I’m opening this thread to respond to another one from 6 years ago that has been archived

I think this will be useful in case the question comes up again, since it was hard for me to find the answer.

Riekling reinforcements start appearing after the player becomes their “chief.” It’s random (25%), but in a game where you’re constantly in combat, that percentage is actually quite high. You’ll start seeing rieklings everywhere.
I couldn’t find a mod that disables or modifies this random encounter.

Using TES5Edit, in Dragonborn.esm, you need to look for the FormID “XX038C08” –> “DLC2RieklingRescueChance”… and change the float value to whatever you want (including 0 if you want to disable it).
