One of my favorite small Skyrim mods distributed a wedding ring to random nameless NPCs, most of whom were bandits. Not quite the same, but it still added a little depth to encounters and would usually make me say “oh dammit” when I found one. I wish I could find the damn thing.
That’s the one! Thank you so much! That’s going back into my load order - and I really like the other one you linked. Well, not like, but you understand. Totally going to give that a shot as well.
When you’re sneaking around a ruin and draw your poisoned bow on a bandit’s head only to hear her talk about she hates this life but has to feed her two hungry daughters, it hits differently
A classic, for sure. That’s already in my load order along with a bunch more of his (NPCs react to Invisibility/Necromancy are also good) - JaySerpa does excellent work.
If the bandit had a wedding ring in their inventory, that’s no indication that they are the original owner. You have good odds of avenging the death of whoever they took it off of.
True. I remember one time, though, I’d cleared out Silent Moons Camp and was looting the bodies - I found four or five rings. They couldn’t have ALL stolen them, right? I guess part of the fun is making up your own story. But it made me FEEL something after years of clearing bandit camps (I felt like a monster, but still)

JaySerpa is a legend.
