Breems Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've always been curious as to how others choose their victims when playing a "dark" character. I'm specifically referring to random victims, i.e. those who you are not required to kill for a specific questline. I've always found this difficult. It's easy to determine who you want to kill from a morality perspective. For example, many people kill Nazeem due to his annoying nature and condescending tone. However, where I find the decision to be tough is when factoring in how the game actually works. I'm often reluctant to kill someone random (even if I really want to) as I'm afraid it will "break" a quest further down the line. I know that some NPCs are marked essential to resolve this, but there are many cases where killing certain NPCs would dramatically alter a playthrough later on. I've resorted to an immersion-breaking system in which I research the NPC on UESP Wiki or a similar site before deciding to kill them. What do you do? Are you a free spirit that murders everyone in your path? Or are you also concerned with the impact of your murder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boombro Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Nazeem has no quests, along with whiterun stable guy and his mother ( I think it his mother.) almost all beggers, guards, there are many people you can kill and not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis20014 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 At this point, I've played the game so damn much that I know who I should, and should not kill lol I mostly will kill guards or random npcs added by mods (populated towns and things like that) that will respawn npcs anyway. I really like using the sneak tolls and sliting peoples throats MUWAHAHA :devil: I also hate how they can freaking seemingly block it sometimes too. After I took all the time to sneak up behind them lol But researching an npc really quick never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrellius Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Once I slaughtered (almost) the entire population of Markarth, because MARKARTH MUST BE PURGED. Seriously though, that city. It's...people focus on Riften, but Markarth is way worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthorios Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 You don't murder people out of spite! That is disgusting! No matter how annoying they might be! Only when I accumulated high enough enchantment skill and enough black soul gems (or black Azura's star). Then I proceed to find a young woman from every hold, entrap their soul with my "Harvester" dagger and enchant an item (that will hold their name) to be part of my "Soul Eater" set. That is the ONLY time it's acceptable. "Ysolda" is my most prized sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyhome Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 "Ysolda" is my most prized sword. Butbutbut the energy will fade out of the weapon and have to be replaced by another soul.... :sad:Please tell me it's a Fire enchanted sword at least (to match her hair).

Arthorios Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It was fire, yes. I don't see it that way, enchantment still stays, just needs recharging :P ...but if so, I need more victims... hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
