Encounter of Duplicate Characters in Skyrim

A player recently shared a screenshot showcasing an unusual incident in Skyrim, where they were attacked by three identical bandits outside Bleak Falls Barrow. Although encountering duplicate NPCs is common as players continue their journey, this event represents a rare sighting of a trio of identical characters.

Originally released in 2011, Skyrim introduced new mechanics while retaining many features from its predecessors, resulting in the reuse of character models and assets. Many players have reported spotting duplicate NPCs during their exploration of the vast open world, an echo of the game’s expansive engine. One gamer highlighted their experience by sharing a screenshot of the encounter, prompting discussions in the gaming community regarding NPC variations.

Rare Occurrence of Identical Bandits

In most instances, players typically encounter pairs of identical NPCs like city guards or mages throughout the game. However, users on Reddit have humorously compared the three bandits to iconic trios such as Ed, Edd, and Eddie, or even the Three Amigos. Many imagined the three bandits saying the famous lines, ‘you never should’ve come here’ in unison.

Despite its age, Skyrim continues to receive updates and has a vast library of mods that enhance its replayability, demonstrating the lasting charm of this title in the gaming community.
