Given the age and continued popularity ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, players have noticed several reoccurring facets presented throughout the game that have since influenced fan culture. Whether it’s certain NPCs or repeated dialogue,Skyrimfans have managed to share a multitude of memes, gameplay clips, and internet creations based on various aspects of the game. However, this most recent clip involves one of the most iconic NPCs inSkyrim.
Of the numerous memorable NPCs presented throughoutSkyrim, one that practically every player will likely run into during any given playthrough isthe courier. Over the course of the game, couriers will track down the player and deliver letters that pertain to certain sidequests or NPCs inSkyrim. 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 throughoutSkyrim. It’s certainly less strange than seeing aKhajit 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 abizarre glitch where they saw the courier rising from the ground, seemingly out of nowhere. It’s moments like this that causeSkyrimfans 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 ofSkyrim.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds forThe Elder Scrollsseries going forward. It’s been almost four years sinceThe Elder Scrolls 6was 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 ofStarfield, but with any luck, some sort of development update forThe Elder Scrolls 6will be revealed soon.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
