I’ve been receiving this same comment for over a year so let me clarify. I am aware that Bolli cheats on Nivenor with Haelga. My reasoning for killing Nivenor is because she uses up all of Bolli’s money for jewelry instead of allowing it to go to charity. If Nivenor dies then there is some more hope for the poor and downtrodden of Riften. The cheating was never meant to be the reason for why you should kill her.

«id never condone murder in real life» is a weird thing to specify 😂

1: Nazeem (It's pretty much tradition at this point.) 2: Taron Dreth 3: That random old orc that is looking for a good death. (Who says the NPC has to be a terrible person?)

"Boli will be able to spend more of his money helping the poor" *Proceeds to kill Boli*

I genuinely believe Lemkil is like the tutorial for the ability to adopt children YOU orphan in Skyrim. His name is literally an anagram of 'Kill me', he is cartoonishly bad and his children would be completely better off with him dead. I genuinely believe he only exists to bait players into killing him and then discovering they can adopt his kids.

I just got to Rorikstead on a new character and a dragon appeared. While fighting it in the town it picked someone up with its mouth and flung him, so after killing it I investigated who died. "It was probably just one of the guards," I thought, well imagine my surprise when it was conveniently Lemkil. I didn't even talk to him before I got there.

Lemkil's name is literally "kill me," scrambled. The game designers made him as despicable as the ESRB eating would allow.

"My fellow Serana Simps" Damn dude didn't have to call us out like that.

As a general rule I take out all Thalmor wherever I find them. Its the principal of the thing.

Although you can't kill him without completing his quest (unfortunately) another one would be Jaree-Ra, stinking lizard wants you to make a ship crash so you can loot it, nevermind the fact you're putting the lives of everyone onboard including the innocent sailors in danger of dying; and if you do it (which I didn't) he reveals himself to be a backstabbing traitor and leader of a band of murdering bandits who kill everyone onboard anyways. His plan to put innocent people's lives in danger for profit is despicable enough for him to die, let alone everything else; too bad the game doesn't let you do it.

In Nivenors defense. She’s basically a sugar baby, but didn’t Boli cheat on her with Helga? He probably promised her an easy life lol

Sybille says something after you kill the vampires like them being nasty creatures and how she prefers finer things. She’s basically coming out and telling you she’s a vampire. I’ve always assumed that she uses the prisoners to feed on so she lives a much more comfortable existence than most vampires

Don’t forget to cap Erikur after he becomes none essential after main & theives missions & u can off Sibbi in his prison cell too

Bolli isn’t faithful himself, he was sleeping with Haelga. Though maybe that was borne out of frustration with his wife’s infidelity

One of my favorite things to do in Skyrim is to trap the souls of all the assholes and creeps I encounter in the game then either display it or enchant a weapon with it, give it a unique name and showcase it in my personally gallery called the Gallery of Insufferables. My favorite so far is the Orcish axe I crafted and enchanted with Mogrul's soul called the Bastard's Axe which I can dual wield with his other axe. It's displayed right next to his clothes and then I plan on putting Grelod's soul next to a child's doll in the gallery.

While all Thalmor deserve death, if you do his quest, Ondolamar becomes a really good friend to you no matter your race, at Ellynwyns party for the main quest he can be used to cause a distraction, actively putting his career and possibly life on the line to help a friend out. If he wasn't a Thalmor, he'd probably make for a great guy.

Sybille Stentor also has ties with the vampire leader in Red water Den in riften. She's the one who helped him progress farther to getting his red water going.

What's funny is if you kill Ondolemar in front of everyone you don't even get a murder bounty, just assault. I guess everyone in Markarth hates his ass too XD

I'd also add that honor blood bloke in windhelm, the beggar. It's implied him and stone fist (not galmar, the other one, forgot his name) are going to do bad things to Sulvis come midnight. Plus if stone fist is true to his word and plans on gathering men to beat up dark elves, one less man for him to recruit isn't it?

There should be a quest where you go around wearing Daedric Armor(borrowed or your own set), pay a visit to the various children who are spoiled brats and scare them to the point of them stop being like that.

Mogrul and his lapdog are the only NPCs who aren't agressive I've ever offed. I HATE those guys

Whenever I do the Forsworn Conspiracy, I smuggle in my gear with the dremora butler from one of the black books and use it to slaughter the Forsworn in prison. When I get out, Thonar thanks me and gives me his ring...shortly thereafter, he is mysteriously and tragically catapulted across Markarth and dies from fall damage.

Aerin (Riften) is at the top of my list. In my first play through, so many moons ago, I married Mjoll the Lioness, only to discover this creep wanted more than friendship from my wife and wasn’t about to let our marriage get in his way. Every night she went to sleep and he would creep in and stare at her while she was sleeping. If you attack him, Mjoll will rush to his defense. If you kill him, she will try to kill you. It was a challenge, finding a work around that. Laying simple traps and hiding wasn’t sufficient…. If you haven’t worked a way out to kill him without estranging yourself from Mjoll, I suggest giving it a try. That pervert deserves to die.

I'm not sure sybille should be on the list. It seems she does try her best to live a normal good life. If i recall she had a hand in raising the high king who was well liked, and as for the prisoner volunteers I assume this is her way of feeding, perhaps she picks the worst ones for feeding and does this to avoid preying on the innocents. All just speculation but I feel she behaves as good as a vampire can be.

mogrul: lookes like YOU now owe me 1000 septims, i will send a debt collector every 3 days Dragonborn: so, let me get this straight, either i loose a measly 1000 septims, or you pay people to fill by black soul gems... lol, good luck bud. i hope your pockets are deep.

Fun fact about Lemkil. So you know how sometimes, if you do some killing in an area, someone will send you a letter asking you to teach someone they dislike a lesson by hitting them a few times or maybe killing them? Well, that someone is randomly decided based on the NPC's disposition towards that other randomly chosen NPC. Because of this, all quest-related dialogue is vague, never naming anyone or revealing details about the target. Lemkil's disposition towards his daughters is bad enough where it's possible for him to hire you to attack his daughters, so you can actually attack a child that way. Fuck Lemkil

Can't believe Nazeem isn't on this list...

My favorite response in the game is actually for Thonar, some Forsworn agents break their cover to murder his family in their house and you can just respond "You deserved this"

After you've completed Skyrim's main story line you CAN kill Elewen and I highly recommend it, especially after she sends the thalmor after you.

"The Dragonborn who has touched tips with every mythical entity -" Instant subscribe

Honestly, the moment Mogrul demanded that I pay him a thousand septims, I just drew my axe and sent him to Malacath right then and there

I think the aunt/uncle who abandoned Lucia in Whiterun are the farm couple that you meet during the roadside Cicero quest. Wait till after the quest of course.

SilverBlood has suffered enough but im never satisfied.

As big a self-righteous prick as Ondolemar is, he is the only Thalmor you can actually befriend. He will actually attend Elenwen's party at the Thalmor Embassy during the main quest and should you have helped expose the Talos worship he will in turn agree to cause a diversion to help you to slip into the backrooms. That makes my impression of him neutral and I won't kill him even if he is extremely full of himself.

Sybille is actually a good vampire, well as good as they can get, but she keeps her feedings to people who are going to get executed anyway, also that forever sleep deal is a bug, she has no connection to Potema

Bolli is definitely clapping Haelga's cheeks behind Nivenor's back

I don’t think Sybille’s that bad. She advises Elisif since she sucks at ruling, and also kinda raised Torygg. Harming prisoners (if it’s true) is nothing new in Skyrim, especially for a vamp, since they need blood and whatnot. I don’t think she’s evil just because of that and some unimportant things like going to sleep, which is probably due to a bug, and being overly skeptical of the cave rumors.

How about the entire Markarth city guard? I mean Thonar Silver-Blood and the Ebony Blade is still the best ship in the game, but the guards are his puppets, killed my pal for life Eltrys, presumably were in charge of executing Braig's three-year-old daughter, framed ME, and are extremely racist to the Reachmen, Forsworn or not. In their own words, they kill any native in the town that tries to make a difference! As soon as I got out of Cidhna Mine, you can bet that the first thing I did after putting Thonar in a gem was single-handedly destroy the entire guard in front of everyone in town, going out of my way to find every last one of them in every building they were in and kill Ondolemar in the process just because he was in my way. The Jarl himself was chasing after me and a courier interrupted the fight to give me a letter of inheritance from Thonar at some point. Most fun I ever had in the game.

Bolli is also sleeping with Haelga so Nivenor isnt the only problem there

the one person i killed without realizing they were tied to a quest and such was grelod the kind and that was way back when skyrim first came out my kill list has the normal people in whiterun and riverwood but ive also put the two owners of halfmoon mill theyre a vampire couple who literally have bloody human skeletons in their shed

honestly, thank you for not mentioning Heimsker or Nazeem. like i get it, theyre wicked fucking annoying, but the hate the hate they get is also wicked annoying.

Ironically ondelomar is actually a decent person if you do his quest. He's actually one of the few thalmour who isn't an absolute asshole. He's really just doing his job.

Im surprised nobody has called the Dark Brotherhood

Let's not forget the side mission to obtain a mark of Dibella from Boli given to him by Healga whom of which he was going behind his wife's back to meet

“With Nivenor dead Bolli will spend more of his money helping people” Bolli:- *dies 3 seconds later*

btw elenwen is killable after the peace council part - just glitch back into the embassy and she's no longer essential

0:16 "touched tips" was a poor choice of words... lmao

I can't kill Sybille Stentor, I don't know why but I like her. I think she is a bit like Janus Hassildor in Oblivion when he asked the champion of kvatch to kill a group of vampires because he didn't want to risk them revealing that he was one of them. It's probably the same with Sybille when she wants us to slay the vampires. However Janus was a nice guy, he even helped the mage guild to fight against Mannimarco.

My nr1 choice is always Haelga in Riften. She forces her niece to essentially be the slave who's always surrounded by her "customers". Talking with her niece you can uncover that they not only harass her but she "works" there without sleep or rest. I always finnish that quest and either marry Svanna or just kill Healga.

You can just list every existing Thalmor in this, and nobody would ever disagree

Dragonborn: Jarl Elisif, a vampire has infiltrated your court. Here I have proof. **Shows proof.** Sabile: 😰😰😰 Elisif: Very well. I will allow you to carry out your work without the guards interfering. Dragonborn: Cool thanks. **Whips our Dawnbreaker and slaughters the visiting advisor in the middle of the Blue Palace.** Dawmbreaker: **Explodes and disintegrates the visiting advisor.** Sabile: Why am I burning?

I feel like Sybille is a lot less malevolent than you make her out to be. There are a lot of things she could have done much worse things with. Other comments explain it better, but she seems like she is a lot more well-meaning than your other vampires.

Lydia is an obvious kill choice because she gets in the god damn way of the door constantly

5:14 "-let me explain. If you aren't Fucking blind-" Had me DYING

I can't kill Ondolemar. He's the only Thalmor in the game that doesn't want to kill you immediately after two lines of dialogue. That makes him special. Yes, he is an asshole. Yes, he asks you to do abhorrent things. Doesn't stop him from being a novelty. Not counting Elenwen since she's essential. Also not counting Ancano. Not because he's tied to a quest, because I know in my bones he wants me dead before he knows I exist. Also Ondolemar showed up to my wedding. And a recently-dismissed follower did not. I went on so many adventures with that lady, saved her ass countless times, and she couldn't even make it to Riften without me explicitly commanding it. The race supremacist made the effort, and my good pal skipped out. Sure, he probably came because I'm a ruthless demigod hell bent on eating souls, and the last time the Altmer homeland had a run-in with a dragonborn it was a Numidium-driven death party so it's sensible to play nice and keep tabs on my activity lest something similar wriggle into my thoughts, but still-- the Thalmor bastard made the trip, _Lydia._

I would add Arondil to the top of the list, but it is more fun to see his ghosts get vengence than kill him myself

“I will not condemn murder… But!”

Riverwood chicken for ratting you out as a new player.

Despite some good reasons, I would argue that killing Sybille is the worst thing you could do. As pointed out by another KZfaqr, Jarl Elisif is an idiot. Even though it turns out to be a major threat, she wants to send an entire detachment of imperial soldiers to investigate the cave based solely on farmers hearing strange noises! Sybille sensibly talks Elisif out of it because that would be foolish & stupid as it would leave Solitude less defended which the Stormcloaks could’ve taken advantage of.

Killing Nazeem is overrated anyway. He's actually a giga sigma

You, casually killing each NPC in plain sight: Me, wanting to kill them but are willing to follow them to their homes, pick open their doors, and kill them in their sleep

Thalmor all deserve to face the wall, but I do like how Ondolemar genuinely sees you as a friend if you help him and he'll help you when you go to the Thalmor embassy. Pretty based if you ask me.

Thonar Silverblood was also having an affair with the shop owner next door. That shop owner's husband was mysteriously murdered by the same Forsworn that Thonar was manipulating by virtue of having their king in rags. Ironically, that same _sweet_ shop owner is a cannibal and worshiper of the daedra of decay. Those two are dead in my current play through and in the long run, Thonar's wife is better off. Killing Thonar will stop his shop keeper lover next door from buying and/or selling to you but if she's dead already (results from a quest when I refused to kill a priest), you might as well take out Thonar. A local fence will buy your loot if you do a thieves guild quest to expand their influence into Markoth.

You can kill the Torturer at the beginning even if you go with Hadvor. Just have to be quick about it and do it during the battle. Just rush in and kill him before the Stormcloaks go down. 1) He totally deserves it. His words and attitude makes him sound like he's related to Mavin. 2) You won't have to listen to the back and forth between him and Hadvar for the 1000th time.

I love how Skyrim is still living strong on KZfaq and consoles/PC...I think it's set as essential

I HAVE killed Elenwen. Not sure what you have to do first to make her no longer essential. It was late in the game and I used the horse jump trick to get into the yard behind the embassy which gives access to the embassy and solar.

in the Anniversary edition in the Grey Fox quest you find confirmation that Nivenor is cheating on Bolli (and that he knows about it) as well as learning that when an orphan child Bolli took in went missing she basically didn't bother looking. She def belongs on this list

So my Dragonborn always adopts Sofie and rescues Meeko. Then she heads to Rorikstead and kills Lemkil to make his children orphans and then only adopts Sissel and leaves the twin sister Britte to live in the orphanage. To be fair though the cranky old hag running the orphanage originally is also killed so it’s kind of a nicer place…? I’m not entirely sure where my character fits in the scale of good and evil lol

I killed Lemkil a while back but his daughters weren't sent to the orphanage. They are still in Rorikstead.

BRB going to Rorikstead. Bringing back the good kid.

Please absolutely make a part 2! With the (good) suggestions here, others you think deserve death And maybe with instructions for the few that are essential until a certain point? Ps. I vote for that once-honored to be on the list.

talks about how much he loves Serana ... says someone deserves to die for being a Vampire

The guy in soslthiem that took a huge chunk of my my money and didnt pay me back died real fast

Ok now I know who to keep alive in Skyrim... So that the others don't have to suffer their existence in Sovngarde or their chosen Aedra's Realm.

I did kill Lemkill in my Switch copy of Skyrim. I don't mind him being my only murder. Now if I can also kill Rolf Stone-Fist... Shame he's essential in vanilla. He can be rendered mortal with mods.

Sybille is a destruction teacher but she levels your illusion when you finished her quest. Very suspicious

Someone that I didn’t want to kill but did was Valdimar the awesome Nord housecarl. I rolepay as an Argonian who is the first Sith (that explains a lot I guess lol). After obtaining Valdimar we went on many adventures but one day he shocked me by asking “what do you want lizard” I was like wait what? I took several tries to get him to say it again…suffice to say Darth Tyranok offered him for the Ebony Blade😭… thus continuing his path as the first Sith Lord…

Mogul was the reason I took the poisoning skill under pickpocketing. Made a DoT poison that did some insane damage in a few seconds, honestly I WAS planning to sell it for cash when I ran into this pile of walking garbage and remember I had unspent skills. One invis spell out of site while he was drinking and I made it look like he had a massive heart attack, no bounty and no one ever tried to send anyone after me. Later had to try it on a certain orphanage owner.

People I always kill because I hate them (includes 2 obvious Whiterun characters): - Nazeem (Wind District) (Killing him angers his wife Ahlam for some reason, and she has to die too :( ) - Heimskr (Shut up already) - Everybody that turns aggressive, like the lady in the wooden shack near Riverwood (the sister of the Hagraven) - I agree on Mogrul although I never tried killing him - Lemkil - Everybody that discriminates anything but Nords (looking at the Windhelm dudes) - I know quest characters are excluded, but I can't wait to slice into Mercer Frey during the Thieves Guild quest. After that, I keep both Eyes of the Falmer, I give one to Delvin and get it back later xD Would love a "Good NPCs to marry" video.

Man I’m 10 seconds into this video and I already love it lmao, subscribed

This man has the most soothing voice yet he’s so crass and i fvcking love it

You're such a genius there's so many people on this list that I can't stand but it never actually occurred to me to take them out and make my own life easier LMAO thanks for the tip 🙏

Loved the video! Please make a part 2 :D

If you kill lemkil in sight of his daughters, you will get an unsigned note with a little gold from the courier... Interesting

Now, you say no one in Whiterun... what about Nazeem...

Fortunately you can get rid of the silver blood thonar by doing the prison quest, and may I add Grelod sure she is a PoS but her death gives you the option to wipe down the dark brotherhood as retribution for sending assasins after you! So her death is not for nothing if you want to destroy the Dark Brotherhood.

Nazeem laughing at this list sitting in cloud district (very often).

The first 30 secs of the video got me to subscribe lmao opening was relatable and hilarious 😂

Great video man love to see your channel growing so fast

I want to add Nivenor was also supposed to adopt the kid that starts you in the dark brotherhood quest when his family gets killed but she hates the idea and was happy genuinely happy when something stops him from coming to them I saw it in a letter while sneaking inside their house I think in a family safe so yea

I like this video and I like the way you communicate and your way to describe characters. I love it

I'm shocked this wasn't just a 10 minute video roasting Nazeem

I'm sorry, I'm supposed to just kill NPCs because "I don't like your attitude"? Please, talk is cheap, you know that. These NPCs may talk a big game, but in reality, they're toothless. Shouldn't make martyrs out of everyone just because they run their mouths. And I know it's just a simulation, you can do whatever you want, but freedom of choice is a big responsibility. Knowing whom you should kill and not... yes, there's times and places of when and when not to. Knowing the difference is the key. On this list, you CAN kill Mogrul after you speak with Drovis about the debt. He'll be marked non-essential and can kill him any time after that. Fair assessment, Mogrul has been taking advantage of Raven Rock's misery for the longest time and tried to make a loan shark monopoly out of it. So, in all wisdom, he IS one NPC who should be offed. Townsfolk would certainly not miss that guy. Oh yes, and Thonar Silverblood. A man who thinks himself above the law, and some citizens mention Markarth would be better off without him. You can get your chance to kill him when you side with Madanach and escape the prison. And just set difficulty to Novice and watch him get dropped by the Forsworn faster than you can say "Justice for Markarth". Now Sybille Stentor, that's quite a gray area. Sure, she's a vampire, but she's not stupid. I mean, any ignoramus hunter would immediately assume she's going to try to turn the entire court into her thralls, but that's just not the case. She's been the court wizard for many years, so, you'd think she would have taken over long ago. But no. In fact, she shows sound judgement about why the Empire is essential to Skyrim. Although it's true she gives you a quest to clear out a vampire den, but it is something that she does in order to cover her tracks. Though at the same time, you'd be doing the Hold a favor by getting rid of them. So, it's a win-win situation. But, you know, how you go about it is up to you. Everyone else, that's where I just need to say, "get a grip on your self-restraint". Nivenor? Ignore her. Lemkil? (SMH) That's bait. Molush? Forsworn escapees will take care of him, after the prison escape of course.

Maven is one of my more liked characters, as ironically, she's doing a lot more good for Riften than the Jarl is despite causing some cruelty in the process, if you really dive deep into her background and lore it starts to make some sense while leaving a lot in the air about the true motives and reason... she's a good character with bad vibes and it works flawlessly. though i can understand the hate for her by many...

Going down the rabbit hole of your videos, they're great! Glad to say I'm subbed when you have 3.15K subs 😁

6:23 I adore that you ran back over to give Sybille's corpse one last little zap.

Well I have no problem with the silver bloods considering I dropped his son when I escaped from the silver mine prison with the Richmond I'm going to kill the vampire wizard and the Blue Palace just have to figure out how to do it and probably just shiver what with a shiv and then pretty much knocked out the rest of it but yeah good list

Well, I have a "kill all Thalmor on sight" policy, when playing. Of course, I goad them into a fight to avoid getting a bounty. I just wish you could kill Elenwen. I attacked their embassy once (not related to the main quest), just for shit-and-giggles , but it seems they have an endless amount of guards. I just wonder why they haven't made an expansion for Skyrim to destroy the Thalmor there? It seems to be one of the game's loose-ends that really vexes me.

just came across your video! I really enjoyed it, definitely subbing

😂 the opening alone is hilarious. Only got 12 seconds in and I immediately like the video. You get a like. Why am I watching a game video? I don’t know but I’m glad I did
