Sometimes you will meet some random people asking for your help. You can leave them (it won't result in your honor/fame points) or try to help them. Some quests can be completed in two ways: you can kill your enemies or catch them. If you will bring the bandit alive you will get some honor points. If the bandit will be dead, you won't get any honor points. For every completed task you will be awarded with some Fame points and some money.
In the case of random encounter a blue icon will appear on your mini map.
