I was sent by the Greybeards to a location of a Shout Word. There was an elder dragon sleeping perched on that semi-circular rock construction where the Words are etched. There was also a Named Dragon Priest (with a very nice Mask!) patrolling the area. While i was hiding and pondering the best way to approach the battle to come, i saw sudden commotion. The dragon rose and flew towards a nearby path directly from the other side of where i was sitting/hiding. The Dragon priest followed him, too. Zooming in with the archery perk, i saw a lone figure running. At the beggining he run like he wanted to avoid the monsters, but then he changed his mind and attacked them. The poor soul didn't stand a chance against any of his enemies, let along both of them at the same time. He died shortly. There was nothing i could do to save him. Being a dragonborn, i managed to destroy the dragon and the priest afterwards. Remembering the previous incident, i looked for the body of the stranger. He was an unnamed Imperial Courier. With Skyrim being a land in revolt, there must be a lot of couriers going back and forth with news and orders dispatched. I was really moved by the guy's bravery. I decided to give him a proper burial. I dragged his body up the mountain slope towards the place of the Shout Word. In front of the semi-circular construction there was a large coffin out of which the priest arose when i approached the site. I managed to place the Imperial Courier inside there, with his weapon lying on his chest. It was a difficult thing to do, so it took me a lot of time, but it was time very well spent.

This is a very important statement coming from me, because the more i play the game, the more i discover things that i don't agree with, and i don't mean the occasional bugs. However, a game that allows me to do something like what i did yesterday, holds my eternal respect.

This is what it means to role play, not kill monsters, loot their bodies and buy items.
