I was at Morthal, stole a book undetected, and then went to Riverwood for the Solitude Main Quest, Then before I got to the Sleeping Giant Inn, HE SICKED 3 THUGS AT ME. CAME HERE, LOOKED THESE THUGS UP, & LOOKED AT THE CONTRACT. WHAT. A. JERK.

well if you are stealing stuff or killing innocents you can expect retribution, but hired thugs and assassins are pretty buggy, they sometimes attack you for nonsensical reasons or just no reason at all, ive had hired thugs sent after me by people ive never even interacted with, same goes with assassins randomly attacking me even after i spoke with astrid and joined the dark brotherhood
I had 3 hired thugs sent after me, killed one and fled because they had enchanted weapons and I was low level (4) and 3 more hired thugs were sent by one of the other hired thugs because I killed a hired thug
Man, I just had the Thug-O-Gram delivery at fekkin' HIGH HROTHGAR. Again, sent by a Dead Guy ! Septimus Signus, this time. He is a pile of ashes ! So now, piles o' ashes are hiring thugs. I think all I took was a bottle of wine or something like that. It was entertaining, however, as I had just returned from watching the Dragons mourn Alduins' passing, and it was my first use of a maximally buffed 'Unrelenting Force' shout. Two of the three thugs died instantly, and the third was easy meat for Erandur.
I know how you feel. I have my own personal vendetta against Honnibrew Mead. I steal it, pickpocket it, etc. In fact, after I was done with that Thieves Guild quest, where you poison the rat nest I had 497 bottles of Honnigbrew Mead. And only 3 days later, 5 contracts.
I got a contract from Sven's mom. SERIOUSLY! Why would his racist mom even care?
I had a dead person send them after me.
Well then.
I got one from a beggar one time. If they have enough money to hire people to kill me, remind me why they are begging for money again.
Yo Dawg, I heard you liked Hired Thugs, well I sent you Hired Thugs from Hired Thugs whom I sent!
Oh boy, well, i was leveling my pickpocket skill with my bard as my usual training dummy, if it fails just reload and try agian. In the end, i didn't get caught once..... cause of all the loading :P However, my bard, WHO LIVES IN MY HOUSE, Send thugs at me, at my own house, they attacked me, while Llewellyn the nightindouche sang rednar the red on my balcony 10 feet away from us. Best, contract, ever.
in Skyrim, you dont smash things, things hire people to smash you.
