I was arrested in Bravil, and served my time in prison. When I was released, there was a pirate outside the prison. He wouldn't talk to me (gave me the "got nothing to say to you, fancypants" remark). He just started walking. I followed him for a little while, and he headed for the Imperial City. I had to assume he was one of the pirates who hang out at the Waterfront.

What was he doing in Bravil? Was this a glitch? I didn't think those pirates went anywhere.

Sometimes NPCs follow you for odd reasons. Anyone following you will spawn by you when you get out of prison.

Yup. Just the other day, the guy tending the horses in the Imperial City followed me when I fast traveled to Bravil, on the 360.

NPC's tend to get themselves arrested sometimes, probably when when you get in some trouble, they get in trouble too. For some odd reason.

This usually happens to me for the NPC's in the goblin mine from the Fighters Guild.

True, but I thought they only had the option of resisting arrest or paying the fine? I've never seen an NPC end up in jail, unless they're meant to be in there for the duration of the whole game - like that guy who asked the Dark Brotherhood to murder Rufio in the Imperial City.

Happened to me but with porkchop cause i casted and command spell on him and he ended up outside layawiin castle

I have an Order priest who spwans outside any jails i spend time in and tries to kill me
But the three FG ppl from the mission in the mines do the same, and they defend me.

I know this is common but i have king Liches follow me where ever i go except in buildings.

How do you know if they didn't pay the fine?

Was the pirate the Redguard one? Because the same thing happened to me.

They generally get massacred by the guard that's arresting them, or run away with the guards in hot pursuit.

the fighters guild ppl will follow you... sorta

the pirate DLC will make pirates in bravil
