More like level 3 bandits appearing out of the woods and smugly threatening to mug me when I have armor made by a dwarven hellsmith and am holding the sword of Dragon Agony.
The bandit looks at me and thinks “Yeah. This guy is going to get it.” as he brings up his rusty shiv.
Another stupid form of this is when they level up with you. The bandits sudddenly have armor made of daedra foreskins wielding flaming dragon bone swords and are level 9 gazillion.
Both ruin the immersion but it's easier for me to justify bandits being fucked in the head than it is justifying them having turbo rare shit all of a sudden.
Besides, I ain't givin' it to him. I'm buyin' somethin' for my money. Wanna know what I'm buyin' Ringo?
PUMPKIN What?
JULES Your life. I'm givin' you that money so I don't hafta kill your ass.
Unless it's one on the games where they level with you. Starting area bandits are now wearing crystal armor worth more than all the items in town
Never should've come here
NPC: hey buddy I know you just killed the world ending dragon but my shoe string broke and it would be dangerous to for me to walk to the other side of town to get a replacement string. Can you go get me the string? If you do this for me I give you an item that you have an inventory full of that you won't use because you are saving them all for a tougher fight, even after beating the secret ultra hard boss and the final boss but there might still be a need.
Me: hell yes I'll get your shoe string on the other side of the world if I had to. Don't worry about giving me any money I maxed that out hours ago and can't find anything to spend it on. Sure I'll take the item, you never know when you might land in a fight where a potion that heal 1% saves me. Sorry about not talking to you 100 hours ago your character model looked kind of plain so I didn't think you would have quest for me.
Me: I'll be back in 20 to 30 minutes.
Also me: I know it's only been 48 seconds, but I'm back with 2 shoelaces because, ya know, just in case.
