Unless I want to do a particular quest, I religiously avoid quest-givers that run up to you (or force dialogue when you get close), like the guards at Falkreath when at level 10 (for A Daedra's Best Friend), couriers that I know are going to deliver the flier from Silus, Eltrys, who starts The Forsworn Conspiracy (tip: if you want to avoid him, but want to head inside the Silver-Blood Inn, wait until 8 or 9 at night when he goes home to sleep), and the Alik'r after you visit Whiterun the first time. I've tried to avoid the guards from Wiindhelm, but they get me every time. Why do their starting comments always have to be about Aventus Aretino?!
