Of the numerous memorable NPCs presented throughout Skyrim, one that practically every player will likely run into during any given playthrough is the courier. Over the course of the game, couriers will track down the player and deliver letters that pertain to certain sidequests or NPCs in Skyrim. Though their presence can get quite annoying, considering that it disrupts active gameplay. However, one player actually managed to make the courier disappear.

Over on Reddit, a user named mrfisher5 posted a gameplay clip where a courier notices the player and starts to chase them. The player then proceeds to run away from the courier for an extended period of time. When the courier finally catches up to the player and the game enters into a dialogue, the courier suddenly disappears off the face of the earth.

While it’s impossible to know how exactly this glitch managed to occur, it is comparably tamer than a lot of the other glitches and bugs presented throughout Skyrim. It’s certainly less strange than seeing a Khajit swimming in mid-air, to name one example, but, interestingly, there are a number of glitches that pertain to the courier in particular.

Just recently, a player encountered a bizarre glitch where they saw the courier rising from the ground, seemingly out of nowhere. It’s moments like this that cause Skyrim fans to latch onto certain NPCs. When these moments occur during active gameplay, combined with the frequency with which players encounter the courier, it makes sense as to why the courier is such a prominent figure among fans of Skyrim.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for The Elder Scrolls series going forward. It’s been almost four years since The Elder Scrolls 6 was officially announced, and there has been little to no additional information regarding the game’s development. It could simply be due to the ongoing development of Starfield, but with any luck, some sort of development update for The Elder Scrolls 6 will be revealed soon.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
