steel battleaxe... (a steel battleaxe i did not replace until a got them one from the companions about 20 levels later... alongside that, i wore fur armour with steel gloves and boots for RP purposes... barbarian-y...) so its not like i had any kind of equipment advantage... i just dont get it...
this annoys me too... why cant you shove the letter in their face all: "WTF IS THIS!? MY AXE - YOUR NECK, IN 3... 2... 1..."? | |
I got them once courtesy of the innkeeper at Morthal and don't remember stealing anything- hardly need to, unless it's a specific quest item. Killed them with ease, but when I confronted her all I got was "10 gold for a room?". | |
Kill them. Don't give me this "I can't" BS. You're Dohvakin. You're on the path to becoming the Fourth Era's greatest hero. Quit whining and knock some heads together. Don't like that? Well here's something else then. Learn from it. Don't do it again. If you do, be prepared. | |

How do i get them off my case? I don't know what I stole, but I dropped everything in my inventory just in case, didn't get rid of them. I never got the option to pay any bounty. I'm nowhere near tough enough to kill them, so what do I do?
