Stormcloak or imperial courier documents

[SkyrimShark85]

When you get to the quest where you have to get the documents from the imperial or stormcloak courier in the civil war quest line you don't have to kill the courier to acquire the documents. If you want to get them bloodlessly you can also pickpocket the documents. Even if your pickpocket skill level isn't very high you can still do it fairly easy without getting caught. I have actually been able to do it without getting caught when my pickpocket skill level was only at level 16 or 17.

It is hard to decide what side to choose, it is quite barbaric for a storm cloak to carry such important documents, honestly living in Solitude would be more fun; however living near the bones is kind of creepy too in Windhelm.
