So I had just started a new game and decided I was going to play on master in the beginning then switch to legendary (usually I start at adept and work my way up to master) I had just exited Embershard mine and I was running to the guardian stones for the iron ore next to it. When I tried to mine it, it said I was in combat which I thought was strange. I checked my compass and saw 4 little tiny red dot which meant they were no where near me. So I decided to run down the road toward them (towards riverwood) and crossed the river to get to them. When I arrived where my enemies were these enemies were 2 bandit chiefs and 2 regular bandits. I freaked and said "NOPE" and switched the difficulty to adept. I am playing on Xbox and have never had this happen to me. If this has happened to anyone here and it was also early in the game (I was level 3) please tell me what you did.
