People outside ruined Daedric Shrines... - by loony

I've been wondering this for a long time but always forget to ask...
It seems going to almost any Daedric shrine you'll find it swarming with Skamps and other creatures that attack on sight, but there's also usually other adventurers around that seem unphased by the creatures and are quite friendly with me. However going into the shrine usually results in more adventurers... these ones are not quite so friendly however.
So what's the deal? If the ones outside are adventurers like me, why don't they get attacked like me? If they're disciples or something like the folk inside the shrine, why don't they attack me on sight?
While I'm at it, how come all the fairly unarmed folk around campfires in the wilderness attack on sight? You think they'd be a little more respectful to someone with the appearance of a level 69 Battle-Mage in Ebony Armor!
I'm not looking for real answers, just ideas and thoughts :cheeky:

They´re obviously lovers! Sort of gross when you think about it...

The ashlanders around the camp fire think you are just a n00b who consoled in some ebony armour. OR they are pissed off that you interrupted their threesome (notice how they normally come in 3) and are so depressed without this constant sex that they would rather die then wait for you to leave.
The people outside daedric ruins are too lazy to kill you, there just there to eat off you inards after a daedra does it for them. You see, daedra and the people inside the shrine want to kill you and rape your corpse (gently) and the people outside are just hungry for some newbie corpses.

Generally, the people around camp fires are thieves and they try to rob you. (I didn't say they were smart thieves).
The people around Daedric Shrines are usually (but not always) Bouyant Armigers who are supposed to hunt the bad Daedra. They don't usually attack (and aren't attacked) because the AI wasn't advanced enough to do it without specific scripts.

no no, I appreciate the real answers too :)
I tend to think though that some of you aren't playing the same game I am ;) threesome indeed. *I* am the one carrying the booze and moon sugar... which no party would be complete without! Well... I suppose that's what they were attacking me for... didn't think I was gonna share... their loss! Who's doin the corpse now tough guy?!?! WAH HA HA HA HA!!!
Yeah so, thanks for the thoughts :D

True Story:
My teacher was in the navy for a couple of years. They were in port in Cuba one day and most of the crew were out 'seeing the sights,' so the ship's pretty much empty except for five guys, each with a pistol, guarding the ship. Anyway. Eventually they hear screaming and they see this guy chasing another guy with a hammer around the ship. They weren't exactly sure what to do, but one guard had the presence of mind to draw his gun. He was a bit late though; A glancing blow to the head (with the hammer) took out the guy who was running away, broke his head open.
They'd been at sea for a while and the guy with the hammer refused to give his crack to the second guy. The second guy then stole it and wouldn't give it back. You'll all be happy to know that the victim survived, if with a few brain cells missing.

So which one is your teacher now, the guy with the hammer or the one with the stolen crack? :erm:

I Loony, do solemly swear to never bring up drugs and/or partying in a post again, for fear of more true stories :weird:
PS: Killed the Tribunal king last night for kicks. He's a toughy! Took all my Black Dart Gang's Black Darts! :cool:

Oh, no, neither one were my teacher. Though he is the teacher that reminds me of you (Cyrano.) Just stay out of the Navy, heh.
There is a mod out there that adds... Well... It doesn't add thieves and bandits around campfires. But! Just like the assassins in Tribunal, they attack you in your sleep. And let me tell you.
These guys are NOT a push over.
I was level 47 and they mopped the floor with my sorry butt. I was so surprised I didn't even lift my sword. After 30 levels of being a veritable god, suddenly meeting someone who can cut your head off is a bit of a shock.
