The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis stuffed to the brink with quests for players to complete, ranging from main quests to side quests to guild quests to radiant quests and more. There are a variety of ways thatThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimplayers can get these quests, with the main method being talking to specific characters in the game. Another common method thatSkyrimplayers get quests is by reading letters delivered to them by couriers.

Skyrimcourierspursue the Dragonborn across the game’s open world whenever they have a letter that they need to deliver. Oftentimes these letters trigger new quests forSkyrimplayers to complete, and so couriers are rather important characters in the game. Couriers inSkyrimare extremely serious about completing their job, to the point where they will tell the Dragonborn that they’re too busy to talk if they have letters they need to deliver to other characters in the game.

A viral clip on theSkyrimsubreddit, uploaded by user izzysleftfoot, shows just how serious couriers are about delivering their letters and just how relentless they can be in trying to achieve their goals. In the video, a courier is seen chasing theSkyrimplayer aroundRiften, but the Dragonborn doesn’t let them catch up. The courier never gives up, with the Reddit user joking that the courier is needing to reach them about their carriage’s extended warranty.

The video has amassed over 13,000 upvotes at the time of this writing, with manySkyrimplayers finding the courier’s pursuit amusing. It should be noted that is actually against the best interests ofSkyrimplayersif they don’t let the courier catch them, as it will keep them from gaining new quests to complete, stalling their progress.

It will be interesting to see if couriers will return inThe Elder Scrolls 6, which is currently in development in some capacity at Bethesda. The latest rumors suggest thatThe Elder Scrolls 6is still in the pre-production phase, so it may be quite some time before fans get to see the game and even longer to find out about specific gameplay features like couriers.

Well beforeThe Elder Scrolls 6launches,Bethesda will be releasingStarfieldto the masses, with the ambitious open world sci-fi RPG currently scheduled for a July 27, 2025 launch. It seems like it would be more difficult forStarfieldto properly feature a courier gameplay mechanic, but perhaps it will have some kind of futuristic equivalent.Starfieldhas remained shrouded in mystery so far, so fans will just have to wait and see.
