More like level 3 bandits appearing out of the woods and smugly threatening to mug me when I have armor made by a dwarven hellsmith and am holding the sword of Dragon Agony.

The bandit looks at me and thinks “Yeah. This guy is going to get it.” as he brings up his rusty shiv.

Another stupid form of this is when they level up with you. The bandits sudddenly have armor made of daedra foreskins wielding flaming dragon bone swords and are level 9 gazillion.

Both ruin the immersion but it's easier for me to justify bandits being fucked in the head than it is justifying them having turbo rare shit all of a sudden.

Damnit, I can't find the bandit greentext. Think I've got it saved at home.

Unless it's one on the games where they level with you. Starting area bandits are now wearing crystal armor worth more than all the items in town
