ASkyrimfan received an unusual inheritance letter, granting them a bunch of gold due to the death of a bandit.The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimfeatures an inheritance system where players get gold pieces if an NPC they befriended dies in the game.
Gamers may not always be aware of the NPC who has passed away, but they receive the sum nonetheless. Players get this gold through a courier, with a letter of inheritance that mentions the total amount. However, this system can sometimes lead to unusual incidents, like when oneSkyrimplayer received a strange inheritance letterthat mentioned their own death. Now, another fan got a bunch of gold pieces from the death of a random bandit, though there might a logical explanation behind these events.

A Reddit user named Produce-Pitiful has shared an inheritance letter informing them of the death of Bandit Marauder Archer. It states that the deceased has given 200 gold pieces to Produce-Pitiful, but 20 from this sum will be taken by the Jarl’s court as tax. The rest of the amount was given to the courier forprompt delivery to the Dragonborn. The Reddit poster seems confused, as the opponent was not even a named NPC and the letter just mentions the category they belonged to before dying. However,Skyrimfans may have a possible explanation for this letter of inheritance.
One user speculates that Produce-Pitiful may have cast a spell on the Bandit Marauder Archer before killing him with a sneak attack. They also mention that it’s not strange for bandits to write such wills, as it looks likeSkyrimfans can also inherit gold from Ash Spawns, enemies that are basically reanimated corpses. Another player supports this theory by stating that Produce-Pitiful may have used thecalm spell on theSkyrimbanditand claimed such events are fairly common.
Fans in the comments section shared funny stories of similar incidents occurring in their playthroughs, with one user receiving an inheritance letter right after they killed an NPC during aDark Brotherhood quest inSkyrim. Gamers also make note of Produce-Pitiful’s name in the game, as the Dragonborn is called Geralt of Rivia, the protagonist ofThe Witcherseries.
There are many ways to get gold inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim,so 180 pieces may not seem that much. Aside from selling crafted weapons or mined ore, players can use a neattrick to make 1 million gold at level one inSkyrim Special Edition.
